>>Yes, snail mail to Eun Joo's mom would be less expensive, but I gather it takes up to six weeks for a personal check from the US to clear a Korean bank. Oddly, according to my neighbor who was CFO of a $900 million Korean company, Korean banks treat cashier's checks the same way they do personal checks. But, according to info I received this AM, a money order from the US Post Office is as good as cash to a Korean bank. Go figure. So, in the interests of making a seasonable contribution, I will plan on the post office route, and hope the information I received was correct.<<
Larry - I would call American Express and see if they can send the $$ electronically to her hometown - she can go to the local office, sign for it, and walk out with cash.
