What to bring, ship, pack for our move to Warsaw [67]
well, if you are a coffee drinker then a coffee equipment would be useful, plus some coffee beans if you are from Seattle and are used to that kind of coffee culture:). French press can be bought in Ikea I think.
Electronics are expensive in Poland (including computers), so if you can bring them in, you will not waste time shopping in Poland.
Winter clothes: get some good outfitter's clothing for casual wear(they are expensive and of a poorer quality then the American ones), but Polish people dress up a little more then Americans, so bring some fancy stuff too.
Bring all your spices you are used to because it takes time to locate what you are looking for in a new country and you might not find eg onion powder in Poland:). Spices in Poland are usually sold in small quantities, so you might consider bringing some from the US.
As for bookstores, your choice would be limited due to the language but I am sure Empik can provide with some stuff.
Now, if I can only tackle the Polish language!!
if you have time, take some lessons in Warsaw - it is a difficult language and good luck in your move:)
bring some adaptors for electronics.
