When you get the airline ticket, you should check if your seat assignment on the ticket says ok and also make a copy of the ticket just in case.
Money exchange
On departure day, you can exchange money in dollars at the airport.

Preparations

For the class
Prepare several thin English-English, English-Korean, and Korean-English dictionaries. If you have empty tapes and a walkman for your English practice or to record a class, it's a very good idea too. Some pens and notebooks and your own grammar books and English books are also necessary.
And don't forget to take a backpack for the books in CPILS and for activities or picnics in CPILS. (Laptop computer is also a good idea if you have one).
Other optional preparation
Alarm clock, wrist watch, light weight sports or fun equipment, medicine, (headache pills, cold and flu medicine, ointment, and more) pictures of family and friends are some of necessaries. Hair dryer is an option since it's always not in the Philippines. Cellular phone can be rented in CPILS.
