In this travel video we show you Audrey Bergner's Korean neighborhood of Dongbaek located in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (용인 -- 동백) as we tour around some of our favorite areas. We take you on a tour of some of our favorite Korean restaurants, Korean bars and Korean coffee houses. Some of the top places to eat in the area include Han's Deli, a Shabu Shabu joint and our favorite cheap Korean gimbap restaurant. Afterwards, we explore a nearby park where I take the time to go jogging (running) around the lake. Considering how much food I ate while visiting my family back home in Canada compounded by Korean New feasts, I certainly needed the exercise trying to bust my blogger belly. At this park we notice that certain sections of the pond are frozen where the ducks are still swimming and searching for food. Although wildlife spottings are rare in Audrey's neighborhood, around E-Mart you can often see birds in and around the pond. Along the sidewalks it is covered in ice and snow and is quite treacherous to walk around. Both of us have fallen to the ground hard during these winter months. It's also quite common to see a pedestrian take a tumble scurrying to and from work. This is a very typical Korean cold day during winter. We've decided to embrace the weather as much as we can going for short walks and playing in the snow; however, I certainly enjoy it more than Audrey who is not a fan of subzero temperatures. The streets are quite bare because it is Seollal (Korean Lunar New Year). rendering this normally bustling area into a near ghost town: http://nomadicsamuel.com/video-blog/wandering-around-dongbaek-yongin 우리가 좋아하는 몇 가지 영역 주위에 우리가 투어로 -이 여행 비디오에서 우리는 당신에게 용인, 경기도, 한국 (동백 용인)에있는 동백의 오드리 버그 너의 한국 지역을 보여줍니다. 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!
