What should I pack when moving to Lithuania?

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

"You can get pretty much everything here, but it might take you a while to find it. One thing that is hard to find are the little things like a nylon bag pacifier to give a baby a piece of apple with. Buying a computer here is a chancy thing as they often offer sale computers with a few obsolete parts, that complicate use. My laptop, for example, has a French keeyboard. Electronics seem to be a lot more expensive here as well. Foods are different here and while major brands may be available, your local favourite foods may not be. The latest DVDs and books will probably not be available here for a while or at all. Wrist/ankle wallets are not available here. Things to leave behind. Most of your clothing. You can get inexpensive, good quality clothes at the used clothing shops. Tons of books. Some used clothing shops do a good job of selling used English books. Only take those you need immediately or are rarer. Most of your tools. You can find most of them here. But good quality hand tools like carving chisels go ahead and bring," wrote a member who made the move to Vilnius, Lithuania.

"When moving to Lithuania, it is important to pack warm clothing, as the climate is cold and wet. It is also important to bring a good raincoat and umbrella, as the weather can be unpredictable. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few items of traditional Lithuanian clothing, such as a linen shirt or a woolen sweater, to help you fit in with the locals. It is also important to bring a valid passport and any necessary visas or permits. Finally, it is a good idea to bring a few items of comfort from home, such as books, photos, or music, to help you feel at home in your new country," explained one expat living in Lithuania.
