What should I pack when moving to Hasselt?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Hasselt, you should pack clothing suitable for a temperate maritime climate, which includes warm clothing for the winter months and lighter clothing for the summer. Rain gear, such as waterproof jackets and umbrellas, are essential due to the frequent rainfall. Pack your important documents, including passport, visa documents, driver's license, medical records, and academic certificates. If you're moving for work or study, don't forget any necessary paperwork related to your job or university. Bring your electronics, such as your laptop, smartphone, and chargers. An adapter may be necessary as Belgium uses type E power sockets. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to bring some of your favorite non-perishable food items that might be hard to find in Belgium. Pack personal care items and toiletries to last the first few weeks, until you find where to buy them locally. Don't forget to bring any prescription medication you take regularly, along with a copy of the prescription. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair and your prescription. Pack some items that remind you of home, such as photos or small keepsakes, to help you settle in your new place. Lastly, bring enough cash for the first few days and a credit card that works internationally, until you can set up a local bank account," commented one expat who made the move to Hasselt, Belgium.
