#1. A travel destination in Daegu(SAMUNJIN FERRY)

Samunjin Quay was a key point of river transportation connecting the Nakdonggang River and Geumhogang River in the early Joseon Dynasty and serving as a gateway to Daegu.
Samunjin Quay was the first place where the piano came into Daegu.

In the early morning of May 1901, a piano was poorly packaged and transferred to Sodalguji by about 30 workers.
People were amazed that there was a dead ghost in the piano, making a strange sound.

The owner of the piano carried to Daegu through the Samunjin Quay was Edith Parker, the wife of Johnson, who founded Dongsan Hospital (currently Keimyung Medical Center).

#4. information on living alone(garbage bag)
How to deal with daily life trash

If you live alone in Korea, You have to buy a garbage bag and put the trash in the designated place.
If you don't use a garbage bag, A fine of up to 1 million won is imposed.

And you have to throw away food waste separately.(Fruit peel. vegetable)

You need to buy a container dedicated to food waste.
The place they sell it : Daebak Mart (Hosan branch) 155 Hosan-dong-ro, Dalseo-gu.

When throwing away food waste, buy a payment certificate and attach it to the container.
After 8 p.m., you should put it in a place where you throw away your own containers in the building.

Payment certificates are sold at the mart.
#5. Let's lower the cell phone bills

How to save your phone bill.

You can use a prepaid phone.
A prepaid phone is to pay a monthly fee first and use it.
Even if you use a prepaid phone, you can authenticate yourself and do banking.
There are various plans, and most people pay 36,300 won per month.
The advantage of this plan is that calls, texts, and data are unlimited.
Korea is a convenient place to use free Wi-Fi.
You don't have to use an expensive plan because you can make calls through Voice Talk.
The same goes for text messages.
This is because means such as Line and Kakao Talk are well developed.

You have to check the cell phone fee you use first.
Therefore, the most reasonable way to pay for the phone in Korea is to pay 30,000 won for the first month and use it for three months.
After that, it is most reasonable to pay 4,950 won per month.
Instead, this plan costs as much as we talked over the phone. It's 1.98 won per second.
It costs 22.5 won per mega of data.
It's deducted from 4,950 won.

Of course, just because you used up 4,950 won doesn't mean you can't use it.
You can use phone and data if you pay extra, but there are many free Wi-Fi.
You have to remember this fact.

If you need any help, please call me
I'll help you study abroad.
