Raiders of foreign workers carrying luggage-Africa (1)

Hello, everyone, I'm from Chu, and I'm abroad.

For many compatriots who work abroad for the first time, they don't know the customs and climate of the country they are going to because they have never been abroad. That I don't know what to bring and what not to bring.

In order to solve the worries and doubts of some compatriots who are going to work abroad or in the future, I share some basic items that should be brought when working abroad, so that everyone can have a reference and hope to help friends who go abroad.

(A baggage list will be attached at the end of the article. )

This paper focuses on countries near Central Africa. Africa's climate is hot, close to the equatorial line, with high temperature all year round. The full text introduces that the luggage carried is the most basic thing to ensure a simple trip.

First, the clothing category

(1) pants

Prepare two pairs of trousers to wear when going to work or going out, mainly with summer fabrics. Breathable, comfortable, light and thin, the style is selected according to your own preferences. If you have special work needs, bring your own pants, such as trousers and work pants, according to the nature of the work.

② coat

Prepare two short sleeves to wear when going to work or going out at ordinary times, mainly with summer fabrics. Pure cotton, sweat absorption, comfort-oriented. Choose styles according to your own preferences. If you have special work needs, bring your own coat, such as suit, shirt and tie, according to the nature of the work.

(3) Sunscreen clothing

Prepare two kinds of sunscreen, breathable, comfortable, light and thin, and choose the style according to your own preferences. Personally, I suggest that sunscreen clothing is a must. The sunshine and ultraviolet rays here are extremely strong. According to my actual living conditions here, I am easy to get sunburned and tanned. For people who pay attention to skin care or whitening, this is simply unbearable.

(4) Underwear and socks

Free choice, according to your favorite brands and preferences, it is generally recommended to bring 3-4 pairs (strips) each, which is almost enough.

(5) shoes

Wear a pair on your feet and a pair on your suitcase. Suggest a pair of casual shoes and a pair of sports shoes. If you need to wear leather shoes for work, bring a pair of leather shoes.

6. hats

Mainly based on sun hats, it is necessary to prepare for sun protection. If the style is mainly in summer, you can choose a cap or a round cap. I personally recommend the round hat, which can better protect the neck from the sun. Men can choose camouflage round hats, and women can choose casual round hats.

(7) glasses

Sunshade glasses are still the mainstay. For those who often have to be outdoors, bring a sunshade. The weather in Africa is usually sunny and the air quality is good, so the sunshine is very strong. Wearing a parasol will be much more comfortable and can protect your eyes from dizziness caused by long-term stimulation.

Second, the life class

(1) Cosmetics

You can buy a set of travel washing bags on Taobao, which is very convenient, complete and easy to carry. Basically, you should have everything, so don't worry about taking up luggage space. You can freely match according to your own needs. If a lady has cosmetics, she can also buy a storage bag, which is convenient for sorting and sorting, as far as possible, and does not take up too much luggage space.

(2) Nail clippers

It is recommended to buy a nail clipper set, which is very compact and easy to carry. The key is that the tools are also complete. It takes up no space and is convenient when needed.

(3) Charging treasure

Basically, these are all necessary things for going out to work or travel. Choose a capacity below 20,000 mA, otherwise you can't get on the plane.

(4) water cup

Friends who like drinking tea or boiling water can choose thermos cups. Friends who don't have this need can choose their own style. The selection of capacity is generally around 500ml- 1000ml. The ultimate goal of the cup is to hold water, especially when going out, it is very important to replenish water at any time.

(5) slippers

I suggest you take a pair of slippers. Don't bother. There will still be a lot of time and scenes to use.

Third, drugs.

As we all know, the medical conditions in Africa are relatively poor, so it is beneficial to keep some basic drugs. I suggest buying a medical storage bag for storing conventional medicines.

They are all packed in storage bags, which are convenient to carry and use.

(1) Take about 2 boxes of diarrhea medicine. For the choice of drugs, you can go to the local pharmacy for purchase and consultation.

