About the movie

1. Why does the girl who was in the accident have to pay for ambulance, even though she was insuranced?

- Because she didn't call the insurance company before she rode the ambulance. She said when she called the company, the operater said you didn't inform us that you rode the ambulance, so you need to pay for it. This situation does'nt make any sense. If you had an accident, you would really confuse. So there's no time to call the insurance company. Be very rarely, if you had really serious accident, so you lost conciousness, than you can do anything about it.


2. How does a medical director who works for an insurance company get bonuses?

 - They get the bonuses when they reject their clients' demand as many as they can. Because if they reject their clients' demand, they can protect their property. This is really crazy... The insurance company is founded to cure the sick people. But they reject their clients' pain. They need to be change in a hurry!


3. How much does medicine cost in England?

 - It was so amazing. The medicines in England is almost 10 dollars(6.65 pounds)!  It has nothing to do with the medicine's kind and quantity. You just pay only 10 dollars for any drugs!


4. What are the differences between the healthcare systems in Europe and US?

 - Europe's healthcare system doesn't cost absolutely but US's does cost very much, very expensive for everything. Especially, the maternity leave system of  Europe was very impressive. They give 6 months paid vacation and 6 months unpaid vacation to the max to the woman who has childbirth.
We should benchmark this system. In Korea, I heard, when career woman get pregnant, they should quit the job. So I really envy this system, because many telanted women quit the job when they get pregnant.


5. How do medical directors deny requests for medical treatment?

 - Directors find the clients' past medical history which clients' didn't inform to them. Or they mention very trivial rules which are in very thick insurance gouide book. If they find some medical history which they don't know about, they continusly talk about that and deny requests. If they mention trivial rules, and you are in confusion, they will dig into that weak point. Like, "As you see~ this part is blocked in here, and that is impossilble because of this condition." They just cajolement clients.

산기 뚝배기 (Kenen, Georgie)

산기 뚝배기

Kenen, Georgie

I’ll introduce you the San-gi Ttukbaegi restaurant in first basement floor at TIP. Almost all Korean guys like ttukbaegi food we think, but girls don’t like it usually. Anyway, San-gi Ttukbaegi is not only the most satisfying meal but also very good for students at Kpu. I can assure that. Because at San-gi Ttukbaegi, the rice is unlimited. If you want some more rice, you can go to the boiled-rice bowl and just put some rice in your rice bowl. Also it’s cheap, only 4,000 won each. It only takes 3~5 minutes to cook from when we order it. Additionally, this restaurant is managed by middle aged couple, and they are very kind to us. Plus, there is only two choices. 순댓국(sundaetguk) and 뼈해장국(bbyuhaejangguk). Now we are going to introduce them.

1. 순댓국 (sundaetguk)

Georgie

 This is 순대국(sundaetguk). I really really love it. When I go to San-gi Ttukbaegi, I eat only 순댓국(sundaetguk), Sometimes I eat this everyday. So my friends say, “Oh my god... We are going to San-gi Ttukbaegi again?? You are crazy about 순댓국(sundaetguk).” This is just a story. Let’s go into 순댓국(sundaetguk). As you see, the soup is white, and there’s some choices, which you can decorate. For example, salt, perilla, spicy sauce, fermented shrimp. You can put some of these as your preference. I prefer you to put some spicy sauce, fermented shrimp, perilla. But it’s your choice so I’m not enforcing you to do that. However there is some reason that I prefer fermented shrimp to salt. Fermented shrimp and salt’s role is similar but fermented shrimp is more healthy and proper with 순댓국(sundaetguk).

Finally, I want you to try it sometime. It's really good! Oh, please be careful when you eat this, because it's very hot.

