About Daegu (Taegu) City Korea - Teaching English In Daegu

 
Daegu could possibly be the most under-rated city in the country.  Daegu is located in the South central region of Korea and is famous for being the self pro-claimed fashion capital, home to pro baseball and the friendliest big city in the country.
   
 
The geographical location of Daegu makes it a prime spot for weekend adventures. The newly completed high speed train (KTX) goes directly through the city and weekend trips to Seoul, Busan and other interesting area’s are very simple and time constraints are limited.
   
 
Daegu is a big metropolitan city with a smaller and more welcoming feel to it.

Teachers living downtown have no choice but to accept the high levels of noise.  Like other metro cities in Korea constant noise is a reality and Daegu is no exception.
