Hello again,

I am back on the case with job hunting again and stumbled accross a vacancy in Yeongdeok! I can't find a great deal on this site or the net with the exemption of the Yeongdeok Travel site and wondered whether it was an area anyone here had any first hand experience with?

From what I have seen so far it looks very nice, very small but very nice. However I think I may still prefer to be based on the South Coast or Jeju/Geoje!

So far I am aware it is on the northern border of Pohang (A city I don't like the sound of)

The whole westside of the city is coastal with approx 8 beaches

It is an area renound for Snow Crabs and Peaches!



Does anyone know the population size of this area? Or anything else of use? sport facilities, department stores, transport, pc bangs?



Any feedback would be most appreciated!

I haven't lived at Yeongdeok but my wife's parents live about 15kms north of it. Yeongdeok town itself is a bit of shithole- rather poor/ run-down and very small. If you like nature it would be a great place to live because the air is very clean (compared to big city korea). I went cycling through there- there's still lots of snakes and Korean wild dogs and deer-like animals. The secondary roads are really quiet but asphalted so there are heaps of really good long distance cycling you could do. There's the lovely Juwangsan NP- quitre small but because it's one of the least popular can still be quiet even in hiking season. On the coast there are some decent beaches - we cycled to one North of Yeongdeok called Bul-go-rae and it was respectable and even had a lovely hamlet of traditional houses (with real people living in them and not a tourist in sight) a few kms inland.
