You might have a shell out a bit more for internet and telephone, roughly around 30k to 40k Won per month.

Another option is to get into Indian Guest House (IGH) in Suwon. There are few IGHs near Samsung Mobile HQ in Suwon, mainly around the Maetan Dong area. These IGHs are maintained by people from Nepal. You’ll be provided with a flat that has a bed, AC, TV, PC with internet, telephone, wardrobe, and washing machine. The IGH workers clean the flat everyday and take out the trash. They even do your laundry.

The best part of staying in an IGH is that you need not bother about preparing your food. They provide cornflakes, bread and jam for breakfast. Lunch and dinner usually consist of chapathi with curry, rice, sambar, rasam and curd.
