Moving Day - Korean Style

It should come as no surprise that life in Korea is a little different than life in the US. We know this and accepted it long before our passports were stamped. However, the way they do moving day was a sight to see.

As any other household goods delivery goes, the truck rolls up with a couple of workers ready to go. There is also a point person who works with you on the paperwork, keeping numbers straight and noting any damages done to the crates, boxes, or furniture. So, how do they get everything up to the apartment. One would assume via elevator right..... If that's what you thought, you are dead WRONG!

So, for your viewing pleasure, here is move-in Korea style:

Now remember, we live on the 11th floor. They used a lift and taped the top of the lift to our rail. Then they zoomed boxes, furniture and everything else up and down the lift. Pretty amazing sight to see, especially when another worker magically appeared in our apartment. We figured out that he had "ridden" up with our boxes.
