Challenges in Pakistan - *Connectivity Issues*: In rural areas, internet might be slower – try _lite_ versions of sites (like _lite_ Facebook). - *Payment Barriers for International Sites*: Use _international debit/credit cards_ (if available) or _PayPal_ (if supported) for sites like Amazon; Daraz accepts local methods. - *Power Outages*: Prepare for load-shedding – battery backup + mobile data if needed.
