What do I need to prepare for going to Australia for 2 months?

Brisbane lies a little south of the Tropic of Capricorn. There are almost no cold days all year round, and the sunshine is bright, with an average sunshine time of 7.5 hours, so it is also called the "sunshine capital"

This is the most comprehensive information I have found. .

One: preparation for departure

1. Daily necessities:

Forget it, mention the weather in Australia. Although there is no winter in Australia, it is not what people think. In summer, the outdoor temperature is not high but the radiation is strong. Don't be exposed to the sun for a long time, otherwise it will induce skin cancer. The room is cool and sometimes it feels cold. It is incredible that Australian families basically have no air conditioning. If you, like me, think that a towel quilt is enough in summer, then you will suffer. It's really cold at night, so a thin quilt is essential. This is the case only in Sydney.

2. Electronic products:

A. mobile phone: it's more expensive here than in China, and the style is backward. It's still cost-effective to buy a mobile phone to surf the Internet in China, otherwise it's free to sign a contract here, but there will be many restrictions, and the price is not cost-effective. Or you can buy a lousy mobile phone and a card, just like China's trip to China, but the unit price is expensive. There are many charging standards here, some are free online time for the first 20 minutes, and some are weekend discounts. Be sure to read the terms clearly anyway.

B.computers: computers here are quite cheap. Desktop 1000 yuan is very good. Notebooks are cheaper than domestic ones (especially brand-name machines), such as ibm, Compaq and Toshiba. It's quite good to buy around 3000 Australian dollars, and the after-sales service is also good. During the warranty period, no matter what hardware is broken, it is replaced free of charge, and some have anti-theft insurance. But the gadgets here are quite expensive, and the worst mouse is 10 yuan. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to bring small peripheral devices such as mouse, speaker and camera. Maybe if you bring more mice.

3. Documents and foreign exchange:

Copy several important documents and take them with you just in case.

B. Foreign exchange: China Bank can directly remit it to the school account, and the handling fee is very small, and RMB 6,543,800+only needs 200 yuan. Don't worry about other cards. If not, bring your own. It's okay. No matter whether it's China or Australia, it's convenient and flexible to change money by yourself after the past.

4. Luggage:

Some people are always afraid of not enough, but there is no need to worry at all. Ordinary luggage is 20,23 23...kg, while hand luggage is 10 kg. In fact, you can take a lot of things, even more than checked baggage. Do not believe you carry a big bag. If it is a boy, you can carry a backpack (girls don't try it), at least 10 kg. You can also carry a small box or laptop in your hand and put some temporary clothes in plastic bags, which can be installed on the plane.

Two: entering the customs

People always ask whether to take the green channel or the red channel. The answer is that the red channel is safer. If you bring too much contraband, report foreign currency or unimportant things, it is easy to release them. But the green one is not necessarily, it depends on luck. However, if you check it carefully, you will open any photo album and so on.

The first few days:

Generally, there will always be friends or landlords to pick you up, which is nothing more than saving money, opening an account, registering at school, buying things, and asking if you don't understand. When you exchange foreign currency, you should pay attention to the different exchange rates of banks in Australia, and you must shop around. And the exchange rate always fluctuates, so don't change it at once, otherwise ... I just didn't understand it at that time, 0. 52xx was changed, and it fell by 0 in a few days. 50xx, a total loss of 1, 000 Australian dollars, it hurts to think about it. But there is no foreign currency savings in Australia, and it is not safe to carry a lot of dollars with you. Decide for yourself. There are foreign currency deposits in China Bank Road here, but the 2% handling fee is very expensive.

Learning:

There's no need to be afraid of majors. It is convenient to change majors on campus. Foreigners are very reasonable as long as you give just reasons. However, it should be noted that popular majors may be full, which is not acceptable. For example, in unsw where I am located, it is said that computers and accountants are overcrowded, so we must start early, but everything else is generally OK. Is it necessary to take a Chinese class? It's different. If you don't read, you don't read. First, the tuition is expensive, more than 200 Australian dollars a week. Second, you can't learn anything unless you want to make some friends. Is it necessary to study IT or something when choosing a major? The three people who live with me now are all computer majors. Except one who has ibm working experience in China and found a computer-related job here, the others are either waiters or have not found a job (both refer to temporary holidays). Now the economy here is depressed, and it is hard to find a job. In addition, there are too many people studying computer, 90% of them are from China. However, the economy may not be good until you graduate. Anyway, learning the major well is promising even if you can't go back to China.