SCORE: ★★★★★

2. 뼈해장국 (bbyuhaejangguk)

Kenen Lee

 In Sanki Ttukbaeki, there are 2 choices, 순댓국(sundaetguk) or 뼈해장국(bbyuhaejangguk) and I have tried both of them, but for now, I’m only commenting 뼈해장국 (bbyuhaejangguk). There are many things that I want to say and first, it has reasonable price. Both of 뼈해장국bbyuhaejangguk) and 순댓국(sundaetguk) cost 4000won Moreover, we can eat rice and kimchi as much as we want. However, when we go out to eat 뼈해장국(bbyuhaejangguk), they cost over 6000won with limited rice and amounts are same with those in Sanki Ttukbaeki. Many people would think that meal that costs 4000won won’t taste good and use good ingridients. However, when I eat 뼈해장국(bbyuhaejangguk), I don’t feel any chemical flavoring materials. On the table, there are four kinds of seasonings and we can put them according to our tastes. So you can add them according to your taste. In 뼈해장국(bbyuhaejangguk), they put 2 big meats and they are really well cooked. With meat and hot soup, you can enjoy satisfying meal at 4000won.

SCORE: ★★★★☆

Han's Deli

"Han’s Deli" is the one of four booths in food court of TIP basement. It is a restaurant specializing in fried rice. Therefore, there are a bunch of rice dishes in Han's Deli. The kitchen looks quite clean and looks sanitary. The dishes of Hans Deli have something special in common. There is a pack of Gim (dried seaweed), so you can tear them and eat them with omelet.

Now I'm going to talk about two dishes of Han's Deli.

The first dish is "Chicken Ball Omelet (3900won)". This is an original dish from Han's omelet, the featured dish of the restaurant. Chicken ball Omelet has fried rice capped with eggs and some fried chicken balls. It tastes like normal fried chicken. I think you might be embarrassed by the scents of tomato sauce on it. If you'd like to have different tastes, I recommend you to have "Sausage Omelet". It has a big sausage instead of chicken balls.

★★★☆☆

The second one I'm going to review is "Dondori Fried Rice(3500won)". It is not a normal fried rice. It's a stir-fried dish of some vegetables, rice and pork and there are some slices of lettuce leaves. The ingredients seem to be fresh, especially the vegetables. It tastes like having rice and pork together wrapped in leaves of greens. It is really delicious.

★★★★☆

You can also enjoy other dishes of rice foods in Han's Deli. I'd like to recommends "Fried rice with Teriyaki" and "Buldak Rice".

Olive Green (Jed,Chris)

Olive Green

I went OLIVE GREEN. There were salary men more than student so their atmosphere was very messy. When I went to OLIVE GREEN first time I couldn’t find 4 seats because there were many people. So we waited an half hour but this time when we got there, there had many seats. I think the most people visit OLIVE GREEN compared with other cafeteria at (11:00 ~ 13:00) lunch time. It takes too much time to came out. If you have lunch time less than an hour, I recommend you don’t go OLIVE GREEN. if you go, you will late the class. As you can see the picture price is reasonable and they have many type of food and quantity was satisfied for me. if you ask me about what is best on the menu list, I will choose you Garlic Pork Cutlet.    - Jed

 

 

Chicken Talk(Jed,Chris)

A fine dinner at Chicken Talk



A honey sauce and a pint :
reasonable compensation for the hard work.




 







It was 10/30 Wednesday. My heart was as gloomy as the grey sky of the Dublin. Every
Wednesday I attend a Creative Engineering class which makes me very compulsive
with class tasks. And fortunately 10/30 was the day that I screwed my task. I
felt the sky is collapsing and sudden blackout is coming. The day of total
failure I thought until I open the door to Chicken Talk.



 The overall atmosphere was quite comfortable
and friendly. And they rapidly serves meal. I tried fried chicken nugget with a
500cc beer. The first glance of chicken nugget was quite reasonable, reasonable
amount with reasonable smell. The honey sauce has soothing effect and beer goes
really good with that.



