What should I pack when moving to Mokpo?

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

"When moving to Mokpo, it's essential to pack clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the city experiences a wide range of temperatures 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 Mokpo receives a significant amount of rainfall, especially during the monsoon season in late summer. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as the city is best explored on foot. Pack your essential toiletries, but keep in mind that most items can be easily purchased in local stores. Bring any prescription medications you need, along with copies of your prescriptions. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Mokpo. Remember to bring any necessary electronics, such as your laptop, smartphone, and chargers. An adapter plug for Korean outlets will be necessary to charge your devices. Pack important documents, including your passport, visa, driver's license, and any other identification. If you're moving for work or study, don't forget any necessary paperwork related to your job or school. Lastly, consider packing a few items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos or small mementos," said a member in Mokpo, Korea.
