Korean Job Discussion Forums

[tired of LA]

I just signed my contract and will be coming to Korea soon, as long as the visa processing doesn't take too long. I have just started thinking of what to pack and was wondering about some items. I've read on the forums to bring western style sheets, big towels and condoms because they are hard to find. At least these were the items that I am concerned about. But the posts were really old, so I was wondering if it is still hard to find these items, thanks. Oh, I will be in Busan.

Yes, summer camp here doesn't provide the above mentioned. And make sure your mother writes your name on all the labels of your clothing, because otherwise the other campers will steal everything.

But, you did get good advice about the condoms.

I would add pasta sauce mix packets. It seems every pasta dish at a restaurant has clams and octopii in it. Red sauces in the jar are easy to find at the grocery store. But if you want a good alfredo or pesto sauce, you'll have to do it yourself.
