Salary for decent living by preethisuyambu
Husband got job in San Jose with $3000.we have a 10 month baby and everything we have to handle like housing and other expenses is it good to accept the offer?

Moving to Japan by ryannguyen1
Hello All, I have relatives in Japan that want me to send them some stuff from the US. Does anyone know a good freight forwarding company that can help me with this? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
