Perhaps I Should Move to China
It's almost moving day, and I'm too busy scrubbing the tops of cabinets and trying to choke down the last cheap beer (La Crosse Lager) left at one of our parties many moons ago to come up with my own post ideas. Thus, I'm reprinting a comment left by MKM Mover (Hi, MKM Mover!) on one of my previous posts. She added it a bit late, so those of you who are not diligent blog readers may have missed it.
I, by the way, could really use a neighborhood auntie right about now.
***************************
I highly recommend moving in China, for those of you faint of heart movers... Here's the beauty of moving in the Red East:
1) No preparation necessary. The day you move, go down to the street, say aloud you are moving and need grunts, and within 5 minutes, an army of disheveled, obnoxiously smelly men will be lined up, fighting over who gets to haul your belongings down 8 flights of stairs in 110 degree heat.
2) Moving truck. Follow procedure outlined in #1... take cheapest bidder.
3) When done, no need to clean old apartment! Left behind junk is considered standard.
4) When grunts leave your new apartment after hauling crap up 10 flights of stairs in 110 degree heat and being paid about 5 dollars total (for the group)... find a neighborhood aunty to clean new apartment and get rid of grunt smell for about 2 dollars.
5) Voila!!. No U-haul idiots or angry landlords to deal with!! This coming from a girl who once moved 4 times in one year...

I forgot to mention that you can also go down to the street, say you have a bunch of junk, and guys will come PAY YOU to take your trash out! Now, we're usually only talking 25 cents, but come on! Paying YOU to take your trash out?
Communism is great, I tell you! Maybe you should give it a try, but only after the Colorado disaster.
