Hi,

As an expat living in Belgium, what would you advise the ones about to pack to bring along?

What are the items you can easily find in Belgium? On the other hand, what is less common or quite expensive?

Share with us what you would recommend to bring in one’s suitcase or container when moving to Belgium.

Thank you in advance,

Christine

If you're under 5'4", bring lots of jeans/pants. Seriously -- if anyone knows where to get petite clothing, let me know!