 The time I was in Chicken Talk was great
consolation for me. And I'm sure that it will make you feel happy.                         -Chris




SCORE ★★★★☆

Noel, Mom's touch

Noel

 Noel is a bakery next to Day Day in TIP. Its yellow lighting makes the atmosphere cozy. So you can buy bread and eat comfortably.

 If you want to take bread, they will give you a plastic bag like in this picture.

 Also, Noel sells cake, too. If today is your friend’s birthday, you don’t have to go out of school.

Madeleine

★★★☆☆

 Two is a set.

 A set is 1800won.

 It has two flavors. One is basic castella taste, it tastes just basic castella. The other is chocolate taste, it is hardly sweet.

 There is nothing in madeleine.

 I think there is something in basic flavor, but it isn’t. So I’m very

disappointed.

Cheese Muffin

★★★☆☆

Two is a set.

A set is 2000won.

It is smaller than paper cup.

It is soft and delicious, but it has weak cheese taste.

I expected strong cheese flavor, so I was disappointed.

Mom's Touch

 In Mom’s Touch, you can buy just only burger or a set. A set has one burger, a cup of coke and

fried potato. Its coke is pepsi. 

 It has a variety of dishes. For example, different types of burgers and side menu like cheese stick.

 You can sit wherever you like. If there are no seats, you can take out food. 

 A set is more expensive than other KPU food but the price for a burger is similar to other KPU food.

Time taken is proper and the taste is good especially fried potato. But don’t compare your burger with

the picture of burger on the menu because it is a little different.



Hot plus Whole Meat Burger.

 ★★★★☆

  It is 6200won for a set and 4000won for a burger.

  It has chicken, pickle, onion and lettuce. 

  You can see red sauce in this burger. Because of this

 sauce, it is a little spicy. So if you don’t eat spicy food

 well, I recommend that you order another burger.

  I ordered it at 13:21, it got my order at 13:25. It took 

 only 4minutes.

  It is delicious but the size is small. Therefore I give 

 Mom’s Touch 4 stars.

zoo-coffee(jay-z,james)

v style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> In kpu, there are only three cafes ,day-day,noel and zoo- coffee most of them have a each merit. DayDay sells somethings cheaper than others,noel sells delicious bread and then,zoo-coffee sells most delicious coffees among the three cofes.But, little expensive. For example,white chocolate latte,caramel macchiato,cafe mocha etc. There are many side menus like ice cream and waffle. Zoo-cofffe is located in 산융, beside food court. As a result, even though the Cafe is a little expensive but that is the most delicious Cafe, so I recommend it to you.

Tomato Dosirak (Heather, Jenny)

   

Tomato Dosirak

-Jenny, Heather

You know the emerging forces in KPU foods? Do you know the best resonable price in KPU foods? It is the Tomato Dosirak! It has many kinds of dosirak, even if it has chicken!! This restaurant is specialized in rice dishes, but there are some strongest points. One is that prices of the dishes are very cheap. Most of dishes don't cost over 4000\. Another point is we can enjoy different flavors with different ingredients, such as fried pork, chicken, potato, and so on. Therefore, you can see lots of selections on the menu list. Just choose what you love to have, and eat it! Now, introduce some foods in it.

First food is "Chicken Mayo." Its price is just 2700won. Isn't it so cheap?

But its amount is a little bit small. So I recommend that you add rice.

It is just 200won. So the total price is just 2900won.

When you order that food, you get sauce. Put the sauce on the rice, and just mix them together. Then you can enjoy the meal!

   

Next food is"Shrimp Potato Mayo (3200\)". As you can see, it has an fried shrimp and potato in it. Before eating, you need to put some teriyaki sauce; that is the main point of dishes in Tomato Dosirak. In fact, I love shrimp and potato, so I found the dish especially delicious. I have had "Fried Pork Mayo", but I think Shrimp Potato Mayo tastes much better.

price:★★★★★ taste:★★★★ atmosphere:★★★☆

Day-Day (Heater, Lucy)

What is the BEST?

