I just received a contract from my recruiter. I'm suppose to sign this and send all my necessary documents to them in Korea... right? Is USPS fine with international mail?

I think it's DHL or FedEx, but I hope you did your research before signing the contract and sending your docs.

Don't forget to bring Vaseline. The winters are pretty dry here and can in turn make your skin (especiall your hands) dry and crack.

USPS is fine. IF you want a bit more security, use the EMS/priority post service offered by the post office. You DON'T need to spend the bucks for DHL or FEDEX. They are NO faster.

Be CAREFUL with your contract. READ IT OVER carefully.
The devil is in the details. You MAY want to cruise through the contract sticky thread just to have an idea of what to look for in YOUR contract BEFORE you commit to a year in hakwon hell.
