What should I pack when moving to Gwangju?
We asked people living in Gwangju to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Gwangju, it's important to pack clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the city experiences a hot summer and a cold winter. Lightweight clothing is recommended for the summer months, while warm clothing, including a heavy coat, gloves, and scarves, is necessary for the winter. It's also advisable to pack a good pair of walking shoes, as Gwangju is a city best explored on foot. Rain gear, such as a waterproof jacket and umbrella, is also essential as the city experiences a monsoon season. In terms of electronics, don't forget to pack a universal power adapter, as the plug type in Korea may be different from your home country. If you plan on using your phone, make sure it's unlocked so you can use a Korean SIM card. Pack any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of your prescription. While Korea has excellent healthcare, it's always best to have your necessary medications on hand. If you're a fan of specific toiletries or cosmetics, consider packing them as well, as certain brands may not be available in Korea. Lastly, don't forget important documents such as your passport, visa, and any necessary work or study documents. It's also a good idea to have a few passport-sized photos on hand, as they may be required for various forms of identification," commented one expat who made the move to Gwangju, Korea.
