Changing your Google Play store country

I bought myself first android phone in Korea.. So the Google Play store on me phone was the Korean version. I bought a local phone finally.. And since I still use me old Gmail email address.. Google decided that I therefore must still be in Korea .. And the app store reverted back to the Korean one.

It should be easy to change this right? Ha.. You can log into Google Wallet.. And change your address there. But it doesn't help. You can even change your credit card details... It didn't help in may case. I cleared the cache etc etc... The Korean version doesn't want to go away.

In may case the only thing that worked was the purchase an app. What you do is.. Your change your address on Wallet to the Turkish one. Then I used me old South African card and registered it under billing. Google seems unable to detect that the card is not a local one. I then purchased a game from me childhood.. Worms Armagedon 2.. And after I installed it... The Google Store app asked me to agree to new terms and agreements.. And the app changed to the Turkish version.

Pain in the bum.. No?
