What should I pack when moving to Yeosu?
We asked people living in Yeosu to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Yeosu, it's important to pack clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the weather can vary greatly throughout the year. This includes 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 Yeosu experiences a monsoon season. Comfortable walking shoes are also a must, as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking or hiking. Pack your essential toiletries, but keep in mind that most items can be easily purchased in Korea. However, if you have specific brands or products you prefer, it's a good idea to bring them with you. Bring any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair and enough supplies, as these can be expensive to replace in Korea. Pack your important documents, such as your passport, visa documents, and any other identification. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents. Bring any electronics you'll need, such as your laptop, phone, and chargers. Remember that Korea uses a different type of plug, so you'll need a power adapter. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to bring some of your favorite spices or ingredients, as some Western food items can be hard to find. Lastly, bring some personal items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos, a favorite blanket, or a beloved book," wrote a member who made the move to Yeosu, Korea.
