Looking to move to Erbil (Baghdad)

I'm looking to move to Erbil in September (waiting/hoping for a job offer to come through). I've lived in Taiwan and the Czech Republic and I know there are always things that you wish you had brought with you once you get to a new country.

Think back to when you first arrived. What are the top five things you wish you had thought to bring with you? (Ladies especially you! I need all the advice I can get.)

Thanks!
