"hikkoshi"

Yikes!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow is my hikkoshi, or moving, day. What a big ball of stress, especially since this whole week I have orientation for my upcoming job on PEACEBOAT and very little time to do any packing. I have thankfully sold ALMOST all of my furniture, with the fridge and chair going tonight after I get home from a goodbye party at 12:30 am. All the stuff I couldn't sell will be taken tomorrow by an organization that helps out foreign students in Japan like myself. This is a good thing, because otherwise I would need to pay money to a recycle shop to pickup unwanted goods.
This hikkoshi has made me realize how much junk I have accumulated over the past six years here in Japan. I am chucking tons to the curb, but still have a few packed boxes that I will need to send to the States. This is another problem, seeing that a box weighing around 20 kilos will cost $120 dollars to ship sea mail.


$120 x a few boxes = cheap last weekend in Japan for Meribon. screw!
