So, I've been to the pension office, I'm about to go to the tax office, I've got the details of my last day at work and my last paycheck, got my plane ticket... is there anything else that needs doing? Not things like "pack" or "go see Suwon Castle" or whatever, but government/paperwork/money stuff. I'm worried I'll forget something important, as no one has ever actually completed a contract with my school before, and they have less idea of how a foreigner is supposed to leave this country than I do. Thanks!

Mobile phone contract to cancel?

Outstanding credit card bill due after you leave?

Can't think of anything else.

Nope, but that reminds me I've got to cancel my internet. Thanks! It's probably silly, I just don't want to forget something important.
