What should I pack when moving to Guayaquil?

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

"Wish I'd Brought My furniture - harder than expected to find a furnished apartment Personal care products - expensive here Everyone's phone number and email address - tough to make friends here as the "upper class" society is pretty closed Wish I'd left home: Warm clothes - 90-95 on cool days here, although the sweaters come in handy when I go to Quito DVD's - pirated movies are big business here," said a member in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

"When moving to Guayaquil, it is important to remember to pack versatile clothing that can be layered depending on the weather. Make sure to bring plenty of sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat to protect from the strong equatorial sun. Thanks to its location on the coast, umbrella, raincoat and sandals should also be included in the packing list. Consider packing a medical kit with basic medicines and insect repellent in case of minor medical emergencies. Additionally, make sure to bring along any important documents such as passport and other identification that may be needed," remarked another expat who made the move to Guayaquil, Ecuador, Ecuador.
