    best way to access/transfer US money

    Hi Everyone, I am moving to Hong Kong in the beginning of October. I am planning on renting an apartment soon after my arrival, before I will be able to open a Hong Kong bank account and transfer my funds. I am having trouble determining the best way to access my US bank account so that I will be able to pay the rent and deposit. I am afraid that the maximum withdrawal amount from ATM's will prevent me from withdrawing enough money for the rent/deposit. I am thinking of wiring my money to a trusted friend in Hong Kong before the move, but I am wondering if anyone has any other ideas/advice?
    thanks!

    Money order to your friend? Bring $10,000 USD cash with you?

    Which bank do you use? You can step inside an HSBC or Citibank branch and withdraw without limit.
