I wish I had known...

It would have been great to know in advance what goods you can buy here easily and what goods you should rather bring from home, as they are not available or much more expensive here.

Some people made the mistake that they thought in the beginning, they will study hard and then travel around. However, as your study progresses you will find it more difficult to have time enough for studying and travelling, so start to travel around as soon as possible!
