These are all the boxes of clothes, books, CD, DVDs, etc to be shipped off to Japan via sea freight on Tuesday (28/10/2008) morning. In the afternoon of that day the truck came around and picked them up. All we have left to pack now is two small (although they are called Jumbo size!) airfreight boxes, Ritsuko's computer, and then our suitcases. There are a few more bits of furniture to be picked up, then that's it we're are done.
Today (31/10/2008) is the last day we have an internet connection to our house, so unless I can get a password for one of my neighbour's wireless internet connections or take my laptop down to a Cafe with WiFi, you probably won't be seeing much more from me until I get to Japan. We depart Perth at 5:30pm on the 7th of November on Malaysia Airlines, transiting in Kuala Lumpur for 2 hours before arriving at Kansai Airport at 7:30am the following morning (note Perth and Japan are currently both on GMT+9, due to horrible daylight savings in Perth!).
I have plenty more planned for my site, so once I'm settled in Japan I'll start posting...
