Hi all
I posted a list of Goods to take along with us earlier which was shared by a FSW applicant. I modified it a bit & sharing it once again for your reviews. Kindly do give me your feed back. Have a look at it:
1. Carry few formal wear but mostly casual wear like Shalwar Qameez, Jeans & shirts, Inners, few shoes, joggers, slippers, socks, few sweaters, Woolen Caps, gloves & mufflers, Belts, Wallet/Ladies Bags etc.
2. Plastic Dinner set
3. All small kitchen/household items like whisk, stainer, grater, peeler, scissors and small items of daily use.
4. A complete Cutlery set.
5. Dont buy/take lots of clothes for kids as they are in growing age so six months stuff would be OK.
6. Just 1 Warm jacket/Long Coat for each family member. Buy rest of jackets from Canada.
7. Few self grooming stuff like Lotion, Shampoo, Soap, nails & Foot filer, Teeth brushes, Tooth paste, Combs & Hair brushes etc, just for survival. Also Ladies make up stuff.
8. You might not get furnished flat to start life. So consider buying curtains, cushions & pillows in compressed form.
10. Bed sheets for double bed/Single bed.
11. Plastic & Steel daily use kitchen ware.
12. Few packs of Masala/Spices again for survival only.
13. Extra Eye/Sun glasses.
14. Gillette shaving stuff as it is expensive there.
15. Carry Essential Clothes Only. For outdoors you need Pull Overs and Jackets , since all residences are centrally heated , you can easily wear cotton/moderate stuff dresses in your houses.
