gear in South Korea

[conductingchaos]

Anyone familiar with the republic of South Korea, their border customs and cycling gear there? Going to be moving there. The government will be moving my household goods OCONUS. Really not sure how thorough of an inspection I can expect all of that to go through or if it would be wise to have gear and brewing accessories brought over there with me. Anyone received packages there before? I can't really ask people from work these kinds of questions because the people I know that have been there aren't into AAS.

I've been there twice for vacation and have a couple of friends who live there. i would NOT risk it as laws on drugs are very strict. One of my buddies got caught with a joint and ended up spending 10 days in jail! I'd imagine smuggling would get you a much harsher penalty. I'd just join a local gym and befriend a juiced up local to see if you can get a hook up. Good luck!

I'll be there under a SOFA Stamp for official government travel so typically any legal troubles will have jurisdiction given to the US from the host nation so I'm not worried about getting thrown in jail, there could be plenty harsh penalties though. From my understanding, their pharmacies carry a lot of things OTC that aren't available in America so pharmacies are off limits establishments for US personnel. My reason for wanting to bring it is solely because I have what I need and I don't want to reaqcuire it for my 2 years there. I guess there's really no easy answer to this. I just can't imagine they're going to go through all of my shit when it arrives. I can try to ask at a brief by saying my wife is concerned about people digging through her panties but ya know maybe it's just like x-ray and spot check for anything suspicious.

Hmm maybe some stealth sachets stashed in your wife's panty box might be a good way to go.
