Detailed introduction to preparation for entry into South Korea

When you go to study in Korea, you need to prepare items for living in Korea after entering Korea to familiarize yourself with Korea and integrate into Korean life. So, what do you need to prepare for entry into Korea? Come with me to find out. Detailed introduction to preparations for entry into South Korea

No.1 card application

Although there is free wireless internet everywhere you go in South Korea, you must first get off the plane and settle down. Apply for a phone card. There are communication agencies near major schools that can communicate in Chinese and apply for phone cards, so students who don’t speak Korean don’t have to worry. As long as you walk in confidently and say "I want to apply for a phone card" in Chinese, someone will greet you.

In addition to phone cards, there is also a transportation card. South Korea is a country with extremely developed transportation. You can basically go anywhere you want in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do by taking the subway. So in South Korea, as long as you have a transportation card, you can go anywhere in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province (not in local cities). Moreover, this transportation card can be used on subways and buses, which is very convenient.

Traffic cards can generally be purchased at convenience stores, and they come with various patterns. In some subway stations, there are even machines that can customize patterns. Therefore, on the first day in Korea, it is recommended to buy a transportation card at a convenience store near your residence and top it up with 10,000 won, which will make travel very convenient.

No.2 Daily necessities

In addition to the two necessary card types mentioned above, the second most important thing is the purchase of daily necessities. Here I would like to recommend a Korean thousand-yuan (referring to one thousand Korean won) store. In this store, you can buy any daily necessities you want to buy, including snacks, drinks, fast food, etc., but they mainly focus on household daily necessities. , you can take a bag home with about 30,000 to 40,000 won.

No matter where you live, there will be one near your home or school, which is very convenient.

No. 3 Household Items

Most international students who go to South Korea only bring some commonly used things, and few students bring quilts and pillows. So after buying the necessary items mentioned above, students can go to a quilt store near where they live to buy them.

In Korean quilt shops, especially those around schools, most quilts are sets and do not require quilt covers. They are very thin quilts. If you don't like this, you need to go to the mall to buy it.

No.4 Supermarket

After buying the above supplies, students can go to the supermarket for a walk. After all, everyone needs to buy some food to satisfy their needs. Notice! Especially water! Most people in Korea do not have water purifiers at home, nor are they provided with bottled water. They buy mineral water or purified water from the supermarket to drink. Don’t forget to buy water at the supermarket.

The second time I bought instant noodles was because I was not very accepting of Korean food when I first arrived in Korea, so I always kept instant noodles at home for emergencies.

The third is to buy garbage bags. South Korea is very strict about garbage classification, and fines will be imposed if errors in classification are discovered. So remember to buy general garbage bags and food waste bags to keep at home, and do a good job in sorting your garbage.
