Small things that helped me with homesickness after moving away

I moved to Seoul for uni two years ago, far from my family in Busan, and the first autumn was really hard, especially around Chuseok. Some things that helped:

Finding one restaurant that makes food like home. Calling family at the same time every week so it becomes a routine. Saying yes to invitations even when I wanted to stay in. And making friends with other people far from home, they understand without explaining.
