What should I pack when moving to Hue?
We asked people living in Hue to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Hue, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include a mix of short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and long pants. Don't forget to pack a raincoat or umbrella as Hue experiences heavy rainfall, especially during the rainy season. Pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and flip-flops or sandals for casual wear. A hat, sunglasses, and high SPF sunscreen are essential to protect yourself from the strong sun. Bring along your necessary medications and a basic first aid kit. It's also advisable to pack insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes. Pack your personal hygiene items, although most of these can be bought locally. If you have a preferred brand, it might be a good idea to bring it along. Don't forget your important documents such as passport, visa, driver's license, and medical records. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents. Pack your electronics like your phone, laptop, and camera. Don't forget the chargers and consider bringing a power adapter as Vietnam uses Type A, C, and D plugs. If you're planning to cook, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or condiments, as they may be hard to find in Hue. Lastly, bring some mementos from home to make your new place feel more comfortable and familiar," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Vietnam.
