The per capita wage income in Pakistan is 35,000PKR. Calculated according to the exchange rate, it is equivalent to RMB 1,143. The point is that many people are averaged and their income cannot reach this level at all. 10,000 RMB can be understood as Many local people earn a year's income, and some people even said online that with this kind of income, one can live like an emperor in the local area. Let me tell you what kind of life you can live in Pakistan with 10,000 yuan based on the local food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The basic necessities of life in Pakistan

Clothing

Pakistani people’s daily attire is still very traditional. Men usually wear brown, white or gray gowns, and bottoms with They mainly wear long trousers and wear a fur hat in winter. The locals call this kind of fur "Jinnah hat". Women are more demanding than men in terms of clothing. In addition to robes and trousers, they must also wear a blouse to cover their entire body with clothes. Clothes in Pakistan are actually not expensive. A set of clothes costs about 3000-4000PKR, which is equivalent to RMB 98-130. Even if it is better and the materials are more stringent, it will cost 4000-10000PKR, which is equivalent to RMB. 130-320 yuan.

Of course, there are also familiar brand stores in Pakistan where you can buy them, such as ZRAR or NIKE. A pair of jeans from a brand store costs 2,700 PKR in Pakistan, a T-shirt from a brand store costs 4,300 PKR, a pair of NIKE or ADIDAS sneakers costs 9,200 PKR, and a pair of men's business leather shoes costs 6,400 PKR. I have to say that the clothes of these chain brands are still very expensive in Pakistan, but their main consumer groups are not locals but foreigners in Pakistan. For foreigners, branded sports shoes in Pakistan are similar to those in China.

Pakistani young people, if they are students, generally have school uniforms. Whether they are primary school or high school, the style is similar to the British style, and the overall look is beautiful and elegant. As for college students, it all depends on how they like to match their outfits. Just remember that there are local dress codes and don’t violate customs. For formal occasions, Pakistanis are no exception. Suits, leather shoes or clothing with local ethnic characteristics are acceptable.

Food

In terms of diet, Pakistan is actually very similar to India. The staple food is rice, followed by curry. The main meat is chicken, and other red meat. Meats such as beef, mutton or pork are still very expensive, but you need to know that Pakistanis do not eat pork. If the poor in Pakistan cannot afford meat, they will supplement their protein with a food called chickpeas.

A lunch at a local fast food restaurant in Pakistan costs 300PKR. In a mid-range restaurant, two people order three dishes, with a total price of 2,000PKR. Children’s favorite Western-style fast food chains, such as KFC, cost an ordinary set meal. 750PKR, a single burger or sandwich costs 225PKR, a bottle of Coke costs 46PKR, a bottle of mineral water costs 36PKR, a cup of coffee costs 190PKR, and a bottle of beer costs 500PKR.

In addition, a one-liter bottle of milk in the supermarket costs 126PKR, 500g of bread costs 88PKR, 12 eggs cost 190PKR, 1kg of cheese 996PKR, 1kg of chicken 441PKR, 1kg of beef 772PKR, 1kg of cheese 897PKR, 1 kg of sausages is 1900 PKR, 1 kg of apples is 177 PKR, 1 kg of oranges is 128 PKR, 1 kg of potatoes is 55 PKR, 1 kg of rice is 162 PKR, and 1 kg of tomatoes is 93 PKR.

Pakistan actually has a cumin curry flavored yogurt. Does it feel a little strange to see such a name? Many people may even think that this is a dark Pakistani cuisine? This yogurt has a very strong curry flavor and the yogurt is also very mellow. The key point is the presence of cumin, which gives you the illusion of barbecue when eating yogurt. Maybe many people are not used to this kind of food, but for Pakistanis, they still like it very much. If you have the opportunity to go to Pakistan, I personally think it is worth trying. After all, every place has its own food culture.

