Man, there's a like whole army of Chinese people who patrol Marpole for stuff. I'd bring things out of apartment and place them near the refuse bins, and by the time I came out again, some Chinese person was there examining and taking it. I should have just written "open house" in Cantonese and I'd be done already. It was never the same people twice, either. In the back of my mind, I wonder if these are people who are here illegally, trying to scrape by...or are they from a hard upbringing and used to scavenging or maybe both. It's interesting to think about.
Now I have to unload the Jeep, drive back up and pack some more. Then I have to go back to WA, catch about 2-3 hours sleep and go back and finish closing down the place. I'm looking forward to when I can take a break. After I'm done I still have to pay the dentist and BC Hydro - we're in collections because we forwarded the mail and didn't get it. Wonderful. That's a pisser. So after I get moved out I have to go settle bills. w00t!
