Travel Report: Daegu, South Korea

English

How do you travel from a place to another?

Daegu is not the easiest city to move around, because a subway line from the university to downtown is not ready yet. It will be complete some time after 2005. You can take a bus to downtown, but it takes about 45 minutes depending on the traffic. You learn the most important bus numbers easily, but it's difficult to know where to get off at the first time. Announcements are in Korean.

There is good time to travel around Korea in weekends. You can take a train to Seoul, the capital of South Korea, but it takes 4 hours. It's cheap to travel by train and students also get a small discount. Busan is the second biggest Korean city on the south coast. It takes 1,5 hours to get there by train. It's easy to travel around Seoul and Busan, thanks to an excellent subway system.
