Moving Day

Here's something you don't see in America! It's a giant retractable arm used for moving people in and out of their apartments. A few months ago this was parked out in front of our building. Some new neighbors were moving into the apartment directly below ours. We kept hearing funny noises all morning and were quite surprised when we looked out the window!

Basically they load all their belongings from the moving truck onto the little platform and then hoist it up to the right floor. It's all unloaded through the sliding balcony doors. Genius!

As with everything in Korea, the whole process was over in a matter of minutes. I guess small apartments equals not a lot of clutter to fill them!
