Packing in a Small Apartment

In Bedok, where we lived for the first two years we were here, we had a big apartment. When we wanted to pack for holiday, we had to think about what we wanted to bring. Then we went from room to room and gathered it together.

In our small current apartment, it's quite the opposite. I can basically sit on the couch, look around the room, and decide what I don't want to bring. Everything else comes.

This means two things - we don't have that much stuff right now, and we don't have that much relevant stuff (to traveling to cold climates). For example, I have one sweater, one sweatshirt, two pairs of jeans, and no full shoes that are not sneakers. Yes - sorry Jerry - I will be wearing sneakers to your wedding. All that stuff came. Nearly everything else in our apartment is irrelevant.
