What preparations do you need to make if you want to stay in Pakistan for a while?

If you want to live in Pakistan, there are several things to prepare first, such as water, electricity and rats everywhere. Let's talk about water use first. Pakistan has a large population, and there are also big rivers like the Indus River. However, the precipitation is not much, and the average annual precipitation in many central areas is less than 250 ml, which is basically the level of Gansu Province in China. In our opinion, Gansu once belonged to the arid province in the west.

Considering its huge population of over 200 million, water use has become a serious problem. In severe cases, the open water surface of 100 meters is almost dry, and most residents can't see a drop of water in the faucet for two or three months, so they can only rely on the water tanks in other provinces to use that water.

Besides water shortage, the water quality in Pakistan is not so good. After all, so many people want the Indus River to be clean. This is not to mention the thin municipal works in Pakistan. So if you want to live in Pakistan, you should always drink mineral water, and your bathing habits need to be changed.

Let's talk about electricity consumption first. Pakistan's power grid and power plants are very backward. It used to be hydropower. Because hydropower is greatly influenced by seasons, the construction of thermal power plants has been strengthened in recent years. But this doesn't seem to help much because population growth is a bit of a headache. Therefore, there has been no substantial improvement in Pakistan's electricity consumption. It is normal for cities to lose power 4-5 times a day, not to mention rural areas, and many central organs are basically out of power.

It is also for this reason that many large electrical appliances cannot be used when living in Pakistan, or attention should be paid to downtime for maintenance when using them. Think about it. In Karachi, a city in southern Pakistan, there is no air conditioning in the temperature of more than 40 degrees. Do you think it will be very comfortable? As for the unscrupulous internet access in China, basically don't think about it. Pakistan does not have such mature communication technology.

Another big impression of Pakistan is that there are scum everywhere. Once it rains heavily, the muck will drift with the tide. The problem brought by dregs is that there are many mosquitoes such as mice. Pakistan's "Dawn" reported the situation of rats in major cities before. If you rent a house in the city, there will be a bunch of unwelcome guests besides yourself. Remember, it's a pile, not one or two. The derived problem is that seven people are bitten by rats every day in Peshawar.

Of course, life in Pakistan is not all bad news, there is always a good side. One is that ordinary Pakistanis are full of affection for China people, and they may be dragged to take photos when walking in the street, just like being a star. When you encounter problems, you can also get their strong assistance by looking for local military and police.

Another point is that the pace of life in Pakistan is relatively slow. This slowness does not mean that individuals can stop changing if they want to. But they have this characteristic from the state to the government. For example, if you find someone to change a bucket of water, I will contact you on Tuesday and get it done on Thursday. When you ask a local person to do something, he will verbally inform you that it is no problem, but when it can be done is another matter.

So in the big environment, the pace of life in Pakistan is very slow. If you are a slow-witted person and can withstand the days of water and electricity shortage, you can go to Pakistan to live. However, most people who go to Pakistan either come from China enterprises or want to do business.
