THE DAEGU NEWS BULLETIN "A rather blustery day"

Annyong! Today is very windy, with a smattering of sprinkles and general cloudiness. However, if it wasn't so blustery, the air would be be totally saturated with moisture. As it is, the mugginess is bearable. That's it for the weather report, now for the top headlines!

Well, it appears not much is happening at the moment besides the usual weekly activities of teaching, Korean lessons, and church. Today's top story involves the college and career Korean worship service. The sermon, while not understood very well by one worshipper in particular, was excellent and in summary was about how our lives are changed by Jesus Christ and that through difficult circumstances, we should be mindful of that change and praise Him. Regretfully, a foreigner who was in attendance came down with a headache and could not participate in small groups afterwards. In the weekly news, 3 classes were given oral tests by their Mingugin teacher and all did very well. And now, time for sports!

In the sports world, a few new developments are taking place. First, a certain foreign teacher was spotted this morning at Duryu Park taking advantage of some newly purchased roller blades on the skating area. Then, she was seen getting in a 2.5 mile run afterward. All of this activity in the extra humid weather produced an enormous amount of sweat but it did not seem to deter that teacher. In the coming week, it is rumored she will start Taekwondo lessons again. It is also known that this teacher intends to find out how to become a member of her in-apartment gym so as to take advantage of the very nice weight equipment. And as we leave the world of sports behind, we will now enter the world of the arts.

Topping the news of the arts is the recent acquirement of new skills by a guitar-playing teacher. She had now learned a new song which in difficulty, has proved somewhat of a challenge to both strumming and finger work. However, now that she has worn new blisters on her fingertips by constant practice, the song and the confidence gets better every day. Moving on, it looks like there is news on the food watch.

On Saturday, a few ladies and their foreign friend from the English Bible Study went to a local Chinese restaurant for some delectable cuisine. On the menu was Dyong Bon (the spicy soup from last Sunday) and chunks of fried pork smothered in a sweet, sticky sauce. It was delicious and was enjoyed by all.

Well, we hope you have enjoyed our broadcast for this evening. We hope you'll join us again next time for the latest news and happenings in Daegu city. Till then, annyong i kaseyo!
