What should I pack when moving to Yongin?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Yongin to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Yongin, it's essential to pack clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the city experiences a wide range of temperatures throughout the year. You should include lightweight clothing for the hot and humid summers, as well as warm clothing for the cold winters. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as the monsoon season can bring heavy rainfall. Pack enough toiletries to last for the first few weeks, including any specific brands you prefer, as they may not be readily available in Korea. The same goes for any prescription medications you take, ensure you have enough to last until you can arrange a local supply. Bring a good pair of comfortable walking shoes, as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking. Also, consider packing a pair of indoor slippers, as it's customary in Korea to remove your shoes when entering a home. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or food items that might be hard to find in Korea. However, keep in mind that Korea has strict customs regulations, so check beforehand to see what food items are allowed. Pack a universal power adapter, as the plug type in Korea might be different from your home country. Also, consider bringing a portable charger for your electronic devices. Bring copies of important documents, such as your passport, visa, and any necessary medical records. It's also a good idea to have a few passport-sized photos on hand, as they're often required for various forms and applications in Korea. Lastly, consider packing a few items from home to make your new place feel more comfortable and familiar. This could be anything from photos of loved ones to your favorite blanket or pillow," explained one expat living in Yongin, Korea.
