"When moving to Bishkek, it is important to pack warm clothing, as temperatures can drop to below freezing in the winter months. It is also a good idea to bring a good supply of sunscreen and insect repellent, as the sun can be strong and the summer months can bring a lot of bugs. Additionally, it is important to bring a good supply of any medications you may need, as well as a first aid kit. It is also a good idea to bring a few items to make your new home feel more comfortable, such as pictures, books, and other items that remind you of home," said a member in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
