That's very little really. Before we left Shanghai, we either threw or gave away half the stuff we owned (granted, that includes plates and glasses). We sent about 6 big boxes filled with clothes, books, CDs and an appliance or 2 by slooooooooooow mail. Combined, they weighed about 100 kg. Flying to Europe we just had two suitcases and another two bags which we took on the plane. For the past 6 months we've only been using what was in the suitcases and bags: a modest amount of clothes (for a gay couple), laptop and toiletries. Not once did we feel the need to take something out of those 6 boxes. That leaves us with the reality that we actually only need about one quarter of what we had amassed by the time we left Shanghai. Talk about an eye-opener.
On the other hand, I can't wait to go shopping in London...
