[00:00.00]There were many details to consider.

[00:03.28] After choosing the company

[00:05.48]that I wanted to work for,

[00:07.00]I still had to take a long

[00:08.98] solemn look at my circumstances.

[00:11.60]I decided 1 that I

[00:15.10]would sell my car,

[00:16.20]put my personal belongings 2

[00:17.83]in storage and rent my house.

[00:20.57]A lot of time and

[00:23.20]effortwas required to

[00:24.62]make all the arrangements.

[00:25.71]I decided to tackle

[00:27.80] one aspect at a time.

[00:29.54]The first thing I targeted

[00:33.26]was to sell my car.

[00:34.68] As a matter of principle,

[00:36.99]I felt that the value

[00:38.95]of the car would

[00:40.38]depreciate over the time

[00:41.36]I was out of the country.

[00:43.76]The sensible strategy was to sell it.

[00:47.04]Fortunately, my niece wanted to buy the car.

[00:50.44]I made a list of things

[00:53.51]to take with me.

[00:55.03]I was advised to

[00:57.01]take auxiliary 3 lighting 4.

[00:58.31]I packed batteryoperated flashlights

[01:01.71]to be used in case of power failure.

[01:03.90]I included a waterproof 5 jacket

[01:07.50]in case I needed to

[01:09.15]walk to school in the rain.

[01:11.00]I needed to sort my belongings.

[01:13.85]I had to decide what to save

[01:16.70] and what to pitch out.

[01:18.66]For example, I decided

[01:21.40]I no longer needed

[01:23.15] my typewriter, as I

[01:24.46]only used my computer

[01:26.22] for word processing now,

[01:27.41]so I decided to give it away.

[01:30.15]I made many lists and

[01:33.88]developed a code as a way

[01:35.73]to catalogue my possessions.

[01:37.59]As I packed items in cardboard boxes,

[01:40.98]I made a list regarding the

[01:43.50]contents on the outside of each box.

[01:45.47]I packed dishes in towels

[01:48.97]to protect them.

[01:50.39]Many times I had to

[01:52.47]undo a box because I forgot

[01:54.44] to list the contents.

[01:56.41]When I finally snapped

[01:58.49]the lid of a box shut,

[02:00.13] I sealed it with transparent 6 tape

[02:03.20]and checked to be sure that

[02:04.73] it would not loosen.

[02:06.70]I also included another tag,

[02:09.76]which gave each box a number

[02:11.51]because all cardboard boxes look identical.

[02:15.23] I was careful not to

[02:18.73]abbreviate the names of items

[02:21.35] in the lists lest

[02:22.89]that would mislead me

[02:24.96]as to the contents.

[02:26.71]I continued with this method,

[02:29.01] which also created

[02:30.87] an index of items.

[02:32.08]It seemed the rational way to

[02:34.59]coordinate and organize things.

[02:37.22]I remarked many times

[02:40.39]during this phase of my preparations

[02:42.25]that I had not realized

[02:44.99]I had so much gear.

[02:47.50]At times I had

[02:50.24]to laugh at myself.

[02:51.44]My activities seemed like

[02:54.06]they would make a good script

[02:55.82]for a comedy.

[02:57.02]Maybe I should write a play

[02:59.54] about what I was doing

[03:00.96] and copyright it.

[03:03.80]It certainly would be good

[03:06.32]for a few scenes on a soap opera.

[03:08.62]On the spur of the moment

[03:12.12]I decided to loan my sofa

[03:13.98]and my rug to my niece

[03:15.73]who was moving to a larger home.

[03:18.14]That would mean a few less

[03:20.98]things to put into storage.

[03:23.06]I fulfilled my obligation

[03:26.45]to provide proof of good health.

[03:28.75] I had a chest x-ray taken.

[03:32.14]I had a complete physical examination.

[03:35.42] I had a dental check up.

[03:37.83]Because my health reportsall indicated

[03:41.00]I was in excellent health,

[03:42.53]all of the health care

[03:44.94]professionals I visited encouraged

[03:46.36] me to pursue my adventure.

[03:48.44]I renewed my passport,

[03:51.83]my proof of identity

[03:53.69]as a Canadian citizen.

[03:54.89]I knew that once I arrived

[03:58.29]in China I would also be

[04:00.26]registered with the Canadian Embassy
