Your Daejeon Travel Guide...

I found a nice ebook you can look through.

Also, here's a bus map.

Find the National Government Complex near the center. I live in Sinseong-dong (pronounced Shinsong) half-way to the map edge at about 11 o'clock from the National Government Complex. I take the 185 bus east to the T intersection. Everlove Church is just south of that stop. If I continue south, I can go to the Movies, EMart or the Galleria which is on the curve just south of the National Government Complex.

There is a single Subway line (in red) that goes from the Government Complex to the south and east. You can see it better on page 2 of the map. Find Daejeon Station. That's where the KTX (high speed train) leaves for Seoul. Only 40 minutes and I can be in Gwangmyeong-si where Calvary Church is. There are 45 KTX trains per day, and it only costs 19,600 won which at the moment is less than $14.

I don't have to go far for the comforts of home. There are Dunkin Donuts EVERYWHERE. There is even one right across the street behind my building. (At least I have to walk to it.)

Check out Google Earth latitude/longitude coordinates:

36° 21’ 41.35” N 127° 23’ 02.50” E

That's the National Gov't Center.

Jeff - What are the coordinates of your apartment?

So do the donuts compare to the ones at home? How about to Krispy Kreme?

Haven't been to Krispy Kreme yet. But I will make it a priority.