Driver's license:

The domestic driver's license can be translated in the designated place here, but it is strongly recommended to take the local learner's driver's license. Because Australian driver's license, like bank account number, is the most commonly used identification document, it is ok, convenient and safe to use it in many places where he needs a passport. If you immigrate in the future, you can take a permanent driver's license directly, in one step. Make an appointment for the knowledge test 30 yuan in the local rta office, and then go back to the Internet to look at the examination questions, one ***300 questions, from which 45 questions will be selected, which is very simple. 25 yuan (Chinese), but you can read it online without buying it. The exam is also in Chinese, but the online questions are all in English, so it is just as easy to choose English. I'll take your picture after passing, and you'll get the card in ten minutes, 15, and then it's over.

Daily necessities:

Thick quilt (it's cold in midsummer night, absolutely necessary)

Blankets (available in hot weather, covered with quilts in winter)

2 sheets, 2 quilt covers and 2 pillowcases,

Pillows take up too much space. I suggest you buy it. The cheapest here is 5 Australian dollars each.

Several hangers, two trouser racks and a hanger for drying socks.

One hair dryer and three cups (one plastic for brushing teeth, one plastic for drinking water and one ceramic).

An alarm clock according to personal needs (I brought two)

Photo frame 1 (adding family atmosphere) desk calendar 1.

2 pairs of sunglasses, 2 umbrellas,

Cosmetic mirror 1 schoolbag, leisure bag 1 digital camera 1

Bring more toothbrushes (one for every 3 months) and toothpaste.

Shampoo and shower gel (soap) are used as soon as one bottle is used. It is very cheap when the price is reduced here, and some of them are of better quality and more affordable than domestic ones.

Take more napkins, paper, toothpicks 1 bottle, cotton swabs 1 bag, a sewing kit and 2 soap boxes.

Washing powder can last for a long time without 4kg of 4 Australian dollars here.

Always bring laundry soap (socks will interfere with the washing machine unless you never do your own laundry)

1 Flat-bottomed non-stick pan (actually, you can do without it. There are three sets of pans in the supermarket here, as long as 10 Australian dollars. There's really no need to bring it all the way)

Soup pot is not needed (there are soup pot and steamer sets made in China, but the price is moderate).

Shovel for cooking, rice cooker (there is also a small A $ 15 if necessary),

Spoon, spoon, stainless steel spoon, spoon, knife.

2 plastic lunch boxes, 3 plates and 2 rice bowls.

3 plastic wrap, 2 bags of plastic wrap,

Multifunctional kitchen knife, apron, two pairs of waterproof gloves and 1 rag.

Electrical appliances:

1 watch, small alarm clock.

You'd better bring a digital camera. It's expensive to develop photos here, so it's more convenient to use numbers. You can send it back to China at any time for your family and classmates to enjoy.

The universal patch panel should be brought, and all our electrical appliances can only be plugged into the patch panel. And a socket converter.

Girls can bring hair dryers.

Kitchenware:

1 rice cooker

2 seasoning

Stationery:

Take 1 pen according to your own needs. Ballpoint pens are generally used here, but there is no requirement that some places must be signed with pens and signature pens. Actually, the pens here are not expensive either.

It's best to take several folders with one punch. In this way, all the notes are just written on paper, and you can make a hole and put it in the folder when you come back. Each class has a folder, arranged in chronological order, which is very clear and tidy.

If you like good books, take them with you. If you don't have it, like I said, punch holes in the paper and put it in the folder!

Take a dictionary for example, it is a dictionary of books. Don't think that it's OK to have a Kingsoft on the computer and a literary star around you. You can bring a dictionary to the exam here, but only if your own country's language is converted into English. All electronic dictionaries and professional dictionaries can't be brought. Dictionaries must be clean and have nothing written by themselves. Otherwise, you will be suspected of cheating and have to go to court.

The floppy disk here is not expensive, but it seems to be cheaper than the domestic one. It's okay without it. But you can bring a USB flash drive.

Take a big bag if you can. You always carry a big bag when you go to class. Small bags are not practical! You can also buy it here, Nike, puma and so on.

As for books, it is impossible to buy new books here. It is very expensive. You can buy some professional Chinese books to read and take with you. I believe it will be helpful then.

Bedclothes:

Generally, middle school accommodation is equipped with a set, so you don't need to bring it. The university brought two sets by itself, so don't worry when changing clothes.

Toilet products:

1 towels, it is best to bring all of them. It's expensive and ugly here. Small square towel, the cheapest, or 1 pound, very rough.

