Where to buy cheap groceries near Daegu University

After six months living in Daegu University campus, I think I know some of the cheap places where to go for grocery shopping. So, I have made a list of all the shops, their locations and some tips when to go where.

  1. 편의점 - convenience store
  2. Most of them are open 24/7. You can go there to charge your T-money card. And buy some small snacks. Or whatever you want, but they are more expensive than the other shops on this list.

  3. Supermarkets
  4. Around Daegu University there's more options where to go. If I need just few things I go to Lotte mart near Main gate, because I don't need to take bus (saving 2 500 KRW). This shop is quite close, but there are shops which are cheaper. Nevertheless, in the evening they have usually some food on sale 😁 You can also add their Kakao channel and they will send you the promotions in messages (in the same window where you search for your friends profile you will search for 롯데마켓999대구대점). Other option is this Orange Mart (still not that cheap, I don't really go there these days). 
    I prefer to go to Dream Mart (search for 드림식자재마트 on Kakao, also when buying something on sale, you have to show them the code from Kakao) or Point Mart. They're the cheapest ones. 

  5. Hypermarkets (like Homeplus, Lotte, Costco etc.)
  6. If you want to buy certain things ("foreign" food like quick oatmeal) or big packages on promotions you can go to Costco (but then you need they're membership card which costs like 30 000 KRW for a year - I'm not sure, I go there whith my friend who has the card). Or you can go to Homeplus. These hypermarkets are further - it takes around 40-60 minutes to get there by bus from Daegu University campus.
Also you can try to buy vegetables and fruits at the local markets or from 아줌마 at the streets, because it's cheaper if you buy a lot. And in that case, don't be afraid to bargain. 😏

Finding an apartment in Daejeon

I have many stories about which I want to write here, be patient. 😁 A lot happened during this winter break. I have been hiking and skiing a few times, I met many new and amazing friends, so even though I couldn't go for Christmas to Czech (especially to see my cute niece Zuzka 😔), I am happy here in Daejeon 😊 I don't really have any interesting photos of our apartment, so I'm sharing some photos from hiking with Oketch, which I haven't shared before.😅 Photo was taken by Oketch, autumn 2020, Daedunsan. But a few weeks ago, I have moved from the dormitory to an apartment with my Indonesian friend Ici. So, I think now it's time to tell you how we found our new apartment. As most of the people I know, we were also using 직방 and 다방 (mobile apps where you can easily look for an apartment). We have started to look for an apartment around the middle of December, knowing that we have to move out in the middle of February. We have seen some dirty and old apartments and al

Getting vaccinated in Korea - 잔여백신 macro

As some of you may know, you can get vaccinated with "Remaining vaccine" (잔여백신) and Kakaotalk or Naver can send you a notification to get this free vaccine. I have been getting notifications for the last few weeks, but I didn't succeed to get this free vaccine, probably because I was always too slow to claim it. But we are in Korea, the country of the newest technologies, so obviously someone wrote a macro for this. 😁 And show some love to my friend Mahdi who helped me to debug this code and gave me all the information I needed for writing this article! He also provided the English version of the macro. Basically, you set up your conditions and let the program search for these remaining vaccines and if it finds one, it will automatically register you for it. IMPORTANT: Don't run the program if you don't have time to get vaccinated on the same day! 1. Open Chrome browser. 2.  Log in to your Kakaotalk account.  Stay Logged In should be ticked. 3. You will see a map

Shady bussiness in Daejeon

I hate buying new things. I love repairing stuff, especially electronics or clothes. But I am horrible at repairing electronics, so I always ask my brothers and sister for help which is a little bit more difficult now, since I live in Korea and they live in the Czech Republic. Still, we try. In August this year, my phone's earphone suddenly stopped working properly. I ordered some new parts from Aliexpress and the same week I replaced it (which didn't help, it was probably a software problem) I crashed the display. Like how stupid you have to be, to just put your phone in a bicycle's basket, and then you're very surprised when your phone literally flies away? Well, I am exactly that stupid 😂 So, I ordered a new display from Aliexpress, but it came kind of broken - one chip was not connected and I didn't manage to connect it successfully. I mean, very delicate precise handwork was never my forte. There's a reason why I didn't become a dentist or surgeon, but
