The exchange rate was good when I went, and I got more 원 for my dollars. Korean stuff isn't as expensive as American stuff, so it wouldn't be too expensive to just buy essentials there. If you really want to be a minimalist and just buy most of this stuff when you actually get to Korea, that would work too. a big bath towel (Korean towels are tiny for some reason) a raincoat/poncho and a sturdy umbrella (it rains there a lot and unexpectedly) a few pairs of shoes (at least one pair of walking/comfortable shoes, as you will be walking a lot) For anyone planning on going there, I recommend packing the following:
I was a little ambitious and slightly over-packed, but I managed to cover all the bases and didn't forget anything which was great! However, next time I go to Korea, I'll make sure to pack much less. My mom (bless her soul) worked non-stop with me and helped me so much during those first few weeks of summer. Right after I got out of school at the end of May, I got busy buying stuff and brushing up on my Korean skills in preparation for the trip. Hey guys! I finally got around to getting some pictures off my phone to use for this first blog about my actual trip haha.

I also got watch part of a Korean movie called Gangnam Blues I think (starring Lee Minho) but I ended up not finishing it because I was too tired to read subtitles XDĪfter 13 long hours of no sleep (I deliberately stayed up to avoid jet lag) we finally made it to Incheon National Airport in Korea! I'll address our arrival in the next blog, as a lot happened in our first day there. Yep, I hadn't seen it yet, as crazy as that sounds XD I really enjoyed, so much even that I rewatched it on that same flight in German to see how much I could understand haha. I had a chance to watch the new Star Wars movie. Unfortunately, for this flight, I wasn't able to snag a window seat, so I didn't get any more cool pictures - So, to pass the time, I watched a bunch of movies. The flight from Detroit to Incheon, Korea was around 13 hours long. The Detroit airport was not nearly as cool as the one in New York, but there was a pretty cool light rail that a few of us road around on to pass the time during our layover.
