After carefully selecting ( read
hastily throwing together) which items to send to Korea back in January, our 1370 lbs of household goods (clothes, pot and pans, toys, furniture, everything we thought we needed) were delivered on Monday. My first question was how our furniture was going to be delivered to the 13
th floor? It certainly would not fit into the elevator and service elevators don't exist here. I still don't know what they call it but, the SUPER LIFTER is pretty convenient. The SUPER LIFTER is essentially a truck that has a large platform that travels along expendable rails. Our 2 crates worth of possessions were placed on the platform and quickly raised to our apartment. The windows in the living room were opened and our items were passed through the window. The movers were very professional and even took their shoes off inside our apartment.
The entire process, including putting the crib, futon, and kitchen table back together only took two hours. In retrospect, I would have packed different but, there was no way of knowing that we would have had a semi-furnished apartment. I also need to remind myself that we aren't living here forever, just a year. Besides, since we didn't bring that many "things" there isn't that much to unpack. David was overjoyed to have all his toys back especially his tunnel and the remaining complement of his stuffed animals. Who knew a 13 month old had such a good memory?
