Sending a suitcase from Korea to Canada

As you know, dear blog readers, my time in Korea is coming to an end. Feels unreal how quickly 2 years has flown by. I can't imagine not having come to Korea and lived abroad. It's been the absolute best.

However, moving always sucks. Because I plan to visit Borneo before heading home, I don't want to be lugging around luggage full of winter sweaters and student letters.(ok that was a super cool sentence wasn't it?) I heard we weren't allowed to ship our suitcases home, so I asked my coteacher to call and ask the post office. They assured her that if my suitcase was under 20kg and under 1m tall, it would be no problem. No one else I know had ever shipped home a suitcase, so I pakced it up and crossed my fingers. After a very sweaty walk to the post office (luckily my very fit friend carried it down the stairs for me) I was quickly told that suitcases could not be shipped, and my belongings needed to be in a box. So I called my coteacher, and handed the phone to the young post office worker. I don't know what magic occurred, but next thing I know my suitcase is being wrapped up into a beautiful postal present. I hope you look forward to receiving this ornate package mom and dad! Please have Charles lift it, it's insanely heavy. (19kg to be exact). I honestly don't know how I'd survive without Ashley's help!! For anyone in the internet who is looking to ship something similar, 20kg cost 55,000W for surface shipping (1-3 months delivery time).



Also here's a cute car. 




Also here's a cicada! It was dead, but it's feel were still functional and it grabbed hold of my string and walked home with me!
