What should I pack when moving to Daejeon?
We asked people living in Daejeon to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Daejeon, it's important to pack clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the city experiences a wide range of temperatures throughout the year. This includes warm clothing for the winter months, such as heavy coats, scarves, gloves, and hats, as well as lighter clothing for the summer, like shorts, t-shirts, and sandals. You should also pack a good pair of walking shoes, as Daejeon is a walkable city with many pedestrian-friendly areas. Don't forget to bring any necessary prescription medications, along with a copy of your prescription. It may also be helpful to bring a basic first aid kit for minor injuries or illnesses. If you're planning on cooking at home, you might want to pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Korea. Remember to pack all necessary electronics, such as your laptop, phone, and chargers. An international power adapter is also a must, as the plugs in Korea are different from those in many other countries. Bring personal hygiene products, especially if you have specific brands that you prefer, as they may not be available in Korea. Lastly, pack important documents like your passport, visa, driver's license, and any other identification you might need. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents, just in case. Remember, it's always better to over-pack than to realize you've forgotten something important once you've arrived in your new home," commented one expat who made the move to Daejeon, Korea.
