Moving to guangzhou in 3 weeks...

do bring all your clothes including underwear with you as they are both expensive and not of good quality from most shops including online shopping.  yes, bring as many pairs of shoe as you could, as you won't get the same quality and price as you can in london, all imported items are super expensive here.  toiletries and insect repellent not a major issue.  also, bring your regularly used shampoo, medicines and cosmetics (if you are female) with you as they may not be easily available.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Guangzhou first.

I'm a native here. Don't worry about the stuff for living. You know there are so many foreigners living in GZ, of curse they don't need to bring a lot. I know some guys they even have used to Chinese food after couple years.

Clothes, shoes and other thing also cheap and with good quality. But the original foreigner brand is really expensive. That is true.
