Coming LONDON For The First Time? [ MUST WATCH] || What TO Pack From INDIA to UK?
Today's video is going to be on a different topic
We came to UK 5 years ago
Me and Richa
We brought a lot of stuff
We thought we are going to a new place
We thought we are going to settle there
So we should have everything ready
We made a lot of mistakes
while packing our stuff
We didn't need any of those things
We brought it by overpacking
And the most important things
in our life
Without which
it's very difficult to live
We didn't have that
So today we are going to share
our experience
What mistakes we made
So that you don't repeat the same
My partner Richa is here
Hi guys! How are you all?
I hope you all are good
and happy
My eyes are closing
So today we are going to share
our experience
It's going to be funny
There are some things
which you should avoid
and some things you should have
Let me tell you a small thing
We didn't have tea for a week
We didn't have tea
So guys
without wasting any time
Let's start this video
Guys, look at this
Brand ambassador
Sorry guys
I am not promoting
The main thing I want to show you
is this ghee
Guys, don't import this ghee
Don't import any processed milk
from India
The problem is
that you can't import
any milk product
or any plant product
from any foreign country
The main reason is
that the customers
take it and put heavy fine
This is easily available in UK
You can go to any Indian store
You can get it easily
at any Indian store
The story is
You think you got 1 kg of ghee
and for a month you will be thinking
that you got such a big fine
that you will be tensed
that you should have brought milk
I could have brought 10 kg of ghee
in this fine
So, you should avoid it
The main thing is
that you should check
what are the restricted items
Milk products and plant products
are not allowed
Let me tell you one thing
If you want to import
then you can get
homemade Matari
Gujiya, Ladoos
These are all long lasting
So, you can import these
You don't have to worry about
getting caught by the customers
Ghee is also homemade
but it is made of milk
Please try to understand
Don't mix both
You can get Ladoos
because we Indians
have a right to get it
So, keep it minimal
so that you can use it
for 15-20 days
and when you get an idea
of Indian stores
then you can buy it from there
Now, let's talk about Dal
and Masala
So, let me tell you
that when I came here
for a starting
I got 2-3 Dal and 2-3 Masala
which are basic
I didn't pack anything
other than this
just to let you know
that I don't have enough capacity
for bags
You can adjust it for 15-20 days
and when you get an idea
of Indian market
then you can buy it from there
Obviously, it is expensive
You will get everything
at double or triple rate
but if you come here
then you can adjust it
according to pound
Secondly, there are
World Food section
in normal grocery stores
like Tesco, Asda
When you go to Asian section
you will get Dal, Masala
and Bhujiya
You don't have to worry
about it
You can definitely try it there
and you will get everything
Guys, this is very important thing
which we have to bring
It is not restricted
It is over-the-counter medicines
I have a lot of medicines
like for fever, throat,
stomach pain,
leg pain
You can bring it
Make a small pouch
so that you can bring it
When you land here
then you will get
different brands of salt
and you don't know
whether it is suitable or not
If you bring small pouch from India
then you will get a lot of benefit
for some time
Secondly, you have to bring
health insurance
Many people make a mistake
that they don't bring
health insurance
If you face any problem
then you will feel
that you should have taken
health insurance
so that you can save yourself
So, make sure
that you have health insurance
so that you can register
yourself with local UK government
and you should have
basic security
and over-the-counter medicines
which are very important
for your health
So, these two things
are very important for your life
Now, let's talk about
driving license
People who love to drive
UK government allows
you to drive for one year
on Indian driving license
So, bring your driving license
in India
and you can drive for one year
In this period
you should pass
local driving license
then you can continue driving
If you know how to drive
then you should bring
Indian driving license
and you can drive for one year
Now, let's talk about
clothes
Everyone has to bring
but the confusion is
which clothes to bring
and which not to bring
So, bring your basic clothes
but don't bring jackets
because a lot of people ask
that it's very cold there
So, let me tell you that
it's very cold here
and you have to be ready
with your jackets
for 12 months
Now, it's summer
but our jackets
are always with us
So, it's cold at night
because you don't have fan
I have told so many times
that if you don't have fan
then you can use mosquito repellent
You should have a thick jacket
like this
with a hoodie
because it will protect you from rain
in case you don't have an umbrella
and when you are traveling
you can keep a thin jacket
with you
so that you don't have any problem
with your hands
Most of the times
when our luggage is overweight
we try to hold
a light jacket
in our hands
and wear a thick jacket
so that we don't have an issue
of overweight
Never keep your jackets
in your luggage
that saves you
2-3 kg
Now, let's talk about
formal clothes
If you are a student
or working professional
then keep one suit
because if you don't have
formal clothes then it can be a problem
So, you can keep one suit
