What should I pack when moving to Cebu?

"I have totally different advice on what to bring than I've seen from others. Will you need light weight clothing? Yes. Do you need to buy such clothes in America and bring them here with you? No. You can buy any clothes you need here. Ditto most of TBE things people advise you to bring. If you need it here, you can buy it here. I suggest: 1. Bring anything of sentimental value to you. If you have some cherished item that can't be replaced, bring it. But mostly 2. Bring things that are cheaper in the west than here, like electronics. Bring your laptop if you have one. That sort of thing," wrote a member who made the move to Cebu, Philippines.

"When moving to Cebu, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Bring lightweight, breathable clothing that is appropriate for the hot and humid weather. Pack a few items of clothing that are suitable for more formal occasions, such as a dinner or a job interview. Bring a few items of swimwear for the many beaches in the area. Make sure to bring a good pair of walking shoes, as well as a hat and sunglasses to protect you from the sun. Don't forget to bring any necessary medications, as well as a first aid kit. Finally, make sure to bring a few items that will help you feel at home, such as photos, books, and other personal items," explained one expat living in Cebu, Philippines.
