Even in Kyoto

In a logistical sense, or in the broader sense of thinking about transitions?
Something of both, since we moved into our previous place with a professionally-packed truck of stuff and left with only stuff that would fit into a mini-van. There was a fire in between, and most of the stuff in the van was actually donated.

The move in is especially memorable because I drove our car cross country some time after Dïe Überblönde and the truck of stuff arrived -- had work to finish up at my previous job -- and I got sick as a dog during the drive and had to drive through a snowstorm in the Appalachians for good measure. :P

Hadn't heard of the book before, though.
