What should I pack when moving to Busan?
We asked people living in Busan to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Busan, it's important to pack clothing suitable for all four seasons, as the city experiences a hot summer and a cold winter. Lightweight clothing for the summer months and heavier, warmer clothing for the winter months are essential. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as Busan experiences a monsoon season. Comfortable walking shoes are also a must, as the city is known for its hilly terrain and you'll likely be doing a lot of walking. Pack your essential toiletries, but keep in mind that Korea has excellent skincare and beauty products. If you have specific brands or products you can't live without, make sure to bring them along. Bring any necessary prescription medications and a copy of your prescription. While Korea has a good healthcare system, it may be difficult to find specific medications. Pack a universal power adapter for your electronics. South Korea uses a different plug type and voltage than many other countries. Bring copies of important documents, such as your passport, visa documents, and any other identification. It's also a good idea to have digital copies stored somewhere safe. If you're planning on cooking at home, you might want to pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items. While you'll find most things in Korea, some specific items might be hard to come by or more expensive. Lastly, pack some items that remind you of home. Photos, favorite books, or small mementos can help make your new place feel more comfortable and familiar," explained one expat living in Busan, Korea.
