I have arrived in Korea!

Well, I am actually here in Korea now. I have no jet lag because of my careful planning in sleep management but I do have a little bit of a headache. Good thing I packed my Tylenol.

Some important things that I’ve packed are:

Original USC degree and copies
Official transcripts
My laptop with 220V socket adapter
Listerine
Deodorants

Official transcripts
Some hagwons ask for official college transcripts so you’ll need to bring them.

Listerine
When you get canker sores from travel fatigue, it is a must. I couldn’t find any place that sells Listerine in Korea. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Deodorants
I hear they sell them in Korea but there’s very limited selection. Bring your own—it gets hot and humid in the summer.
