]]> <![CDATA[By: JasonSch]]> 在中国搬家公司多贵？我从来都没有用过。从南京搬家到上海来时候我就把我所有的东西寄到这边来了！很便宜。(I'm definitely not a pack-rat)

在美国很贵。我每次搬家时候就都会叫几个朋有开卡车过来了。然后我们自己搬。真是一种令人疲劳的过程，不过是免费！

There is no equivalent word of "pack-rats" in Chinese. You can say '不舍得扔东西'/bù she3 dé rēng dōng xi.

Nope, both 公里 and 千米 = 1 kilometer.

千米 is more mathematically specific though in that it describes it in terms of 千 = one thousand and 米 = meters, and so it sounds more 'academic'.

公里 seems to be the preferred term when speaking casually.

区别只是：公里是我国的市制长度单位，千米是国际单位。

International System of Units (ISU):
米（m）、千米（km）、分米（dm）、厘米（cm）、毫米（mm）、微米（pm），etc.
