I second the stickers... ones that you cant get here like popular animations in America or english saying like 'way to go' or 'awesome'...

Also, American pencils that actually have the eraser on top. They can get the plain yellow ones here but ones with characters on them I cant find. My superman ones were a hit... spongebob is popular here. Im not sure about other western cartoons.

If you're not moving to Seoul or Busan I'd hit a good dollar store before you leave and pick up a couple search-a-word books, maybe a colouring book (if you're teaching little ones), and some small stickers and trinkets to have on hand as prizes (I brought a couple pkgs. of mini-erasers and a few sheets of stickers and they're a big hit). But definitely choose wisely and limit yourself for the sake of space. It's surprising how far just a couple books and a package of stickers can go!

For the kids: Pencils with flags of your country on them...they love them.
Stickers, post cards, maps.

For yourself: xanax, valuim, qualudes and anything else you might need to get yourself through the year(just kidding Laughing )
