More Self Storage Facilities Being Built For Hoarders Like Me

Pile of boxes junk inside a residential garage.

Self-storage through www.GoodStorageLeeds.co.uk became my option when I decided to downsize the home after the kids have left the nest in order to cut down costs. I never realized that I have accumulated so many personal belongings. After sorting through our things at the attic, I found out that there are so many items that will not fit in the new home. I have grown attached to some of the mementos over the course of our life and I needed to put them in a self-storage facility because I can’t bear the thought of giving them away.

I know that I am guilty of hoarding but that is not surprising considering that so many homeowners have been documented for their hording tendencies. What is astonishing is the sheer amount of belongings that I have collected over the years. Some of the stuff was in the garage while other items were stored in the attic. The kids also have a bunch of stuff that they have treasured and I believe they want some of their things preserved and not given away to people who do not understand the memories attached to every item.

Some of my neighbors were suggesting that I sell some of the items but unless the things are in high demand, I don’t expect to make big bucks from it. Not all people are interested on second-hand items particularly the younger generation who have an entirely different idea when it comes to bric-a-bracs.

The only acceptable option is to rent a self-storage unit for short term until I have decided on a better solution. Besides that, I still have to wait for the kids to decide whether they still want to keep some of the items from their childhood. Many people will think that most of the items do not have value because they do not understand a memory that does not provide value to someone else.

A lot of self-storage facilities are available in our area and I have heard news that they are building more. After all I am not the only one who loves to hoard. Everybody else does but they try to make it fit in the garage.

The Contrast of Modern and Ancient Culture In Bangkok

It was my first time to travel to Bangkok, Thailand in Southeast Asia and I was surprised to find it teeming with tourists both local and foreigners. There are tourists in every corner and they are obviously delighted with the city that is a mixture of modernity and ancient culture. There are luxury malls and high end hotels everywhere but you can’t help but notice the ancient temples in their majestic glory.

I arrived in Bangkok through the Suvarnabhumi Airport that has all the facilities expected from a major airport. There are ATM machines, money exchangers, taxis for hire, duty-free shops and restaurants. I can’t help but wonder whether this is really an airport or a giant mall. Currency exchange was quite abundant but I was advised to exchange my dollars to baht when I reach the city to gain a much better rate.

Although taxis seemed to be reasonably priced, I chose the Airport Rail Link which was the fastest way to reach the city. I will be able to avoid the horrendous rush hour traffic for which Bangkok is known for. I have friends waiting for me and I have to see them quickly before I get lost in this busy Asian city.

I have some friends in Bangkok whom I met online and they promised to show me the city whenever I got there. True to their word, my Bangkok friends guided me through a tour to Bangkok. They took me to a really very nice market where there were lots of street foods. We bought many spices and one of my friends cooked this original Thai meal for 12 persons.

It is not difficult being a tourist in Bangkok because there were signs written in English language obviously for the benefit of tourists who do not understand Thai. There is life in the waters because ordinary people lived on bamboo rafts with floating vendors selling all sorts of fruits and vegetables. Life for the ordinary Thai is in contrast to the obvious extravagance of the city. The ancient also blends with the modern and surprisingly it works. There is so much to see and experience but before I leave I would be visiting one of those beautiful Buddhist temples.
