What should I pack when moving to Manila?

"Brought: 1. My Quit Smoking Chewing Gum - you can't buy it locally so I have to have it shipped over. 2. More little Australian themed presents to give away as pasalubong to different people. 3. Large stocks of my favourite deoderant - you get pretty sweaty and I don't like the local flavours Left: 1. My laptop - they are cheaper there 2. Most clothes except for suits 3. My sense of irony - earnest is the go," said a member in Manila, Philippines.
