What should I pack when moving to Budapest?
We asked people living in Budapest to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"Wish I'd brought: -Fall clothing (raincoats, light jackets, closed toed shoes) as summer and fall can be quite chilly -Skype Phone (hand-held device that works with Skype on your computer) -ipad/kindle or other portable electronic reader & internet device," said another expat in Budapest, Hungary.
"If you’re relocating to Hungary the only things you really need to bring are the things that are irreplaceable to you. Family photos, art, mementos. Despite what you may have heard virtually everything else is available if you know where to look. Jonesing for a Reese’s peanut butter cup? Asian store on Kiraly in the 6th and so on. Anything you pack and ship besides clothes and personal items is probably a waste. I wish I brought half as much as I did. Things not to bring? Furniture and anything with a plug," wrote a member who made the move to Hungary.
