Its hard to think of all the little things, and I know we def will forget a few things which we will need. Does any one know what plug adapters we will need to take out there.

Speak soon take care.

EXCITED!!!!!!! YOU BET!!!!!!!!!!!!!And i feel really lucky to be able to go for 3 months and more, and that my friend is letting me use his apartment, thanks Tony, what a wonderful man.
OK you need 2 round pin adapters, voltage is compatable, but an anti surge protector is advisable for sensitive stuff.(aldi this week i believe may be cheapest) mosquito nets are available, I can find supplier if you want. I am taking my sabatier knives, because I love them, my favourite can opener(age showing?) and a brita water filter and refils(aldi last week)because it's HARD HARD water and leaves a film on my Liptons tea and does nasty things inside the kettle (Manchester water is sooo soft).
If you get a tv you'll want a dvd too so take some with you.Ipod and dock too?
Most stuff is available, but possibly not to your taste,but that's all part of the experience. If you havn't got time to shop around Metro Supermarket has most stuff, but no decent sharp knives when I went, and don't laugh but i am also taking microfibre cleaning cloths (because I have them and they weigh nothing). Buy your booze before you come and at the airport for 24 or 48 hours after arrival (i believe). And have £10? cash ready for your visa, it's a mad scramble to the desks.Enjoy. XX
