Yamato (Black Cat) Movers

Mr. Yamada from Yamato Shipping came by this morning with Omi-san of KIT. We had an appointment to get an estimate from Yamato for all the stuff we want to take back with us. The pile of stuff measures about 1.6 x 1.5 x 1 square meters.

It's mostly clothes, books, electronics with a few larger things like my snowboard and a rack we've been using to cart around my projector.

We've been trying to whittle down all the stuff we're bringing home for obvious reasons. Having finished my contract, I can ship home ¥300,000 worth of stuff to America. Unfortunately, even though Hyunjoo is working under the same contract, we won't get an additional ¥300,000 since she's technically breaking her contract.

We made arrangements to have the stuff sent to Hyunjoo's sister's house in Las Vegas. Sending the stuff to the West coast is cheaper than the East coast so we should be able to bring more with us for the same amount of money.

I figured we'd be a little over the shipping allowance, but as it turns out, we're way under. Omi-san said it was the least amount of stuff she's seen in about the past 10 years! Hyunjoo and I were so relieved to hear that.
