What should I pack when moving to Oaxaca City?

"When moving to Oaxaca City, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing, as the climate is generally warm and humid. Include a mix of short-sleeve shirts, long-sleeve shirts, shorts, and pants to accommodate varying temperatures and activities. Don't forget a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings and a raincoat or umbrella for the rainy season. Pack comfortable and sturdy shoes for walking on cobblestone streets, as well as sandals or flip-flops for more casual outings. Bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun, and plenty of sunscreen with a high SPF. Make sure to pack all necessary travel documents, such as your passport, visa, and any other identification you may need. It's also a good idea to have photocopies of these documents in case they get lost or stolen. Bring any prescription medications you may need, as well as a basic first aid kit with items like band-aids, pain relievers, and any over-the-counter medications you may need. It's also a good idea to pack a small supply of toiletries, such as toothpaste, shampoo, and soap, to tide you over until you can purchase more locally. Pack a reusable water bottle, as tap water in Oaxaca City is not safe to drink. You'll also want to bring a travel adapter for your electronic devices, as Mexico uses a different type of electrical outlet than many other countries. Consider packing a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook to help with communication, as well as a guidebook or map of Oaxaca City to help you navigate and explore your new surroundings. Finally, pack any personal items that will help make your new home feel more comfortable, such as photos, small decorations, or a favorite blanket or pillow," wrote a member who made the move to Oaxaca City, Mexico.
