When you are about to move abroad, chances are your mind will go on overdrive with all the things you need to do. There is no doubt that moving away from home is going to be an exciting time, but it can also be quite stressful. And that is why we tend to stay in a puzzle about the things we need to take with us. Here is the list of stuff you can bring from Bangladesh while moving to many western countries.

Things Bangladeshi Students Should Bring in Western Countries

Electronics

Most of the electronics items for regular usage are cheap in western countries, especially phones and laptops. It is because of the duties and high import tax. However, if you already own a phone and laptop, you should bring them with you. But, if you want to buy a new one, it is recommended that you purchase it from the country you are going to. Those who bring laptops from the country will bring a three-pin converter because the charger plug of Bangladesh cannot be inserted in western countries.

Clothing

Take a few pairs of jeans. There is no need to bring too many shirts on as you will need them for official programs only. You can bring two or three to wear to university presentations or formal events. Take 5-6 t-shirts so that you can wear them for at least one year. However, most of the time, you may need to wear hoodies over your t-shirts. So, taking a few hoodies as a hoodie over a t-shirt is a very common outfit in western countries.

The weather in Bangladesh and another part of the world is not the same. Most of their clothes are made breathable, which means that if you wear those clothes in winter, you will not feel cold, but you will not sweat. In Bangladesh, you can buy a lot of clothes for a low price that will keep you warm, but at the end of the day, they will make you sweaty hot. So, it is recommended not to buy winter clothes from Bangladesh. However, you may bring a few clothes for fall and spring.

Pajamas, lungi, saree, salwar kameez, etc., are more expensive abroad, so take them with you as needed. And yes, take Punjabi to wear at the Baishakh or Falgun festival.

Household and Kitchen Items

However, if there is enough space in the luggage, you can take a flat-bottomed fry pen. These can also be purchased from Amazon or Walmart or at many local shops, and prices are not that much higher.
