What should I pack when moving to East London?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in East London to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to East London, you should pack a variety of clothing to accommodate the city's mild climate, including lightweight clothing for the warm summer months and warmer clothing for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as East London experiences rainfall throughout the year. Pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the city and hiking boots if you plan on taking advantage of the numerous hiking trails in the area. Also, pack swimwear and beach accessories if you plan on visiting the city's beautiful beaches. Remember to pack all necessary toiletries, prescription medications, and a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack a supply of any specific over-the-counter medications you may need, as they may not be readily available in East London. Pack all necessary travel documents, including your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. Also, remember to pack copies of important documents, such as your birth certificate, medical records, and insurance policies. If you're moving for work or study, don't forget to pack any necessary work or school supplies. This might include a laptop, textbooks, or professional attire. Pack a variety of entertainment items to keep you occupied during your downtime. This could include books, a portable music player, or a deck of cards. Lastly, consider packing a few items to remind you of home. This could be anything from a favorite blanket to a collection of family photos. These items can help make your new place feel more like home," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to East London, South Africa.
