Hi Hi!!! So Im gonna be attending KU in the fall and Im super excited (and a little nervous but yeah haha) and I was just wondering where you go to get any toiletries/ basic everyday stuff when you run out of it? Is there a grocery store kinda thing or anything similar and do you know the address/ general how to get there?? I'm compiling a master directions list but I have no idea on this one ^^; and thanks so much for all you do for all of us askers/ potential students!!! <3
So. If you live in Anam Global or CJ International House there is a GS 24 connivence store really close.From CJ, it is right down the hill. From Anam Global, you exit the dorm…turn right and go down the hill a bit and BOOM there it is.No need to make the same mistake I did. I got off the plane, got to the dorm-realized they dont stock toilet paper…was told to go to the gs down the hill and went down the WRONG hill running (the plane trip destroyed me, I will say no more-just dont take American Airlines) for five minutes and…just…no. Bad memories.Yeah-GS is a 30 second-1 minute stroll.You can get ALMOST everything you need. At least everything important. Toilet paper, microwave dinners (my favorite OMG i cant tell you how much I love them), snacks, ramen, ice cream and so on.As for grocery story. you can go two stops on the subway Line 6 to Wolgok and Home Plus is actually in the subway station but goes up a few stories. Just find the exit that says home plus and you are there. It’s like Walmart…just nicer lol. BRING BAGS WITH YOU.Give me a few days, maybe I’ll make a quick video just so you can see how to get to GS (The Newbie Who Needs Toilet Paper Immediately Video Tour) lol.And no problem. I know I wish I could have had this info when I came so I like knowing that I can inform people and help them feel comfortable before they get here.I know I was very nervous when I first arrived and after a week of stumbling around and realizing “Geeze, everything was right here the whole time” I was very angry with myself though I knew deep down there was no way I could have known ahha.GOOD LUCK! And if you have any other questions please drop them by. I’m sorry I don’t update as much because I’m so busy taking in my last semester through my own eyes instead of a camera, but I’m always happy to answer questions.
