Daydreamer, load all your CDs onto a portable hard drive- this'll save you some space. As for DVDs, bring (no, load onto that same drive) only the more obscure stuff-any major release in the West will be available here for dirt cheap, while the complete Kids in the Hall Series won't.
Socks! You're Canadian, so you're spoiled for socks. Bring a year's supply. Attachments for the electric toothbrush. Electric toothbrush.
For peace of mind, you could bring syringes. We're all pretty sure the hospital supplies are safe...
Medication: for example, anti-depressants are hard to come by here- MAJOR stigma.
Set up e-mailaccounts on at least two different platforms, plus a Facebook page.
That's about it. Turn and face the strange, ch-ch-changes...
