That is baggage.

Chelci wanted to know how I dealt with all my bags at the airport.  Since they provide these lovely carts - at the airport wasn't bad, but it was getting them into the company van (with nine other people) and up to the apartment.  Let's just say thank heaven for the kindness of strangers.  Several of the guys on the van helped me lug them on and off and the guards at the apartment helped me lug them up and into the apartment.  For the record - it's a little weird going into a building where the guards don't speak English, grab all your belongings and hustle you into an elevator to a somewhat unclear destination.  Although just going with folks via a complex set of charades and a bit of trust is becoming the norm in my world.
