ivebeen in gwangju teaching , bring deodorant its dear here, mostly sold in body shop , regarding clothes the weathers been unpredictable , id bring as much as pos, but theres still quite reasonably priced clothes here, , erm ive not had any other issues generally, just realise its still been cold ,
Advice Bri, I have been living in Kunsan for 9 months, I have been in Korea for 1 year and 5 months. I have not found any deoderant in the local stores, but things like tooth past and other things are kinda cheep. Clothing, well that is an other thing, remember almost 90% of Koreans are short and thin, I have trouble buying any type of clothes. But all-in-all I think you will adapt if you are flexible. Hope you enjoy your stay.

My life for the past four years has been dedicated to teaching and traveling.

Then I went to Gwangju, South Korea for a year and taught a hagwon. The whole year there was eye-opening and spectacular and made me want to travel even more. I came back to the states and moved to South Lake Tahoe, CA, where I enjoyed teaching 7/8 grade, skiing, and enjoying the pleasures of the lake. Now I'm living in Spokane, WA, but will be leaving to Manizales, Colombi... full info
