What should I pack when moving to Basel?
We asked people living in Basel to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Basel, it is important to pack warm clothing, as the climate is generally cool and wet. A good raincoat and umbrella are essential, as well as a good pair of shoes for walking on the cobblestone streets. It is also important to bring a few items to make your new home feel like home, such as pictures, books, and other personal items. Additionally, it is important to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport, visa, and other important paperwork. Finally, it is important to bring any necessary medications, as well as any other items that you may need for your new life in Basel," remarked another expat who made the move to Basel, Switzerland.
"1. More lamps (you can use european light bulbs) 2. A multisystem tv purchased on the internet and 220 appliances. 3. A videocam system to see my family. wish I had left at home... 1. All electrical appliances that I thought I could easily convert. 2. My rugs...you can purchase great ones in Turkey and they were damaged in the move. 3. My favorite glass items..they were broken," explained one expat living in Basel, Switzerland.
