Pakistan's food and clothing
Clothing
Pakistani people are still very traditional in their daily wear, men are generally brown, white or gray long shirt, underwear to long pants mainly in the winter time will wear a leather cap, the locals call this fur "Zenna cap". The local people call this kind of fur "Zenana Hat". Women in the dress than the requirements of men, robes, pants, but also must have a smock, the body with all the clothes to cover. Pakistani clothes are not expensive, if a set of clothes is calculated is about 3000-4000PKR, equivalent to RMB 98-130 yuan, even if a little better, the material used on the rope a little bit, is 4000-10000PKR, equivalent to RMB 130-320 yuan.
Of course, there are familiar brand stores in Pakistan where you can buy jeans, such as ZRAR or NIKE. A pair of branded jeans in Pakistan costs 2700 PKR, a branded T-shirt costs 4300 PKR, a pair of NIKE or ADIDAS sneakers costs 9200 PKR, and a pair of men's business shoes costs 6400 PRK. I must say that these chain branded clothes are still very expensive in Pakistan, but their main consumer is not the local people, but foreigners in Pakistan. But their main consumers are not the locals but the foreigners in Pakistan. For foreigners, branded sneakers are more or less the same in Pakistan as they are at home.
Pakistani young people, if they are students, generally have school uniforms, whether it is elementary school or high school, in terms of style and British similar, the overall look is still beautiful and generous. As for college students depends on how individuals like to match, as long as you remember that the local is to dress requirements on the line, do not violate the custom can be. And formal occasions, Pakistanis are no exception, suits and shoes or local national characteristics of the dress is possible.
Diet
In terms of diet, Pakistan is actually very similar to India, the staple food is rice, followed by curry is indispensable, meat to chicken as the main, the other red meat, such as beef, mutton or pork, which is still very expensive, but you need to know is that Pakistanis do not eat pork. If one is a poor person in Pakistan and they cannot afford to eat meat, then they will supplement their protein with a food called chickpeas.
A lunch at a local fast food restaurant in Pakistan costs 300PKR, a mid-range restaurant for two people ordering three dishes will cost a total of 2,000PKR, and children's favorite Western fast food chains, such as KFC, will need 750PKR for a regular set meal, 225PKR for a single burger or sandwich, 46PKR for a bottle of Coke, 36PKR for a bottle of mineral water, and 36PKR for a cup of coffee. 36PKR for a bottle of cola, 190PKR for a cup of coffee, and 500PKR for a bottle of beer.
Another supermarket purchase would cost 126PKR for a one-liter bottle of milk, 88PKR for 500 grams of bread, 190PKR for 12 eggs, 996PKR for a kilogram of cheese, 441PKR for a kilogram of chicken, 772PKR for a kilogram of beef, 897PKR for a kilogram of cheese, 897PKR for a kilogram of cheese, and 772PKR for a kilogram of beef. 897PKR, 1kg sausage 1900PKR, 1kg apple 177PKR, 1kg orange 128PKR, 1kg potato 55PKR, 1kg rice 162PKR, 1kg tomato 93PKR.
Pakistan actually has a cumin curry-flavored yogurt, doesn't it feel a bit strange to see such a name? Many people would even think if this is a dark Pakistani dish? This yogurt curry flavor is very strong, the yogurt is also very thick, the focus is on the presence of cumin, so that you eat yogurt actually produce the illusion of barbecue. It may not be the kind of food that many people are used to, but for Pakistanis, they love it. If you have the opportunity to visit Pakistan, I think it is worth trying, after all, each place has its own food culture.
Accommodation
In terms of accommodation, the average price of a hotel in Pakistan is 7,952 PKR, a youth hostel costs 3,929 PKR per night, a regular hotel costs 6,120 PKR per night, a three-star hotel costs 6,855 PKR per night, a four-star hotel costs 9,108 PKR per night and a five-star hotel costs 11,266 PKR per night. Of course, you can also choose to rent a room, rent a one-bedroom house in the city center of Pakistan, the monthly rent is 22,000PKR, the suburbs monthly rent is 14,000PKR, the city center three-bedroom monthly rent is 49,000PKR, the suburbs three-bedroom monthly rent is 31,000PKR, which also need to pay for the property fee and water and electricity and so on, an average of 11,000PKR a month. In Pakistan, the price per square meter for a house in the city center is 127,000PKR, and the price per square meter in the suburbs is 72,000PKR.
In Pakistan, the cost of living is not very expensive, and the environment in many places is still very poor, and the air feels extremely dry, and the air has a lot of dust in it. When you walk outside, it feels like there is countless dust slapping on your face, and when you walk for a while, I believe that the inside of your nostrils are filled with black dust, and that's just for normal times, but if you encounter a gusty wind, it will be even worse, and there are even some times that it is hard to keep your eyes open.
Travel
Clothing, food, housing and transportation is the last travel, Pakistani people their daily travel is the main means of transport motorcycle, in all corners of a large number of motorcycles are parked. In Pakistan, if the family has a motorcycle is already quite remarkable, many families still can not afford to buy, you can imagine an ordinary motorcycle, but in the local status symbol, some families are more affluent, the child in the time of study has given him to buy a motorcycle for him to go to school. In addition to motorcycles, Pakistan also has buses, cabs and three-wheelers, and even animal-drawn vehicles. The animal-drawn vehicles are not to be ignored on the roads of Pakistan, they are used for pulling goods and some of them are even used for pulling people.
