I'm a Daejeon citizen who is from Daejeon and has been living until now. It's a video that breaks the preconceived notion of Daejeon. Thank you for your trip to Daejeon.
It’s my hometown but you guys know so much more than I do 😮 Jangtaesan looks amazing ! Good thing about Daejeon is that it only takes about 50~60 minutes to go to Seoul when taking KTX. I hope you guys enjoy while you’re here(Presumably in Daejeon?)
We love to explore Daejeon! Yemisi has lived here for a few years, MIchael (me) visits often. And yes, Daejeon is very easy to get to because of the KTX which we love.
Decided to try Burgiz out because of your video! I walked in and you guys were finishing up eating 😂😂. Didn’t want to bother you, but thanks for the rec, the godfather was amazing
very well put video, awesome places, appreciate leaving the names on during the whole segment so I can note it down if I decide I like it and dont have to rewind back, Im planning a trip throughout SK and watching vids for many cities, wish every video was like that 😩 peace ❤
Oh god I have been living Daejeon 30 years, but when every time my foreign firends asked me to remcommend places for their travel I panicked😂😂 Now I can finally recommend places for them! thanks to your video!
This is awesome I am in Daejong right now bored AF as my SO is in a conference our hotel has no pool and just finished a work out and thanks to this post I am off to explore. Thanks again. The lame thing is that as a vegetarian, Korea has no options, seriously like zero. They look at you like if you are from Mars and then they bring you octopus haha
Its pretty far out, we spent about an hour before it closed, but it definitely wasnt enough because its so beautiful. 2-3 hours should be good! There is a restaurant called Naduri, we haven't been to it but its well rated. There is also a convenience store with snacks, but when we were there later in the day it was closed, so brining a snack could be nice
Do you have an area you recommend finding and apartment for the summer in Daejeon? Will be working northwest of expo park. Am I better off staying close to work or being more central and having to commute ? Thx
Yuseong is a great place to stay for the summer, because it is a very lively area with a lot of food, entertainment and transportation because of the subway station. We also recommend Dunsan for similar reasons. Unfortunately, the area north of Expo is probably where the city has the weakest public transport. If you're working near the college (KAIST) then I recommend Yuseong, if you're working near Shinsegae, maybe Dunsan is a better neighborhood for getting to work.
In general, Daejeon doesn't get a ton of tourists, but yes Fillipino are one of the main people that visit Korea, so a portion of tourists are Fillipino. I think there are many more Fillipino tourists in Seoul, though.
@@michaelandyemisi oh wow I didn't know most of tourists in South Korea are Filipinos and I thought it's mostly White/Caucasian people bc some people said that South Koreans are racists or xenophobic to non-White foreigners especially to Southeast Asians
No I did not say MOST of tourist sre Filipino, just that of the tourist that come to Korean, many of them are Filipino due to its proximity to the country. I'm not Korean so I cant speak to the entire country. I have never personally experienced racism or xenophobia, in fact ive only had neutral and positive interactions with Koreans. But I'm sure that is an issue for some people, especially during covid. I think its mostly due to misunderstandings because Korea is vastly a mono culture and is relatively isolated. I'm sure different foreigners have different experiences. ~Michael
@@michaelandyemisi oh yeah, but goodluck to me if I or we go to South Korea and I will pray that I hope we'll have a good experience there but I think if you go to the touristic areas only or if only stay in 1,2 or 3 days you won't have a bad experience or bad experience much there because they're (some South Koreans) already know you'll leave immediately on their country
@@michaelandyemisi but the 2 Filipino vloggers telling me and said they're have good experiences there and I think most of Filipino tourists in SK have a good experiences there because I see the videos they're looks happy when they're travelling there and we shouldn't believe in the internet said that most of Koreans/South Koreans are racists,xenophobic or nationalists because not every people in the internet said are true
Most of this was filmed in 2020, during the peak of Coronavirus when much of the country was on high alert. These days, most people do not wear masks. Sometimes when the air is bad due to pollution from China or yellow dust people will wear masks, but not usually.
You definitely should visit! It depends on where you are. In Seoul, there are a lot of people with English skills and lots of signs and transport have English so its not hard to get around. Where we are in the video, Daejeon, there is a lot less English. Important signs have English but not a lot of people speak it. That being said, papago is a great translator, and Korean people are very friendly and usually willing to help out and be nice, especially if you show good respect.
@@lisayeates8664 Daejeon is a great place to visit and stay. If you have a translation app and a little know-how anyone can go there. People in Daejeon are really nice and I haven't had any issues getting around and having fun! If you have any questions about the city let us know :) ~Michael
i was in Daejen last year and watche this video. Now here for a month and done pretty much all museums and thigs on the video except for the Puri mountain and the other park. This is a place for no more thant 3 days. Is boring AF. Even the locals agree
Any place is boring if you let it be. Life is what you make it, and travel is what you make it! We've been to 20 countries but we still love Daejeon a lot. I think sometimes people assume all of Korea will be as exciting as Seoul, but forget it is one of the largest/densest cities in the world so of course it will have tons to do.

