Caveat: Signs or Omens

For the next three weeks, as I prepare my departure from the place I've called home for more than a decade, I will be making a daily trip to the post office. That's because it seems like the best way to get some of my possessions back home is to simply mail them. It may not the be the cheapest, but certainly I suspect it's the best compromise of price and convenience.

So I pack boxes and mail them – if I do one a day between now and my departure, that should be about right, I'm guessing. 

Today at my local post office branch, I saw this at the back entrance.

I've circled in red the notable detail: that container is one of the US Post Office's proprietary containers. It's being used as an overflow trash can at a Seoul suburban post office.

I guess that's yet another sign to go back to the US, right?
