"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," remarked another expat who made the move to Pakistan.