Accommodation

In terms of accommodation, the average price of a hotel in Pakistan is 7952PKR, the price of a youth hostel per night is 3929PKR, the price per night of an ordinary hotel is 6120PKR, and the price per night of a three-star hotel The price is 6855PKR, the nightly price of a four-star hotel is 9108PKR, and the nightly price of a five-star hotel is 11266PKR. Of course, you can also choose to rent a house. The monthly rent for renting a one-bedroom house in the city center of Pakistan is 22,000PKR, the monthly rent in the suburbs is 14,000PKR, the monthly rent for a three-bedroom house in the city center is 49,000PKR, and the monthly rent for a three-bedroom house in the suburbs is 31,000PKR. You need to pay additional property fees, water, electricity, etc., which averages 11,000PKR per month. In Pakistan, the price per square meter of a house in the city center is 127,000PKR, and the price per square meter in the suburbs is 72,000PKR.

In fact, the cost of living in Pakistan is not very expensive, but the environment in many places is still very poor. The air feels extremely dry and there is a lot of dust in the air. When I walk outside, I feel countless dust hitting my face. After walking for a while, I believe that my nostrils are filled with black dust. This is just for normal times. If there is a strong wind, it will be more serious. Sometimes my eyes may even be filled with dust. Difficult to open.

Travel

The last step in food, clothing, housing and transportation is travel. The main means of transportation for Pakistanis in daily travel is motorcycles. There are a large number of motorcycles parked in every corner. In Pakistan, having a motorcycle at home is already quite a big deal, but many families still cannot afford it. It is conceivable that an ordinary motorcycle is a status symbol in the local area. Some families are relatively wealthy, and their children cannot afford it. When he was studying, he had already bought a motorcycle for him to use in school. In addition to motorcycles, Pakistan also has buses, taxis and tricycles, and even animal-drawn vehicles. On the roads of Pakistan, animal-drawn carts cannot be ignored. In addition to being used to pull goods, some are even used to pull people.

If you take a bus in Pakistan, the price is 40PKR each time, a monthly pass is 1200PKR, the starting price of a taxi is 150PKR, 40PKR is recovered per kilometer, and 300PKR is charged for waiting for one hour.

The average local car rental price is 19,000 PKR, mini model 10,000 PKR, SUV model 30,000 PKR, and business van 40,000 PKR.

Life in Pakistan with 10,000 yuan

Method 1: 10,000 yuan is equivalent to 310,000PKR. Based on a monthly income of 10,000 yuan, it can be said to be one of the local high-income people in Pakistan. One, life is still very good. Taking a one-bedroom apartment in the city center as an example, the monthly rent is 22,000PKR, and the water, electricity and living expenses are 11,000PKR per month. In terms of food, every meal is settled in the restaurant. One meal is 2,000PKR, 60 meals a month. Breakfast is temporarily ignored, and the monthly expenses are 60. *2000=120000PKR. In the end, travel is left. Calculated based on monthly tickets and taxis, the monthly ticket price is 1200PKR. The taxi rides 60 times a month, and each time is calculated as 500PKR. In one month, 1200 60*500=4200PKR. The total expenses in the last month were 22000 11000 120000 4200=157200PKR.

According to this kind of expenditure, half of the monthly salary is left. It can be said that the quality of life needs to be improved. Of course, if people go on a business trip to Pakistan, their salary will definitely be more than 10,000 yuan, and food and accommodation are often included, so in a month, they will save more than 10,000 yuan.

Of course, if you travel to Pakistan, 10,000 yuan may change your life. The same diet is calculated according to the above, but three meals are 2000PKR, which is 6000PKR per day. Taking 10 taxis per day, it is 10*500=5000PKR per day. Accommodation is based on five-star hotel standards, and the price per night is 11266PKR. At the end of the day, the expenses in Pakistan will be 6000 5000 11266 = 22266PKR, and then 310000/22266 = 13.9 days. If you are traveling in this way, you can live in the local area for about 14 days and lower the tourism standards, then living for one month is enough, after all, as analyzed above.
