What should I pack when moving to Pakistan?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Pakistan, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that is appropriate for the hot and humid climate. Bring a few items of clothing that are suitable for more formal occasions, such as a suit or dress. Make sure to bring a good supply of sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. Bring a few items of traditional Pakistani clothing to show respect for the culture. Additionally, pack any necessary medications, toiletries, and other personal items. Don't forget to bring a few items to make your new home feel like home, such as pictures, books, and other decorations," said another expat in Pakistan.

"Wish I had brought: comfortable dress shoes/sandals, digital camera, good ear plugs Should have left home: soccer ball (you can buy them everywhere), bass guitar (I never got around to playing it), books I didn't use (got water damaged on the way through the Pakistan Post) Read more here - Expat Packing List for Pakistan http://www.expatheather.com/Expat_Heather/Expat_Travel/Entries/2010/3/2_Expatriate_Packing_List__Pakistan.html," wrote a member who made the move to Lahore, Pakistan.
