At the end of my contract I am going back to Canada for a month but plan on coming back at the end of August. Is there any place to store your stuff in Seoul for a month or so? If so where? and how much?

I am getting tired of spending 300-400$ on pots, pans, knives, spices, toasters, rice cookers etc....every time I come back to Korea. I would also like to store some of my bedding, fan, towels, shoes, clothes etc...rather than hauling it back and forth to Canada.

Any information would be appreciated

You could always try asking another teacher or student if they could take a box or 2. Wave 50000 Won at someone and i'm sure they'd be happy to.

My last boss called moving companies which have, some of them, storage service but it's not cheap. I went away for three months and paid 200,000 won for them to store 15 boxes and a motorbike.

Wow 200,000 for a couple of months...thats pretty steep. There has to be some kind of storage sheds for rent. All over the place back home, 200$ a year, unheated a bit more for heated.

I thought about asking another teacher for help, but! I am in Taebaek the only other teachers here contract is up two weeks after mine. Dont want to put my stuff in the hands of a stranger..got some other contacts but I dont want to impose on them. I have had other teachers shtuff piled at my apt for 5 months and counting...if its not picked up when I go then I am not responsible for it. Yes the guys still here in Korea but he owes me money so I dont think I will hear from him, kind of stupid about a dozen boxes with all his stuff and he cant be bothered to pick it up.