which is a formal dress up
like if you have to attend a meeting
it will be very useful for you
and of course
you should keep some Indian wear
like we celebrate everything here
Diwali, Navratri, Dussehra
Independence day
we celebrate everything
so, if you have Indian wear
then it will be very useful for you
because many people wear Indian wear here
so, keep one suit
whether you wear a pajama
suit or saree
it is must
because the Indian wear cost
is very high
and you won't get variety
if you get it
it won't be up to date
and it will be expensive
so, it's best to get your Indian wear
stitched
if you get it stitched
it will be very expensive
so, it's best to keep
one or two pair of Indian wear
so, when there are Indian movements
you won't feel that you don't have Indian clothes
So, guys, the next point
is a universal plug
If you are coming from India
then you should know that
there are 2 pin plugs in India
and in UK, there are 3 pin plugs
and they work here
so, our Indian switches
don't work here
so, if you are coming from India
and you have laptops
they won't work here
so, I brought this
to come from India
which is a universal plug
because you will get multiple things
if you want to put a pin
and 4-5 things
get charged here
you will get this
this is very common here
you will get this in every shop
but you will have to order this from Amazon
so, I would say
bring one with you
so that you won't have any problem in the first day
now, everyone is fond of shoes
especially girls
but guys, let me tell you
when there is a place to keep limited things
I will recommend you
to keep only one pair of shoes
because shoes are very must here
you will have to walk a lot
from airport to market
or you are going to buy groceries
you have to walk a lot
you have to go to bus station
or metro station
so, you need a perfect sports shoes
which will be useful in your daily wear
and secondly
if you are fond of heels
keep one heel
because it will fall down
keep one heel
and keep one formal shoes
keep one heel
if you want to wear it for office
because one normal heel
will go with your Indian wear
if you are doing any Indian celebration
and if you are going to a party
that will also work
am I looking good?
so, next point we are going to talk about is
specs
guys, those who have specs
I would say
whenever you are going from India
take 4-5 pair of specs
definitely
I will tell you the reason
if specs breaks
then it will cost 150-200 pounds
and in India
it will cost 2000-3000
so, it is not that we cannot afford
but the main thing is
2000-3000 vs 20,000
I don't think it is worth
so, whenever I go to India
I take 4-5 pairs
it was a big problem in first year
because we came here
and specs broke
so, it broke 3-4 times
because it breaks a lot of specs
the reason is
I use it on daily wear
and if students are coming
or working professionals
those who use it
they have to wear it on daily wear
and it breaks very fast
I use very thin specs
rimless
so that it looks soft and comfortable
and it breaks very fast
so, I think
I can bring 4-5 pairs
and the place is so small
so, why not save the money
so, coming to the next point
on kitchen
what can we bring in kitchen
and what can we avoid
so, guys, I will tell you one thing
Sharni
this is very important
you must bring it
because you won't get it easily here
when we came here
I started sharing my experience
it was very difficult for me
I had to afford
tea bag
because I didn't have Sharni
and I didn't know
that it is not easily available here
so, keep this in mind
it is very less
and if you are south Indian
or if you are fond of eating Idli
on weekly basis
or regular basis
so, keep an Idli maker
because it is very important
I am just telling you the small points
and basic
a plate, a spoon
and a bowl for the starting
time
after that, when you settle here
you can buy some things from outside
but I am recommending you for starting initial days
now, the main point
is that
if you see many houses here
they are induction
so, make sure
whatever utensils you bring
should be induction proof
specially your pressure cooker
you need a pressure cooker
a pan
and let me tell you
if you have a fry pan for making tea
the three most important things
which are used in Indian cooking
please make sure
induction should be safe
and second thing I would like to tell you
please make sure
if you have a small
salt pan
in which we can put
4-5 types of spices
make sure
it is made of plastic
because it is very light
if it is made of steel
it will be very heavy
and this is very important
because it will save you from small boxes
and second thing
if you cook or share
the most important thing
microwave should be safe
induction should be safe
but microwave should be safe
like your plate, bowl or tea cup
make sure it is microwave safe
so that you don't face any problem
let me quickly summarize
what you should bring for kitchen
a small pressure cooker
induction safe
a small pan
induction safe
a small salt pan
idli maker
and if you are a bread lover
then a tawa chakla
and make sure
you bring a dosa tawa
so that you can make both
roti and dosa
so guys, let's share our experience
how long did it take us
to make a bank account
it took me 2.5 months
we are talking about 5 years ago
but facilities have changed a lot
I think we had
1000-2000 GBP cash
and we had a credit card
which had a limit of 2000-3000 GBP
so it took us 2-3 months
guys, look at this
we have made a video
but now we have to take care of
all the stuff
it takes a lot of time
we have to do it
we want to give you guys
live information
