Buying Furniture and Fittings in your oversea home

Beds may be your biggest problem. The makers of beds in your own country may not have exported to this country yet, so you may be left with local bed makers whose idea of a bed may make a rock or the floor softer than your bed (This is true in both India and China). If you are used to a very soft bed then it may be a shock.

Also in the Far East it may be that kitchen units and seats are made for people about 5 ft tall. If you are much taller than 5 ft, you may have problems. One point, for sure, is that sitting on a stool for meal preparation or washing dishes is always a cheaper option than a new kitchen or a bad back. There¡¯s a lot to learn about your new home, wherever it is.

Remember that you will need your address written or printed in the local language to get your furniture delivered. The biggest challenge if you do not have a translator with you may be to simply find out when the furniture will be delivered so you can be there to receive it.

There may be items that you cannot find in your city. Our challenge was finding a potato masher. It may seem very simple but not having it was a problem. We found one in another city while traveling and so we bought it and then noticed that it had finally become available in our city a little while later.

Yours may be getting a deep fat fryer. Rice cookers look similar and are freely available but do not work in the same way. Whatever happens do not get frazzled over what you cannot purchase, but enjoy the differences of what you can use. Eating with chop-sticks or fingers may not be easy at first, but what the locals use will surely affect the availability of cutlery. Saucepans and frying pans may be in short supply if the locals only use a Wok.
