My partner Saif and I were posted in a small town called Daeso-myun, under the administrative district of Eumseong-gun. The town was relatively small as compared to Seoul, where lots of factories located here and it seemed like the locals also did some agricultural activities such as vegetable farming and growing their rice. It was a bit similar like Tanjung Malim town.
As for the accommodation, we were lucky to be given a two-room apartment for our three months stay in South Korea. The house was not that big and not too small. Perhaps around 800+ square feet. More than enough for me. The owner provided two beds, a refrigerator, and a washing machine. While the other appliances such as rice cooker, iron, and kitchen utensils had been prepared by our mentor in prior.
Our mentor, Min was very helpful. He brought us around the town, showing the bus station, supermarket and even brought us to the phone shop to purchase a sim card. He also brought us shopping for some household items and groceries.
At night we went to the Halal restaurant located in the town. Approximately about 10 minutes of walking. The restaurant's owner was an Uzbekistan, so the food sold are traditional Uzbek meals. I had my roasted chicken for my dinner at the shop. A week without being able to eat any chicken had finally paid-off.
