I opened this from a fortune cookie after picking up some Chinese on my way home from getting my VISA approved. It was a pretty crazy find especially because the VISA approval actually meant that my ticket to freedom was at hand! Another intense pre-trip find was that Korean money, won, only goes up to 10,000. A 10k bill is equivalent to about 9 dollars and the stacks get high pretty quickly. I may even get my month's salary in won which would be serious bling! Not so sure I would like to be carrying all that to the bank. 
The denominations are 1000, 5000 and 10,000. It's pretty money too! There are a bunch of coins as well but I haven't gotten any change yet. So I'll post that later. There won't be many pictures at the beginning, I am going to buy a camera in Korea first! So you''l have to depend on my surly descriptions for the time being. Finally my epic pack. I am allowed two 50lbs suitcases, a carry-on and my purse. I am about 12 lbs over on the suitcases but as I said before it will only cost me $60 dollars to bring extra and maybe if they're nice they'll have pity on me and wave the fee. 
This should be awesome fun to drag around in the airport! I am getting super excited and packing with mom sealed the deal. Everything is good to go. Liquids sealed away, breakables wrapped up and a year's supply of my life lovingly put away until I get to my very own apartment! Lots more to share when I settle in. Again thank you all for your love and support it means so much!
Peace, Love & Harmony
