What should I pack when moving to Hungary?
We asked people living in Hungary to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"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," commented one expat who made the move to Budapest, Hungary.