Hello i am from Bangladesh may i talk to you? May i have your social MEDIA account?
As a person from Daejeon, Daejeon is famous for not having much to play in Korea But thank you for enjoying it😊
Hey thanks for the video. I arrived in Daejeon today and this was exactly what I needed.
It’s my hometown but you guys know so much more than I do 😮 Jangtaesan looks amazing ! Good thing about Daejeon is that it only takes about 50~60 minutes to go to Seoul when taking KTX. I hope you guys enjoy while you’re here(Presumably in Daejeon?)

Yemisi has lived in Daejeon for almost 4 years now, and now I live here in Korea too! We love the area a lot.
I loved this place

심심한 도시 대전시를 이렇게 멋진 소개가 가능하군요 ㄷㄷㄷ
전 대전에서 30년 살았습니다 ㅎ
Thank you! We love 대전
Wow, that’s where I was grown up. It looks so different from it was back then. It recalls good memories when I was in Korea. Amazing video bro.
Glad you enjoyed!

Decided to try Burgiz out because of your video! I walked in and you guys were finishing up eating 😂😂. Didn’t want to bother you, but thanks for the rec, the godfather was amazing

hi!! how many hours do you reco to roam around jangtaesan forest? are there cafes or should bring snacks when going there?
Its pretty far out, we spent about an hour before it closed, but it definitely wasnt enough because its so beautiful. 2-3 hours should be good! There is a restaurant called Naduri, we haven't been to it but its well rated. There is also a convenience store with snacks, but when we were there later in the day it was closed, so brining a snack could be nice

What the places name in Korean? I couldn’t find some of the places using the English name
Which of the places would you like to know?
Wow.what.time.did.you.get.up.there.no.people.a.round❤❤❤
A lot of this footage was taken during corona (of course following all the regulations). Most places are busier now.
There's many Southeast Asian tourists including Filipinos in Daejeon right?
In general, Daejeon doesn't get a ton of tourists, but yes Fillipino are one of the main people that visit Korea, so a portion of tourists are Fillipino. I think there are many more Fillipino tourists in Seoul, though.

hello, good job. why do people wear mask in Daejeon ?
Most of this was filmed in 2020, during the peak of Coronavirus when much of the country was on high alert. These days, most people do not wear masks. Sometimes when the air is bad due to pollution from China or yellow dust people will wear masks, but not usually.
@@michaelandyemisi thank you
OMG The Burgiz!!! 뭘좀 아시네요
Dude likes to hike
Guilty as charged. Korea has a ton of great hiking and outdoor activities.
i want to visit and get a nice korean haircut too, im from the uk how is the language barrier, do i need to learn korean
You definitely should visit! It depends on where you are. In Seoul, there are a lot of people with English skills and lots of signs and transport have English so its not hard to get around.