(2) Take cold medicine about 1 box. For the choice of drugs, you can go to the local pharmacy for purchase and consultation.

(3) Take painkillers about 1 box. Suggestion: ibuprofen sustained-release capsules.

(4) Take about 3 boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs. Amoxicillin and cephalosporin can be used.

(5) If you buy 2 boxes of Band-Aids (about 10-20), you can go to the local drugstore for consultation.

1 box of disposable sterile cotton swabs (iodine or alcohol) are available in Taobao or pharmacies.

(7) 2 boxes of drugs for treating oral ulcer. For the choice of drugs, you can go to the local pharmacy for purchase and consultation.

(8) Disposable alcohol cotton pads 1 box (which can be used on the plane and disinfected at ordinary times) are available in Taobao or pharmacies.

(9) It is recommended to supplement vitamins. Available in Taobao or drugstore (recommended "easy storage" multi-dimensional element tablets)

(10) Buy about 10-20 packs of acarpal powder (commonly known as "headache powder"). Taobao or pharmacies sell them. Explain why you bought this medicine. This medicine can relieve toothache, muscle pain, headache, fever and other symptoms, and the effect is remarkable. I often encounter headaches, brain fever and toothache in Africa.

Let me explain to you that these drugs are carried in response to emergencies and can be used when solving small problems by yourself. The medical conditions in Africa are poor, and many medicines are not convenient to buy. These commonly used drugs are basically available. In addition, if you have other essential drugs about your own chronic diseases, you should choose the quantity to carry according to your own situation.

Basically, all the above standing medicines are ready, and any minor problems can be solved, treated and alleviated. You still have to go to the hospital if you are seriously ill.

Fourth, other categories.

(1) electronic products

(1) If you bring a computer or tablet, you need two more data cables. Shopping here is expensive, and many accessories are not easy to buy. I suggest just bringing something related to electronic products. Whether it is tablet, computer, mobile phone, watch, earphone, etc. As long as it needs to be recharged, prepare one more. In addition, watches and headphones need to be carried according to their own needs.

(2) The mobile phone can be equipped with a spare mobile phone (standby). When you come abroad, you can use the local mobile phone card, but the domestic card can still receive SMS or phone calls, provided that the international roaming service is opened. For those who need SMS verification code, it is very convenient to have a spare mobile phone plugged into a domestic card and only receive SMS. )

(2) Entertainment and leisure

(1) Those who like reading can bring two favorite books, and students with research and learning needs can't fall behind. After all, reading still has many benefits.

(2) Computers (or tablets or computers) can download some songs or movies (you can watch them when you are bored), and many domestic apps cannot be used abroad, which involves copyright issues. Often many songs or movies can't be played, so you can reserve some appropriately. Of course, there are other solutions. Leave a message in the comments section.

(3) Other articles

(1) Powder washing, tableware, clothes hangers, etc. Decide whether to carry them. Because everyone's needs are different, people who like to live more conveniently can choose to bring them; If life is simple, you can take it away temporarily. If you choose to carry it, try to choose something small and light. Besides, you can also choose to buy these things locally. As for the price, it's a bit expensive. If there is a unit that allocates them, you can choose not to take them when you leave. After all, the less things you carry when you go out, the better.

(2) If you like tea, bring about 1kg of tea (black tea, green tea or other favorite). I want to tell you that these things can also be bought locally, but the price will be much more expensive than that in China. Therefore, I suggest you take all the basic necessities. Of course, you can choose not to bring or drink.

(3) Generally about two (the number allowed by the customs is two. If found by the customs, you may have to pay taxes. ) I suggest quitting smoking if possible. It's good for your health.

Ok, that's all for today's sharing. If you have any questions, please leave a message in the comments section. I'll get back to you as soon as I see it

If you like it, and it's not bad, I hope you can like it, comment on it, collect it, or give it to friends and relatives in need for a rainy day.
