The local college in Daegu is Kiemyung College. It is rather new, and the buildings are very beautiful. The college is built into a hilside. At the top is the church. All very spectacular.
On the campus there is a re-creation of an ancient school and village. It shows in exact detail how an old village and school would look a few hundred years ago. The official name is Keimyung Cultural Village. It is free and open to all.

There is a main pedestrian street that starts by the main Train Station and goes south into the heart of the old downtown.
There are countless shops and boutiques along these streets, but if there are also plenty of street vendors out in the evening and early night hours.
You can buy anything from clothes, shoes, souveneirs, DVD's to suitcases, electronics and food. Even if you don't buy anything, the people watching can be fun.

Wow. What a beautiful sight. Gatbawi is a medicinal Budha situated on a peak in Palgongsan Park. It was built in the 7th century. It is most noted for the flat rock on its head. The panoramic view from the top is absolutely stunning.
Legend goes that the Bubha will grant you one wish. So choose wisely. You should also have a go trying to place a coin next to this vertical rock face.
The climb up is 2 kilometres from the village and takes about 45 mins. All the way up there are stalls selling traditional snacks.
Entrance is free.

Donghwasa was found in the 5th century. It has since been rebuilt many times. During the Japanese invasion it was used by the monks as a headquarters.
During Chuseok the main temple grounds are busy with children playing traditional games. It is also decorated with many colourful lanterns.
The main attraction Tong-il Daebul is a 33m high medicinal Budha. The Budha is surrounded by an amphitheatre. The amphitheatre has many carvings of Budhas and Warriors. It is magnificent and has a truly beautiful view down the mountain.
If you like a challenge have a go at throwing some coins into the pond. There is a stone hole at the bottom good luck.
Cost W 2500. Free if you come in from the top of Palgongsan.

The arboretum is on the slope of Apsan. There is a nice variety of plants and lots of places to sit and relax. The highlights are the two hot houses. The one contains a huge variety of bonzai trees. The shapes and sizes are always different. The second hot house contains cacti and other desert plants from around the world. Walk carefully amongst them.

A pleasant walk in the mountains and achance to get outside of Daegu. The walk is not too long or too strenous. It has an absolutely amazing view of Daegu. One option is to bring some food and some beer and have a picnic at the top. There is also a restaurant at the top cable car station. The food is good and well priced.

Suseong is a nice quite relaxing place compared to the rest of Daegu. There are many places to sit and relax around the lake. You can even sit at some of the food stalls tables so long as you buy something. You can also rent one of the swan paddle boats and go out on the lake. You can also watch the sunset. There are many coffee shops and restaurants around the back side of the lake. It is also located next to Sinchoen riverside park

Daegu is very busy and there are many people but If you want to get a little piece and quite go to Dalseong Park. It is with in walking distance of Jungangno station. It is a bright spot of green and the view of downtown is quite good. You do feel a little sorry for the animals though.

If you do come and stay in Korea for an extended period of time I suggest you try a martial art. There are several to choose from in Korea: Taekwondo, Kick boxing and Gomdo(spelling, sword fighting). I personaly chose Taekwondo. It can be hard to find a master who speaks English, but if you do it is a great experience. It will help you learn more about the Korean culture and traditions. If you stick with it you may be able to get a black belt in about a year. The tests can be a little nerve racking. For my first black belt test, there were about 5000 other people testing in the same place on that day. And if you are a foriegner you will stick out. Beside my friend and I who took the test together there was only one other foreigner. And when you come infront of the judges, they will only be looking at you. By the way, both my friend and I passed our tests.
