So guys I will be moving to Lahore in the start of January next year. I have already rented a place out so that's done, now a few things of importance that I would like some Lahoris to pitch in with what they know:
- I noticed in DHA phase 5 where I was roaming around and specifically in A block where I have rented the place ufone was giving edge instead of 3G. One would expect Ufone having sorted that but most of the time I was getting only edge. So which network should I be moving to for good internet access, I don't download on my phone connection but would not mind having a decent post paid line that covers surfing and hotspot usage. No I don't want those dongle devices.
- I have heard PTCL smart tv or wateen tv (compulsory internet from them) is available there, which option works better in your view? I will probably look for a 2mbps or 4mbps connection.
- What are the reasonable furniture market or shops in Lahore? Am not interested in gaudy furniture but basic no frills clean cut modern furniture, please don't say habitt it's too expensive. Also in Karachi we have nursery where refurbished or used furniture is also available, are there any such markets in Lahore?
- Where are the company operated PSO pumps if any located in Lahore?
- What is the best place in Lahore to buy home stuff such as kitchen utensils, crockery, groceries, Makro, Metro or Hyperstar in terms of value for money and variety.
- We have a wholesale electronics market in Karachi, so we bought a 43k ka fridge in 39k. Is there any wholesaler of Haier and other home appliances or markets where one can go?
- How easy or how difficult is the driving licence acquisition process in Lahore, any shortcuts? Also if my permanent and temporary addresses are from Karachi, will I need to update my Nadra card to be able to get a licence made from there? (basically need to get my wife's licence made, I hope my sindh wala will be valid there?)
- What are the important traffic laws that should be followed to avoid challans? (Karachi has one law, try to abide by the signal)
- I noticed in Lahore that in breakfast time the delicacy is cholay and nan, do you guys have chai hotels that do parathas too?
- Other than mall of Lahore which are the good malls of Lahore and where are they located?
- What is the absolute No.1 hospital of Lahore?
More questions will be added to this thread as they arise, feel free to give your expert local knowledge!
