What should I pack when moving to Netherlands?

"Nothing really comes to mind. I can get most everything here that I can at home, with the exception of certain food products. I guess I would say more money, fewer clothes. But every traveller knows that rule.... :)," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Rotterdam, Netherlands.

"When moving to The Netherlands, you should pack clothes that are suitable for all types of weather as the seasons often transition quickly. Since it's rainy in the autumn, you should also pack rain gear and umbrellas. Additionally, you should bring items to keep you warm during the winter months such as a warm winter coat, scarves, and hats. It is also important to be aware that the Dutch electrical sockets are different from those in the UK, so be sure to bring an adapter to use any electronics from home. Lastly, it might be helpful to bring anything that could make your transition to the new locale more comfortable such as curtains, furniture, and kitchenware," commented one expat who made the move to Netherlands.
