What should I pack when moving to Pakistan?

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...

"Clothing - appropriate, loose clothing in summer and warmer clothing in winter. Sunglasses, sunscreen, and hats. Medication, passport and other important documents. Power adapter or voltage converter, food and snack items, camera, phone and laptop charger. Toiletries, mosquito repellent, hand sanitizer, and first aid kit. Cash, credit cards, ATM/debit cards, travelers’ checks. Maps and guidebooks," 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.
