Come the end of my adventure chicagolaise, departure and all the paperwork that I love (those who know me will recognize my sarcasm.) Come on, let's go, courage, gonna be okay. The U.S. sense of service is always present, even when calling customer service to close his account! As with Example:
Comed (electricity): I call, they ask me what day I want to cut the power. It then asks me the mailing address of my last bill. Woups, Comed does not accept foreign addresses, and I returned to France ... Too bad, the colleague who will receive the invoice, and I will pay with a credit card by phone. Phew, the electricity is made.
ComCast (Internet TV): I call, you ask what day I want to cut. No expense has paid off! And for the modem, the decoder? A technician will resume for free. Hallucinations, the customer is king!
Citibank (banking): Again, by telephone and without any problem. I close my account in late January (I still have cash deposit) and then it will be removing the distributor in France, international money transfer, then closing the account. 
T-Mobile : I could not test a line closure, c is my box that manages the contract for my phone.
Apart : No Warning System, which I had been resigned to for a year ... October, when I thought to stay. 2 solutions presented themselves: to find a subtenant or pay a penalty for breaking the lease (equivalent to 2 months rent ...) Finally the owner understood my unfortunate history of visa and very comprehensive (I thank him) let me go free! :-) Champomy
Email luggage : Then, there are two schools: the boat or plane. After several quotes, I realized that the carriers are worried vessel volume, and the lofty worried much more weight! Eventually about 200 pounds per airplane, about $ 3,000. Thank you to my box of hand for this financial operation. 
And the furniture you might ask? All this stuff purchased on www.craigslist.org (free classifieds site known and used by all Americans)? After successfully pass TV has a pal, the rest of the furniture (sofa, coffee table, desk, table, chairs, king size bed, my king size bed :-(((() will give a ... the Salvation Army , equivalent Emmaus coming nicely to get rid of the truck. That remains more than to clean the apartment and leave? UUUU not tell my parents I was ashamed :-), but I have hired a cleaning lady taf for 3h, $ 65. Come on, it makes me calm will visit Chicago on the last day, take the latest photos, latest deals in dollars ... And
Zou in the plane!
