What should I pack when moving to Tongyeong?
We asked people living in Tongyeong to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Tongyeong, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the weather can range from hot and humid summers to cold winters. Include lightweight clothing for the summer months, and warm clothing such as sweaters, jackets, and thermal wear for the winter. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes, as exploring the city on foot is common. Also, consider packing a raincoat or umbrella, as the city experiences rainfall throughout the year. Pack your personal toiletries, although most items can be easily found in local stores. However, if you have specific brands you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them along. Bring any prescription medications you need, along with copies of your prescriptions. It's also advisable to pack a basic first aid kit for minor health issues. If you're planning to cook, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or food items that may not be easily available in Korea. Pack your important documents such as passport, visa, driver's license, and any other identification. Also, bring copies of these documents and keep them separate from the originals. Don't forget your electronics like your phone, laptop, and chargers. An international adapter might also be necessary as Korea uses a different plug type. Lastly, bring some personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books," remarked another expat who made the move to Tongyeong, Korea.