In Pakistan, if you take a bus, the price of each time you need 40PKR, a monthly ticket needs 1200PKR, cab starting price of 150PKR, 40PKR per kilometer recovery, waiting for an hour charge 300PKR. in Pakistan, rental car travel is not recommended, because it is too expensive. The average price of a local rental car is 19,000PKR, mini car models 10,000PKR, SUV models 30,000PKR, business vans 40,000PKR.
10,000 yuan of Pakistani life
Method 1: 10,000 yuan is equivalent to 310,000PKR, if you look at it according to the monthly income of 10,000 yuan. In Pakistan can be said to be one of the local high-income people, life is still living a very good life. Rent a room in the city center as an example, monthly rent of 22,000PKR, utilities living expenses 11,000PKR per month, food and drink to every meal are solved in the restaurant, a meal is 2,000PKR, a month of 60 pairs of meals, breakfast is ignored for the time being, a month's expenses 60 * 2,000 = 12,000,000PKR, the last is the rest of the travel, in accordance with the monthly ticket and cab calculations, the price of a monthly ticket is 1200PKR, cab 60 times a month, each time according to 500PKR calculation, a month down 1200+60*500=4200PKR. finally, the total monthly expenditure is 22000+11000+120,000+4200=157,200PKR. according to this kind of expenditure, the monthly salary is still left half, it can be said that, the quality of life has to be increased upwards. The quality of life has to go up. Of course, if you travel to Bakhtar, their salary is certainly more than 10,000 yuan, and many times there will be food and accommodation, so a month down to save money than 10,000 yuan more.
Of course if it is traveling to Pakistan, 10000 RMB may not be the same life. The same diet according to the above calculation, but a meal of three meals are 2000PKR, a day will have to 6000PKR, travel 10 times a day cab, a day will have to 10 * 500 = 5000PKR, accommodation in accordance with the standards of five-star hotels, the price per night is 11266PKR. so that a day down in Pakistan's expenses will need to be 6000+5000+ 11266=22266PKR, followed by 310000/22266=13.9 days. If it is traveling according to this way, you can live in the local area for about 14 days, reduce the standard of tourism, then living a month is also enough, after all, the previous also analyzed.
Things about living in Pakistan
Does anyone know what ET treatment is? If you want to feel the ET treatment, you can take a trip to Pakistan. In Pakistan, if the locals know that the other person is Chinese, almost everyone can want to take a picture with the other person, the point is that if you promise a Pakistani, there will be 5, 10 or even 20 locals behind you who want to take a picture together, for Pakistans, it is very happy to be able to take a picture with a Chinese, and this kind of thing can be bragged about among friends.
Pakistan's largest city is called Karachi, with a population of more than 20 million, and some people call it the "Shanghai" of Pakistan, so don't be fooled by the title of the largest city. The environment is really bad, there is a lot of garbage on the ground, and the streets and alleys between the buildings are occupied by poor people who use them as shelters.
There are actually not a lot of vehicles on the roads in Pakistan at all, most of them are motorcycles, tricycles, private cars are usually mainly Japanese cars, Toyota and Honda are not too many, and the most numerous is Suzuki, the model is what we often call Alto. These vehicles are a lot of broken, a look at the past know that they have passed the end-of-life, but in Pakistan this place, the car is no scrapping system.
Pakistani people in fact to a certain extent with the Indian character is still the same, in doing things or to procrastinate the word trick, life or work, the beginning of the commitment to complete the thing, and so the time has come, will change the mouth, the thing more and more delayed more and more time. Even a simple thing, for example, when can we leave, he said 5 minutes, his so-called 5 minutes actually need at least 30 minutes or more, can be said that the concept of time is not very good.
There is a traditional festival in Bakhista called Eid al-Adha, when many places set up the kind of makeshift huts that are suggested, and people bring in their own sheep in advance, so that when the festival arrives, the animals become a delicacy on the people's tables. In some families, the festival came and went, but the sheep were still very small, and they would still pull them over, so if the time comes, you can often see some very small-looking lambs in there.
Living in Pakistan encountered power outages is a very common thing, sometimes up to a dozen times a day, less will stop three or five times, some people live in the local life for a period of time will slowly get used to it, but some people can not get used to it, after all, in the Pakistani summer time, the weather is still very hot, if there is no electricity is a very torturous thing. Some people will prepare generators, so when there is a power outage, you will often hear the sound of these generators, which are still very noisy.
People who have been living in Pakistan for a long time, they will slowly have the following habits, in terms of dress, like colorful clothes; in eating, even began to use their hands directly instead of chopsticks or knives and forks; secondly, a meal will often have only one dish, followed by tea will put sugar, whether it is Longjing or other. Tea was brought there from China, and because it has a bitter flavor that the locals are not used to, sugar is added to it. Another thing is that all year round will like to wear slippers on the way out; and finally you guess, the habit of Pakistani people to go to the toilet, in the local life for a long time, this habit will not also have it?
Written in the last
Pakistani life is not everyone can adapt to, there are plans to go to the local people, must be mentally prepared. 10,000 yuan in the country, especially in the first and second-tier cities, for a large part of the people in terms of not a lot, but 10,000 yuan in Pakistan is not the same concept, so that the income of the local is certainly one of the high-income group. But then again, it's still the same thing, even if it's a high-income group, there are still a lot of people who don't want to go over there.
What kind of life can you live in Pakistan on 10,000 RMB, people say? If you are allowed to earn 10,000 yuan a month to travel to Pakistan on business, are you willing to do so? Feel free to say something in the comment section!
