Moving to USA

[SyL]

Hoimei,
You can avoid the expensive shipping and follow jubee's advice, unless you have items you can't do without. Garage sales are held weekly, almost, in Sunnyvale and nearby cities--just follow the signs posted on the neighborhood streets! (Although, I can't comment on quality or lack of.)

If you find yourself needing an asian environment, with shops and such, visit Cupertino Square in Cupertino (bordering city) or Milpitas Square (Walmart is nearby). Both places have a 99Ranch--the largest asian supermarket: www.99ranch.com .

Enjoy the California weather!

we just moved back the the US last year. I really recommend you to buy furniture there instead of shipping it, unless you really love your own furniture, since the shipping is really high, plus the furniture there is not too expensive.....

echo all suggestions above. in addition, try furniture stores on El Camino Street in Sunnyvale/mountain view.
