pre-departure & important tips
Here is everything that I think is useful for a student studying abroad, both pre-departure and during your stay in Korea.
I packed a giant suitcase and a duffel bag for the semester. I plan on buying certain things when I arrive in Korea. Some of these items aren't really needed if you are staying in a hotel for quarantine. Here's most of my packing list!
Toiletries Toothbrush/toothpaste/floss Rubber bands Band Aids Chapstick Kleenex Masks (don't be like me and pack like 40 BLUE masks.. no one here wears blue masks. They only wear the KN94s) Contacts/solution Glasses Hand Sanitizer Sunscreen Shampoo/conditioner/soap Hand soap Nail clipper Medication (with prescription) Pain killer Allergy medicine Thermometer Anti itch cream (THE BUGS IN KOREA ARE INSANE) Wallet School ID Driver's License Credit/debit cards Vaccination Card Health Insurance Card Cash (won and USD) Folder w/ Important Documents (for easy access @ airport) Covid test result (2 copies) Important information sheet (address of quarantine and host contact info) Passport with visa Any printouts of information your school gave you Electronics (with chargers) Phone iPad Camera (SD card) Earbuds Portable charger (don't put this in your checked bag!) Watch Laptop (USB-C adapter) Ethernet cable Mini Wifi router Hard drive Universal adapters (can be found at Long's - I found mine for $9.99. Pictured below. The outlets in Korea are 220V, so be careful when plugging things in. Read this helpful article!) Clothes Shoes/slippers Winter jacket Shirts/pants Others Snacks (don't forget the Hawaii omiyage to share with friends in Korea!) Emergen-C Water bottle (don't forget to empty it if carrying it on!) Ziplock bags Pens, pencils, scissors Packing bags Plastic bags Plastic containers Purse Backpack Notepad Batteries Umbrella Dish soap and sponge Laundry detergent Towels Toilet paper
