Moving my stuff...

The relocation company sent an agent to my apartment in Los Feliz to take an inventory of what I want them to move for me to HK. There's not much really, only a sofabed, coffee table, dishes, glasses, computer stuff, luggage, books, CDs, clothes, shoes.... damn, there's actually quite a good amount of stuff now that I think about it... LOL Well then, I guess it's good that the company's paying for the shipment!! =) But how do I bring it back? grrr

One funny thing the agent said was "are you going to make a costco run?"
There I was scratching my head and can't figure out why she'd ask that question since I'm trying not to accumulate more stuff, right?

She goes on to explain they're relocated some folks from Disney and they always make a costco run to buy stuff like detergent and soap and such, since those things are expensive in HK... there I stood still scratching my head... "um, ok..." I didn't believe that, so I kindly said "hmm, I'll have to take that into consideration".

Later that day I talked to my mom and a friend in HK about it, they both said that stuff is really cheap in Asia, shouldn't have to do a costco run and bring those heavy items over... so I just chalked that up as "wtf are those people thinking?"

Earlier today I found out from the moving company that they're going to provide me with 2 crates for the move, each measuring 7 feet by 7 feet, and 3.5 feet high. So one crate can carry my sofa and coffee table, and miscellaneous stuff. The other can carry anything else, perhaps even a bed if I want to bring one over, which I don't think I am since that means I gotta go out and buy one... and HK friend says beds may even be cheaper there since everything is made in China anyways, and everyone provides free delivery.

Ahh, now to the decision on what are all the things I wanna take with me... OH yeah! My snowboard!
