What should I pack when moving to Bangalore?
We asked people living in Bangalore to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Bangalore, 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 can be layered for cooler evenings. Pack comfortable walking shoes, as well as sandals or flip-flops for the hot weather. Bring a few items of clothing that are appropriate for religious sites, such as long skirts or pants and a scarf for women. Pack a few items of clothing that are appropriate for business meetings, such as a suit or dress. Bring a few items of clothing that are appropriate for formal occasions, such as a sari or kurta. Pack a few items of clothing that are appropriate for casual occasions, such as jeans and t-shirts. Bring a few items of clothing that are appropriate for the monsoon season, such as raincoats and umbrellas. Pack a few items of clothing that are appropriate for the winter season, such as sweaters and jackets. Bring a few items of clothing that are appropriate for the beach, such as swimsuits and cover-ups. Pack a few items of clothing that are appropriate for the outdoors, such as hiking boots and a hat.
