Unpacking videos are a thing now, right? Well, this one has a bit of a difference... This is me unpacking things I haven't seen in almost three years as I was separated from my luggage (and my previous life) due to the pandemic.

Long story short, I left China in January 2020 expecting to be away for a couple of weeks. I had all my stuff there in my own cute little place.

China closed in March 2020 (locking me out) and hasn't re-opened since.

My friends helped me move out in April 2020 and moved my stuff eventually into storage. This whole time I was waiting to get back.

In the end, I moved to Taiwan and almost 3 years later - it's still not possible to get into China to get my stuff and I got it all shipped over to Taiwan.

Inside these boxes was the main reason I needed to keep it all; all my collection of things I've picked up from the DPRK over the years and trips there.

Enjoy unboxing with me!
