Today we are going to do a tour of my neighborhood - Dongbaek - in the city of Yongin, so we
are just leaving my apartment now and I'll show you around. In the winter!
It is icy.
We have a man in a Santa suit over here and that only means one thing - Cafe Bene! I think
it is a girl. It is a man, I'm telling you.
We're out here in Audrey's area and we're zoomed into the mountains here. We're going
to give you a bit of a scenic view where she lives. You can see lots of apartments and
there is a bus just going by. And there are some local restaurants nearby.
And lots of restaurants and bakery shops and bars. This is Dongbaek - you better believe
it. This is one of my favorite chicken places. Every time I come here I get free beer. Who
doesn't want free beer?
Up top over there is my favorite pasta place in the area - Hans Deli. We go there all of
the time. What is your favorite dish there? Cheese oven spaghetti. We even made a video
going there once.
These days it is Korean Seollal, which is the Korean / Chinese New Year and all over
this area in Dongbaek things have completely shut down. That is why there is hardly anybody.
Over here is one of our favorite places to eat - it is called the noodle tree - and it
is a chain restaurant. You can find all kinds of different noodles both hot and cold. Over
here is a place I need to avoid these days because I am on a diet - it is called the
Waffle Bandt. They have ice cream and delicious waffles. They have the best blueberry waffles.
I don't want to go there.
Normally pizza in Korea is very expensive but over here at Pizza School you can get
a pizza for five or six thousand Won which is about five US dollars and that is enough
to feed two people. We go there often. Or one hungry guy named Sam. Which one are you
trying to win? I want Winnie The Pooh. They have all these kind of Teddy Bear vending
machines all over Korea. You put in some money but chances are you won't win anything.
Here we are at Dongbaek Yeok (or Dongbaek station). This is where the subway runs. Unfortunately,
it has been abandoned for the past year but I hear it is about to start operating next
month after I leave Korea. Just in time!
Getting some much needed exercise. This is the lake by E-Mart and the complex. As you
can see right now it is frozen over because it is winter time but in the summer it is
a really nice place to hang out to come and play badminton. They also have performances
and concerts. This is where it happens. This is going to be where I will be going jogging
every day. Oh, yeah!
Considering how cold it is I can't believe you can actually see ducks in the water here.
They are swimming around where there are areas of patches of ice surrounding all around them.
Wow! Brave ducks.
Professional hockey player. One of the things in Korea is that they don't always salt the
ground, so you can get these massive ice patches like this where you are just slipping and
sliding.
