Where should I setup a bank account in Daegu?
We asked expats in Daegu what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...
"Expats considering retirement in Daegu should be aware that the cost of living is relatively low compared to other major cities in Korea, but still higher than in many Western countries. They should also know that the healthcare system in Korea is excellent and affordable, with many doctors speaking English. Expats should be prepared for the language barrier, as not everyone in Daegu speaks English. Learning basic Korean phrases can be very helpful. Daegu has a subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers and cold winters. Expats from warmer climates may need time to adjust to the winter temperatures. Korean cuisine is a major part of the culture and is very different from Western food. Expats should be open to trying new foods, but should also be aware that vegetarian and vegan options may be limited. Public transportation in Daegu is efficient and affordable, with a comprehensive subway system and numerous bus routes. However, driving can be challenging due to the heavy traffic and different driving rules. Expats should also be aware that South Korea has strict laws and penalties for drug use. Even prescription medications from other countries can be considered illegal drugs in Korea, so it's important to check before bringing any medications into the country. Finally, expats should understand that Korean culture places a high value on respect for elders, so it's important to be aware of social norms and etiquette," commented one expat who made the move to Daegu, Korea.
