 too late, but for others
as to money, I suggest at least a USD1,000 to hold you over to your first paycheque. Most Koreans dislike giving an advance. And you may wish to buy some things right away. Some schools will provide kitchen/bedroom/entertainment items but unless is it in the contract.............Even then, there can be a significant delay in getting them.
If you are fussy on H&B items, I suggest bring those items you can not get along with. Local products and imports are reasonable in scope, though imported items are expensive.
If you are large in the clothing department you may find it difficult to find clothes/shoes/etc.
Laptops are expensive here. Often the same is true for electronics - because of the high tariffs, locally made items are artifically priced high. |
