Hi Goenkar Sanfu, My name is Dominic Ferrao and I was in US a few months back, on short term - precisely St.Louis, Missouri. We stayed at a place called 'Day's Inn' (its got branches all over the US.)for a week (economical too) - In the mean time, we looked out for apartments online. This is the most popular site used by indians in st louis. http://www.myilaaka.com/ - check it out, u MAY find lots of info here regarding Houston Texas too. Many of the street corners have boxes like our Post boxes where we post our letters. These boxes have booklets with all information about apartments in that area - U can just open the box and pick one - its free. I can give you some shopping links : www.walmart.com www.bestbuy.com www.circuitcity.com www.compusa.com www.target.com www.kmart.com www.edealinfo.com www.costco.com www.samsclub.com www.amazon.com www.overstock.com www.ebay.com American Airlines - https://www.aa.com/ Restaurants: http://www.thokalath.com/missouri/restaurants.php Maps and Directions - http://www.civitas-stl.com/map/maps__directions.htm
Hey bottom line is - U can get all the information Online. At St.Louis we did most of our purchasing from Walmart which I think is the best place for our day to day shopping. Ofcourse we do have our INDIAN Grocery stores and I am sure you will have one there in Houston too. Hope this info helps you in some small way. Don't forget Google - just go to google and search. Cheers !!! Mog asundi ani Borea bachen ravat and Have a safe journey - God Bless.
