An Expat Talks about Moving to Copenhagen, Denmark
What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?
Copenhagen
Name three things that you wish you had brought and three you wish you had left at home.
Should have left behind my food Processor (We found out that with the electrical conversion from the U.S., some appliances like food processors need more than just a standard converter. We would need to get a converter that is about $100 to use this appliance)
Should have brought Cold/flu medicines, cough drops and cough syrup -- these are not available except by prescription in Denmark. (Editor's Note: Always make sure you research the legal implications of bringing ANY medications into a foreign country)

What advice would you give someone preparing to move to your area about the actual move, choosing a neighborhood and finding a home?
No matter how much people told us that we didn't need to know Danish, we did. Everyone speaks English, but without knowing the native language, we have felt on the outside of many social occasions.
