Korean Tourism Videos

Korean Tourism Videos Hello and welcome! In Korea the saying is, “Eat where the taxi drivers eat.”

It was with this thought in mind that the idea for these videos came about.

When you are on the road in an unfamiliar place and want to find a good place to eat, in America we say, “Eat where the truck drivers eat.” The assumption is that truck drivers, who are always traveling, know the best places to eat along their routes. Visitors who rely on guidebooks will generally go the same places, do the same things, drink the same drinks, and eat the same meals. So how do you

find the authentic Korean experience, especially when your Korean friends may think kimchi is too spicy for you, soju is too strong for you, and chopsticks are well beyond your dexterity level? Or, worse yet, what if you don’t have any Korean friends to turn to? These videos were made by Keimyung University students in the advanced tourism English conversation courses to introduce visitors to what locals enjoy doing in Korea, and especially in Daegu. Students were asked to introduce their favorite places, activities, and foods, with a special focus on things that foreigners could not learn about from guidebooks. Finally, students were asked to anticipate any problems visitors might have – how do I get there, what do I say to the waiter in Korean – in order to let tourists in Korea relax and enjoy a more authentic and fun visit. The students worked hard to make these videos, but they also had a great time on the project. It is our hope that you have an equally fun time during your stay in Korea and visiting these sites. Finally, thanks to the students of my tourism English classes for making these videos and a very big thank you to Casey Allen and Peter Daley for their hard work in putting together websites to share these videos with others.

At Pusan Aquarium, situated right on Haeundae Beach, you can scuba dive with sharks, sting rays, and numerous other kinds of sea creatures. No scuba diving experience is necessary as Michael Jones, tour founder and dive instructor, will explain everything during the pre-dive meeting and then explain the basics of diver safety in the shallow pool adjacent to the main tank just before you dive.

Gatbawi, located at Palgong, is one of the major destinations for visitors to Daegu. It is a statue of the Buddha with one distinct difference: a hat, or “gat.” It is also a popular place for locals, who go there to pray for special requests, especially good grades for their children on the college entrance exam. Finally, it is a popular destination for hikers.
