Coz i just moved back to pakistan , few months ago :) it aint me , its reality that speaks :)
Rent varies according to the area and locality .. in a decent mediocre area like Gulshan-e-Iqbal or Gulistan-e-Johar .. for one or two bedrooms apartment , i say you would be talking around atleast 8 to10k :)
I would rather suggest you to get your own transport as soon as you can , as traveling through cabs and rickshaws would probably cost you the same and it comes with security concerns :)
Thank you :) your figures really did shock me. I can't afford a full payment of a car. I am thinking of bringing between 3-6lakh with me. I don't know how much is suitable thats why I was asking for a budget.
Is it difficult to find accomodation in Karachi? Where would you suggest one should look?
