"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," commented one expat who made the move to Budapest, Hungary.

"When moving to Hungary, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the season, such as a coat and warm clothing for the winter months. Bring comfortable shoes for walking around the city. Pack items that will help you feel at home, such as pictures of family and friends, books, and music. Don't forget to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport, visa, and other important paperwork. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few items that will help you learn the language, such as a Hungarian dictionary or phrasebook," remarked another expat in Hungary.
