What exactly is 600 lbs?

When you move to Korea you get the choice, 600 lbs or 1300 lbs (for an O-3 anyway). 600 lbs supposedly is shipped via air and gets there in 30-45 days. 1300 lbs gets shipped via sea and takes longer. Its only a year right, so why not just go for the 600 lbs? But what is 600 lbs in material goods? That is my dilemma today. What do I really need for a year and how does that fit into the 600 lbs? Clothes of course. Kitchen items, yep (and these probably take up the most weight). Iron, probably since I will have my blues to iron. And then there are the things that will make being away from family and friends easier. Once I get this figured out, I'll take a picture and let you know what approximately 600 lbs is, at least with my stuff.
