We had to do so much for the last month to finally move here to Tokyo. But the busiest and the most rewarding was the week before we left Hawaii. We would like to share some of the highlights! Since we lived in Hawaii for 5 years, we accumulated too much stuff we either could not take or didn't need. Goodness knows we dropped off bags of clothes numerous times at Goodwill but we needed to have a garage sale to get rid of it all and get some cash to help with international moving cost. Our good friends Nick & Lael were generous enough to let us have a joint garage sale at their house. We went through everything we had in the house and priced them so low that no one could resist. Our unwanted items are other people's treasure! On that day, we had about 50 people coming to the sale and buying 90% of all we had. We received $600. In turn, we made some people really happy. And nothing went to landfill. Win-win!
Also, we sold Shawn's BMW and Eri's Mini to two very lucky people who got total deals. Talk about reducing one's carbon foot print. Bye bye cars, hello public transportations!
