"When moving to Pyeongtaek, it's important to pack clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the weather can vary greatly throughout the year. This includes warm clothing for the cold winters, as well as lighter clothing for the hot and humid summers. You should also pack a good pair of walking shoes, as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking or public transportation. Don't forget to bring any necessary prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to bring a universal power adapter for your electronics, as the outlets in Korea may be different from those in your home country. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or ingredients that might be hard to find in Korea. You should also bring important documents such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary work or school documents. Lastly, consider packing some comfort items from home, such as photos or favorite snacks, to help you adjust to your new surroundings. Remember, it's always better to under-pack and buy what you need once you arrive, rather than over-packing and having to lug around heavy suitcases," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Pyeongtaek, Korea.
