We moved to Seoul from Bundang on the second day of April.
As it is mentioned in the title of this post, it rained! (You might think "What a horrible day to move in!")
However, all members helped each other SO well that we could finish unpacking the boxes, assembling the desks, and cleaning up the new office on that very day. (from 7 am to 11 pm...? not bad!)
We'd like to share some photos taken on our moving day. This post might give you some tips if you are planing on a very "low budget" do-it-yourself moving project!
First of all, we started packing our stuff the day before the moving day. We got the boxes from a nearest supermarket. We wrapped the chairs one by one with air caps so that they don't get scratches while in transit.
It took us few hours to load and unload our stuff to our new office. After moving our furniture and boxes into the office, we started assembling our new desks.
If you are wondering what this is about... There's a ritual called 'Gosa' in Korea in which food is offered to the spirits in order to avoid misfortune and bring good luck. People usually put a head of a pig in the middle of the table! We had a little piggy bank and 'Bossam'(boiled pork dish) which we got as a gift that day.
After this ritual, all of our team members shared 'Bossam' for dinner.
By the time we called it a day, we were extremely tired.
However, all the members were smiling because we were SO ready to bake dreams from next week! :)

This is the last shot of our old office in Bun-dang, which we miss a lot...
It was very weird to see the room getting emptied out!!

We hired only 'one person' to help us on our moving day because we didn't want to spend too much money on this. More importantly, we thought it would be very meaningful for our team if the members help out each other on our first moving day!
Of course it was not easy at all, but we were encouraging each other and working hard! :)
Waplestore women are strong enough to help! No exceptions! :)
We laid down the table tops on the floor before putting the parts together.

Desk tops were 'slightly' heavier than we thought!
Okay! Now we're putting the desk parts together. Assembling 9 desks at a time can never be easy...
These photos really show how teamwork works!

We are almost there...
We also had to take a break...
Finally, the desks are all set!
All the members are helping each other to rearrange the tables in the office.
It was quite exciting to see the new office getting organized little by little...

We also had a little bit of alcohol...
After this ritual, all of our team members shared 'Bossam' for dinner.
After dinner, we opened the gift box from one of our friends, and there was a beautiful flower figurine.
We thought it was a perfect gift for us because we are growing step by step just like the flower.
