Hi,
I'm going to be moving to Daegu in two weeks so I'm looking for any information on the area i'm going to be living/working in. The address the school gave me is in Dalseo-gu, Paho-dong. Obviously, I was able to find Dalseo-gu but Paho-Dong doesn't seem to show up anywhere on searches.
Any help anyone could give me would be much appreciated.
Cheers |

murph14, paho-dong is on the west side. Assume you will be working at either the GnB or E-Boyoung Talking Club (Only 2 English hagwons in that dong, unless something else opened up lately.). Those schools and the local commercial district are located just outside of Exit 2 of Gangchang Station on Daegu's Subway Line 2.
You are within view of Keimyung University, one of Daegu's biggest unis. There are a lot of foreign teachers and international students there, plus there are some big hagwon chains a few stations down from you at Seongseo Industrial Complex Stn and Igok Station. As a result, many foreigners can be seen hanging out at the east gate nightlife district outside of Keimyung, which will be within 10-15 minutes walk from your school.

You will also be 12 subway stops from Banwoldang Station, which puts you in downtown. Figure 20 minutes travel time.
Also, more info on Daegu here:
