Lack of international presence can be frustrating.
In a nutshell
A large commercial city, accessible easily to most of the country due to the roads radiating outward.
gaolei Says: 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...
DSwede Says: 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...
Gryphon25 Says: For a bit of family fun go to Woobang Tower Land. There are many rides. The main attraction is the camel back. There are activities for everyone. Woobang tower is inside the complex. There is an ice skating rink as well as a sky deck. The sky deck has a good view of a Daegu....
Gryphon25 Says: 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...
Gryphon25 Says: 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...

KAфE CAMAPКHд: Russian & East Europe cuisine
DSwede Says: This restaurant is run by a family of immigrants. They don't speak much English, but their English is much better than their Korean. Thankfully though, they do have a few pictures of their menu dishes and know how to say the major ingredients.The portions are of decent size...
The Holy Grill: Tex-Mex and more
DSwede Says: The Holy Grill is run by a couple Canadians and staffed by some friendly Koreans. Therefore the menu, atmosphere and entertainment is authentically western and not something that is "Koreanized".There is a large flat screen TV that often plays the popular sports games or...
Ariana Brau: All you can eat, drink and dance!
DSwede Says: The Ariana Brau is a microbrewery, with three types to choose from (Weisen, Pilsner, Stout). From the hours of 6pm~9pm, the Ariana Brau is open as a restaurant.They do offer menu items, but you would be faulting if you did not simply opt for the all you can eat and drink...
Indian Cuisine: Great Indian near Kyungpook University
DSwede Says: The dishes might look small upon first ordering them, but the flavors are rich and they will easily fill you up, regardless of how hungry you are. This is a local haunt for many of the university students and teachers since it is 2F, immediately across from the Kyungpook...
Commune's Club: Westerners hangout with live music
DSwede Says: Commune's Club has a subtitle of Lonely Hearts, but do not let that fool you. Weekends usually see this place alive with all sorts of foreigners and a few of the westernized locals.The club is in the basement level, so no windows and the acoustics might not let you hear the...
datdude313 Says: O.K. your wondering about the cherry club by the U.S. base, well, im by that base and its what we call a "juicy club".There are girls there that work under contract and they sit and talk with you if you buy them a drink.It has lights and music and all of that stuff.Its not...
Gryphon25 Says: I recommend you get yourself a transportation recharge card. It is very useful if you plan to do alot of sightseeing around Daegu. They cost W 2000 and can be bought at most subway stops. You can also recharge it at all subway stops. You can use it pay for the subway and...
miketrudeau Says: The city busses in Daegu are very cheap, and unique in that they come in three different flavours. There are the community shuttles, which are the cheapest and dirtiest, the regular busses, which are pretty much like any city bus you've ever seen and cost a fraction more...
Costco: Yes, there are Western goods in Korea
DSwede Says: CostCo... if you do not know what that means, then maybe this store is not what you are looking for.All goods are sold in bulk, but they key here is that they are western goods... the items that are hard to find in Korea. All goods from back home are available... including...
Harley-Davidson, Daegu: Bikers from the world unite
DSwede Says: Simply put it is a Harley-Davidson shop. There are two stores in Korea, one in Seoul and one in Daegu. If you have a bike, this is the only place to get parts. If you like their clothes is the the only place to get genuine HD attire The clothes are mostly for the local...
miketrudeau Says: In many Korean restaurants, there is a button on each table with which to call service. When you press it, a bell rings and someone comes promptly to your table. It's a great detail once you get used to it. When we first got here, being the polite and passive Canadians that...
miketrudeau Says: When you pass money or anything else of value to a Korean, hold whatever it is with both hands. Alternatively, you can hold it with one hand and touch your elbow with your other hand. I think the latter is an informalisation of the former.
Tongdosa Says: In my opinion the best way to get there is from Seo-bu Bus station in Daegu. There are about 15 buses a day to the Haeinsa area from Seo-bu Bus Station. The price is about 7,000W. It should stop in front of the Gaya National Park building. Then it will cost about about...
snuggie Says: A perfect place for relaxing.The SPA valley has a bade pool, SPA, steam room, water park and a fitness center.It also has a souvenir shop located at the first floor where you can purchase items such as armatheraphy, health products and character goods (eg. Sdalyi dolls - the...
miketrudeau Says: Supposedly it never snows in Daegu during the winters, but in the middle of of November 2005 we got an overnight two inches or so. So there you are. Sometimes, it snows in Daegu! How informative a tip this is!Seriously though, although the sun shines about three hundred and...