    Lucy, Heather

Icing Juice 1400won Do you like bubble? Do you want cheap drink? Then your best choice in Day-Day is Icing Juice!! It has many flavors, strawberry, apple, pomegranate, peach, blueberry. All flavors are sweet and delicious. So if you drink it everyday, you will not get tired of this and you will not become a beggar. Try this!	Tiramisu Latte 2200wom Tiramisu Latte in day-day is cheaper than any other cafe. You can't find this price anywhere. And it's taste is also good compared with common Tiramisu Latte. It has two verson. Hot & Cold. It's like a Tiramisu cake. If you like Tiramisu cake, take this coffee. Once you eat this, I absolutely sure that you like it too.

U9

U9 (TIP Basement)

U9 is a corner in TIP Basement cafeteria. For me, it's the best of 4 corners in there. The reason is they have most tasty food and make fast. As TIP Basement is the biggest in our school, there are so many kinds of dishes. In U9, they make many kinds of topped rice, such as rice topped with chicken, bulgogi, red pork, raw fish. More, they make cutlet, noodles, and bibimbab. Price of them are around 4000 Won but I think quality of foods is over 4000 Won meal. Amount of food is just normal but for people who eat a lot, just like me, it feels little bit not enough. Another good thing is U9 makes little soup with all kinds of dishes and that makes my appetite. For the last, here is my score for foods in U9.

Taste       ★★★★☆

Price        ★★★☆

Time        ★★★☆

Quantity   ★★★

Overall     ★★★☆

PS. Sorry I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture

Moscasa (Shen, Georgie)

Moscasa

Shen, Georgie

Since restaurants are pretty far away from KPU, students usually have their meals in school. However, there were not many places to eat in KPU so students didn't haver many choices of food. With this reason, 3 more restaurants were opened next to     산융(San-yung). They are Mom's touch, Tomato, and Moscasa.

We're gonna introduce Moscasa among them.

 

 

 Moscasa is located between Mom's touch and Tomato. It is place where sells iron plate food and omeelet rice.

 During the lunch time, there are lots of students since 3 places share the tables. Atmosphere of this place looks really active because of many students. It has many dishes on the menu include rice dishes and noodles.

 The average price of dishes is 4000won. After the order it takes 10~15 minutes for the food. If the number you have come up to the screen then you can take your food to table. The taste of dishes is pretty good. Iron plate foods are little bit spicy with nice taste. Omeelet rices taste wonderful too, but these are not hot. The poor thing about omelet rice was there was no vegetable in it. The amount of the food is not plenty. So if you are very hungry, we don't recommend here. Generally, Moscasa is very good, but the quantity of the food is little, the price of the foods is little bit high.

OVERALL SCORE:★★★☆

HW until sunday -Magazine articles (종합관)

M.U.S.T have

jonghab kuan FOODS!

 

It located in KPU Jonghab Kuan 1st floor. It takes only 5minutes from T.I.P,

It’s very close and it’s interior design also good to see. First time when I’ve been there, I was surprised at the quality of foods.It’s more delicious than T.I.P school foods I think.

They costs only 1500₩ to 5000₩, someone feel it’s very expensive for university food, but they are valuable to eat. There are a lot of foods, for example 순두부 찌개(sundubu-jjigae),돈까스(donggass),카레(curry),제육덮밥(jeyuk dubbob),라면(la myeon) etc. I think the 순두부 찌개 is the best food.

Because it takes only 5~10minutes to come out, taste good, not that expensive(4000₩), and it can also relieve a hangover. So it’s very popular to many univ. students. Quantities are needless to say, it’s so reasonable that can feel full.

There services are also good. Clerks guide well with full of kindness.

I want to give Jonghab kuan Lounge Foods ★★★★☆, and I recommend someone who read this column compulsorily to eat 순두부 찌개.

Thank you for reading :D
