Today I ran some errands, paying a rent, opening a bank account, and shopping. I went to downtown by subway to buy Futon. I didn't want to take time to coordinate colors or patterns for sheets and a pillow. So I bought a set of complete bed. It includes sham and bed skirt. First I had no idea with these words. And then I found out that sham is a cover of pillows and bed skirt is the sheet the covers both sides of bed's underneath. I looked up a dictionary and sham is decorated covers in American English, but ぺてん師 or みせかけ in English. mmm, I see!
I could sleep well with this comfortable bed!

SHAM in England means something really negative.
If you say "it is a sham" it means you are being "ripped off" - they are overcharging you - or the course is no good - or your clothing is fake.
It is a sham!!!

When you said "went to downtown", it should be "went downtown". If you use `to` then it should have a name after it.
EG I went to Australia.
I went to BoxHill
I went to America
EG I went downtown

Thank you again, Aaron! Very good explanation you gave me.
