Well let me just say, that cars are not cheaper here. There is a heavy tax for car in pakistan.
Clothin would be very cheap over here. I used to line in the West indies (im pakistani though). and whever my family would come to visit pakistani, would buy cloths. Alot of garments are made here and exported abroad. The levis taht u wear, other items are made in this region. leather goods also.Well cds are also cheap, as u get pirated ones here. A simple audio cd costs like 1$. not bad eh :). BUt the fact is, that if it wasnt pirated, no one would be able to affoard here. Windows, office xp, all these are pirated for like a dollar. IF it all was licensed, almost 90% of computer users would not exist, so in a way, this is helping us becoming computer literate.
let me see, what else is there......
Well sporting equipment would be cheaper here, as we have a city 'Sailkot' taht is famous for making such goods and exporting them worldwide, like we soccer balls. the best ones.
Telecommunication has gotten very cheap over here, due to alot of competition.
That kinda covers the major things that are cheaper here.

Pakistan dont have prostitution culture.
There are lot of things,I never been to America but I can guess.Cars,Computers and electronic home applinces are very much cheaper here because china is a neigbour and we trade via road.True for other genrel items.Softwares are aloso cheap,(I am laughing now and I am sorry)because of pirated cds.Movies,cable net,Inter net all are cost less here in pakistan.Per hour net conection cost me 10 Pakistani rupees which is 0.6 american dollars.Dsl is 1000 rupees per month.Mobile phones and services are very good,a student can easily enjoy cell with gprs and data services.
these are some things which came to my mind.Cheaper in Pakistan than rest of the world.
