What should I pack when moving to Gyeongju?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Gyeongju, it's important 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 Gyeongju receives a significant amount of rainfall, especially during the monsoon season in late summer. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as Gyeongju is a city rich in history and culture with many sites to explore on foot. Pack your personal toiletries, although most items can be easily purchased 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. While Korea has a good healthcare system, having your prescriptions will make it easier to get the medication you need. Pack a universal power adapter for your electronic devices, as the power outlets in Korea may be different from those in your home country. Bring some local currency (Korean Won) for immediate expenses upon arrival. Pack important documents such as your passport, visa documents, driver's license, and any other identification you might need. If you're planning to cook, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or food items that might be hard to find in Korea. Lastly, bring some items from home to make your new place feel more comfortable and familiar. This could be photos, a favorite blanket, or anything else that brings you comfort," wrote a member who made the move to Gyeongju, Korea.
