Final Packing.
The packing is finally coming to an end and for those of you who are wondering why it is taking me forever to finish. These photos will help you understand what I have to go through, my kids climbing inside the boxes, unpacking boxes.
I keep chasing them round the house to collect whatever they have removed from the boxes.They throw in some of their toys as their own way of helping out.
Another major challenge was choosing what to carry with me and what to send through cargo. I don’t like making choices especially when it comes to clothing, shoes, and jewelleries. I wish that I could carry everything with me but how can even think of carry so much in a journey through different continents. Our travels: from South Korea (Asia) to London (Europe) via New York (North America) then to Toronto (North America) back to New York to London before heading to Nigeria (Africa).I have to drop these stuffs and I was sad but on a second thought that will be a good reason to go shopping.
Do you think am vain for having an emotional attachment to material things? the most painful being my box of perfumes, why do I keep buying perfumes? Okay I just packed them away.I went shopping today and was looking for what to spend my money on very strange indeed. When I finally found a gold pendant that I like I couldn’t buy it because I forgot my alien card at home and there was no way a South Korean shop can charge my AMEX card for any good worth more than $500 without a picture identity card, my student id card didn’t have my passport attached then I searched for my press card at lest that one has my passport photo but guess what for the first time it wasn’t in my wallet. I was saved from an impulsive buying by nothing having any id card with me.I had a very strange conversation the other day when I went for lunch this lady told me that I should not pack my money in my check in luggage at the airport, I asked her who does such and how much money can one have that you can’t get a travellers check if you don’t have an account in the country you are visiting. I later found out that she was looking for an avenue to brag about how much money her husband gives her. Good for her but I don’t discuss such topics but I will gladly listen if you want to supply me such information.At least my best friend and I always have a good laugh each time we remembers this timeless advice.
I am excited about the New York trip because I will go to Manhattan for a shop till I drop adventure. Honestly that is not the only reason why I have been so happy lately. My best friend thinks that my happiness has something to do with money. Can money make one extremely happy? Sometimes I wonder why couples fight and argue because of money. The lack of communication and understanding in a relationship can to turn this to an issue
Do you get attached to your possessions?
