So! As you may have heard, Adan and I are moving to Hong Kong for six months. We're trying to figure out what we're doing with all our stuff, since we're subletting our apartment to a friend while we're gone. Having researched packing, moving, and storage costs, we've come to realize that it would be more cost effective to sell or give away our big items, and replace them when we return, than it would be to have them moved into storage. (Hooray for Ikea furniture - so cheap, it's almost disposable).

We're going to try to sell a number of items on craigslist, but, as is my wont, I'm posting them here first, in case any of youse folks want them.

One 13-inch tv ($10)


One 13-inch tv/vcr combo ($10)


One full-sized bed frame ($60 - we can throw in the mattress for free if you want, but I'm not going to lie to you - it's pretty beat up.)


Seven Ikea Billy bookcases, dark grey or black. W 31" H 80" D 11". ($20 each)


One Ikea Billy bookcase, silver. W 24" H 80" D 11". ($15)

One Ikea Billy bookcase, silver. W 24" H 42" D 11". ($10)

I also gave all my stuff away when I moved to HK. It's much easier to give it away than throw it away.

Anyway, good luck!

We are going to be in Singapore for three weeks (as they sort out my work visa in HK) starting September 17, then in Hong Kong until the end of March 2008, after which we're headed back to New York for weddingness!

And yes, of course you can come visit! I don't know what my apartment's like yet, since I think they're still looking into it, but we should probably have a sofa of some sort...

Can Ryan and I come visit, too? We're thinking February 2008 or so (trying NOT to come during the biggest Lunar New Year party, tho.) We're cool with getting a hotel and stuff, but it'd be awesome to have a local show us around!

Dude, everyone is welcome to come visit, and you and Ryan are EXTRA welcome! Think about when you want to make your trip, so we can be sure to stay in town during that time :) Good thing you're not thinking of coming during Chinese New Year, as we will likely be in Singapore for a few days then.

Also, it's extra ironic that you're coming to visit us in HK instead of going to Australia this year, because Suyin (Ms. iloveratties from above) lives in Sydney.

Hee hee!

The books are getting boxed and stored :) As are our DVDs, board games, bed linens, and extra clothing.

We would probably be interested in some bookcases. I might be able to use two of the full-height ones at home, and possibly several of the others at work. How soon will you be packing this stuff up? It's awfully early to pack up all your books!

Dude, we're getting on a plane next Friday night! Also, Adan and I are having a farewell party tomorrow (Sunday) evening (from 4 PM on), and you and Stella bella should come if you can :)

You're welcome to as many of the bookcases as you'd like, just let me know so I can put them aside for you. You'd need to pick them up some time during tomorrow or Monday-Thursday, though...

Ooops. I read "for six months" as "in six months." Heh. I can probably fit two disassembled ones in my car. I'll have to check to see they want to buy bookcases right now for work - there may be arranging for a van in our future...
