I NEED ADVICE!!

---

I will be leaving to Gwangju, S. Korea around June 12th, and I need advice on what essentials to bring and what I should leave behind. So far, I have gathered that deodorant, toothpaste, and other toiletries are very expensive there, and I should pack a year's supply...true?

I've also been reading a lot of blogs that say the weather is very unstable...one day it's hot, the next day freezing. If I don't pack a lot of clothes, are there places that sell clothes at a decent price, or should I pack as much as possible?

I don't have a lot of family here, so I am pretty much selling most of my things. I can get by with pretty little, but I also don't want to end up paying $20 for a simple product I can get here for $2.

Any help would be appreciated!!

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. John
