As I sit here writing this I hear the sounds of tape being pulled from the roll, paper crinkling, and boxes being put together.

The movers said they would be here at 9AM.  In true Korean form they were here at 8AM.  A long time ago I read that Koreans normally run up to 15 minutes late, I don't know who wrote that or where I read it, but let me tell you, that has not been my experience AT ALL.   The Korean people on a whole (in my little part of the world anyway) are always 15-45 minutes early.

So far this pack out has been unlike any other pack out I have every experienced, and I have experienced at least a dozen.  This morning my house was invaded.  There was a packer in almost every room.  We had 7, yes, SEVEN people packing this house.  At 10:30AM they took a 3 minute break.  At 11:30 I fed them lunch (they wanted Burger King...REALLY?  I ask- BK?  I wanted Korean).  By 1PM my house was 90% done and they started moving things outside.  It is now 3:30 & they have filled 2 crates...only 5 more to go ~ so they say.  I have no idea how they are going to put the rest of our stuff in only 5 more crates, but Korean's ARE the masters of space manipulation so I am sure they will do it. AND they haven't taken another break since lunch time.

Check this out....they made a desk for me so I could write.  (And by the way, they are all voting for my blog.)

I can't believe how quick they worked! Our packers state side could take lessons!! ;o) That's a riot that you have new fans to your blog.

I know you are just so sad to be leaving but reading your blog today has me so excited about our upcoming move!!! What a relief to know you had a super experience so far.

I have my little list of shopping places you have shown me and I have to target most of them in April. Orlando does not thank you for those by the way! He mentioned something about the bank account but I think he was mumbling so it didn't matter.

You're the best, Trish!

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
