6 Nations Rugby by Damsel

What to buy before you move to Malta? by whiteprimer
Each time I move to a new country I find out after the event... Nuts, I wish I had bought this first and shipped it over with the rest of my things... With this in mind, what things would you buy in advance to stick in your container of household ...
Let's see...when I'm back in Canada I tend to load up on: - computers and associated things (routers, laptops, printers) - small appliances (horribly overpriced here) - clothes - I've barely bought anything here. Expensive and I'm 5'10 so I have a ... Read More
