I'm in the process of applying for a position at Dongui Middle School, and am looking for any information.

Good place, this Yangjeong? and the school?

its a couple of stops from seomeyon. not much there particularly, a disused US military base takes up most of yangjeong, but you are close enough to seomeyon, dongnae and other places that you can take a bus or subway to get to the good stuff in busan easily enough.

I've lived in Yangjeong for a long time. The previous poster is right. There is nothing much there but it is fairly central.

It's about a 6000-7000won taxi ride from PNU or BKNU/KU nightlife areas. All the shopping chain stores are close if that matters. one side of the subway has a couple of big apartment complexes. The other side to Yeonsan dong has mostly older housing, or some newer 'villa' buildings.

It's about 40 minutes to Haeundae beach by subway.

Decent enough area. Close to Somyeon (a busy district) and has easy access to most of the city because of the public transportation choices in that area.

Thanks, all.

Just refreshing this.

Anyone of you there now?

[Horangi Munshin]

I still live there.

[Omkara]

I'll be there, it looks like, at the beginning of April.

What's the mood of the place? How do you spend your time there?

theres a korean class i go to in yangjeong on saturdays (free). PM me if you want details of when/where. its a good opportunity to meet some people.

I just go about living.

I work a fair bit so I rest at home usually. The neighbourhood is nice enough, the local bakers know me well. One in particular makes excellent multigrain bread. If I do stuff it could be all over the city. It's a nice base of operations.
