For accommodation: immoweb.be  (1200 and 1140 (evere) postcodes looks accessible to your office)  -- Please note that apartments/houses normally demand a minimum 1 year contract. For shorter durations, you may have to depend on a business flat (serviced residence) - like bbf.be

To bring:
- Winter clothes (yes, it is coming :) )
- A small pressure cooker (for dal, etc)
- Mixer/grinder (if you use it a lot)
- Emergency medicines (to use till you settle down here and find a doc etc),
- If your kid is small then his/her vaccination history, etc.

Available here:
- All Indian groceries like lentils, masalas, whole and ground spices, rice & flour, etc.


Hope this helps..

Additional note: I know there are a lot of families living here, on on-site assignments from TCS. You can search internally and talk to TCS guys who are already here with their families.
