If you are bringing enough stuff to warrant a container, then pack it full.

Winter clothing I would buy here if you dont have any, more selection, better equipped to deal with local conditions and for less money.

Electronics I suppose it depends if you want the hassle of using transformers, there is a long wiki article covering the pros and cons and what works and what doesnt.

Furnature I would bring if you have enough to be worth while, especially if its decent quality. Bedding is tricky, sizes are different here, and you are technically supposed to sterilse it or something.

Kitchen stuff, pots and pans etc, you might as well bring, it all adds up to replace it. Plus its nice to have some familiarity when you start off.


Having said that I came with more or less nothing.
