Comments on: Preparing for the China move http://www.computernewbie.info/wheatdogg/2008/08/06/preparing-for-the-china-move/ Ramblings by a former physics teacher teaching EFL in Jishou, China Fri, 27 Jan 2012 08:32:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: PK http://www.computernewbie.info/wheatdogg/2008/08/06/preparing-for-the-china-move/#comment-46456 PK Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:34:26 +0000 http://www.computernewbie.info/wheatdogg/?p=422#comment-46456 Hey, John, You have my sympathies. Great post. As someone who himself has lived overseas (and shipped books back and forth), I particularly can emphathize. I used to refer to books as "paperweighting you to the planet." But I too am a packrat and can't get rid of them. It's too painful. It's like they're a tangible manifestation of what I got out of them. And I do refer back to them. Right now, all my books have been in storage for almost 9 months (we're trying to sell our house, in the worst down market in decades), and I feel like an amputee looking for his now-gone leg... Good luck. Regards, PK Hey, John,
