Hi~

Our story has been the same as Christine's... over the years we have "fried" many appliances brought over from the US, from lights to electric razors. Maybe sell your appliances on Craig's List before you come over and use that money to buy new stuff here?

Good luck with your move! Feel free to email any time with questions... sueinthesun@yahoo.com
