What should I pack when moving to Helsinki?

We asked people living in Helsinki to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"I wish I had brought ponds cold cream. Not missing much else! And more 3 pin to 2 pin plug converters- I forgot that all my electrical goods will need them here. I don't have any medical or dental records- maybe I should have requested copies of those. I wish I had left at home a lot of printed out info- it took up weight allowance moving and it's all available on the internet. Otherwise I travelled very light," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Helsinki, Finland.

"• Clothes suitable for all types of weather conditions • Comfortable shoes and rain boots • Water-resistant coat, gloves, and a hat • Toiletries and essential medical supplies • Documents such as passport, visa, and medical records • Laptops, mobile phones, charger, and adapters • Local currency and emergency cash • Power strips and surge protectors • Kitchen items such as pots, pans, cutlery, and small appliances • Blankets and sleeping bag • Bedding and pillows • Essential furniture such as chairs or tables • First aid kit • Local maps and guide books • Insect repellent • Laundry supplies • Binoculars or cameras," commented one expat who made the move to Helsinki, Finland.