Eyebrow scissors for girls' makeup. Remember never to put it in your carry-on luggage when you get on the plane, but put it in a big checked box. When I came, I was told that there were scissors in my bag and I had to take them out, so I had to stay at the airport at last. My classmate, like me, lost the scissors. It's really strange that there are eyebrow clippers and razors in the same cosmetic bag. They said nothing but scissors!

Basic skin care products and cosmetics are available here, and the prices are similar to or cheaper than those in China. I only brought my travel clothes and bought them in a big supermarket.

Toothbrushes are quite expensive, so you can take them with you.

Others:

Remember to bring enough medicine for contact lenses. It's expensive here.

The "rookie" broke through many difficulties and finally got a visa on the other side of the ocean! Ni Wei, a former "rookie", said: When I got my visa, my mind was blank, and only one voice was shouting "I can go abroad". When he calmed down, he found that he knew very little about where he was going, so superficial. Now working in Zhong Rui International Education Service Co., Ltd., he recalls: "Now that I think about it, if someone gave me some advice there, there wouldn't be so many jokes." Ni Wei once immigrated to New Zealand and Australia. When she first wanted to go abroad, she weighed 80 kilograms. So that friends who work at the airport have to persuade him to come up with something. On second thought, Ni Wei only took out a pillow. Later, he discovered that pillows are not expensive in the local area and the quality is better than that in China. The dozens of cotton sweaters, heavy books, electric irons and hair dryers he took with him were of little value, because these things were either useless or not expensive in the local area. On the contrary, the slippers, patch panels, telephones and nail clippers I didn't bring are not cheap abroad. Ni Wei's slippers, which cost more than 30 yuan locally, are not as good as those sold in Shanghai.

File category

There must be no mistakes in things related to personal life.

Passport; The formal admission notice and tuition receipt of the school; Ticket, don't forget to confirm the flight; Passport photo,12; Original transcript of the school, IELTS or TOEFL; Driver's license, if any; Birth notarization; Notarization of academic qualifications; Copies of important documents; Copy of previous application documents (floppy disk or CD); Favorite photos, if any.

Category of daily necessities

If you plan to share a house with your classmates, remember to bring enough slippers and kitchen supplies.

Shoes (2 ~ 4 pairs, comfortable is better); Socks (1 dozen, durable, pure cotton); Underwear (4 sets); Slippers (a pair of plastic and cotton); Hygienic products (specifically for girls); Needle box (no need to bring it, you can always ask someone to help you); Comb; Towel, toothbrush and toothpaste (1 set); Thermos cup; Finger scissors; Lunch box (better sealing); 4 pairs of chopsticks and 2 spoons; Bedsheet, quilt cover, pillowcase, pillow; Clothes hangers (several); Rainproof windbreaker; Multifunctional Swiss army knife.

Electrical class

Drag board is more important than anything else, because foreign power sockets are three major items, which are inconsistent with many domestic electrical specifications.

Three pairs of two plugs (2 ~ 3); Drag plate (2 pieces); Rechargeable battery (4 ~ 8 sections) and charger; Notebook computer (preferably equipped with DVD drive) or host accessories (chassis, monitor, etc.). Will be solved locally); Electric cooker (if you plan to live by yourself); Mobile phone (dual frequency or triple frequency); Camera (digital one is more suitable); Alarm clock; Telephone line (3 ~ 5 meters) and mouse (I have a hobby); Telephone (bought in China is really good and cheap); Electronic dictionary (required).

eyeglasses

Short-sighted glasses (except those currently worn 1 pair); Contact lenses (if any); Two pairs of sunglasses; 6 boxes of eye drops (3 boxes of anti-fatigue and 3 boxes of antibiotics); Two bottles of nursing liquid.

medicine

Cold medicine, Huanglian Shangqing Pill, Spiramycin.

(toothache prevention), Piyanping (insect bite treatment), Yunnan Baiyao, cooling oil, essential balm, watermelon frost spray, antibiotics (Xianfeng, etc. ).

Note: If you have other conventional tonics, you can take them with you, but don't bring Chinese herbal medicines (which can be made into medicines) to avoid trouble in entering the customs. When the dosage of antibiotics or other specific drugs is large, it is best to attach a doctor's diagnosis to explain it.

Books

My suggestion is to bring as little as possible.

A durable and beautiful schoolbag; Professional dictionary; English dictionary; Favorite leisure books or magazines (1 ~ 3)

stationery

Signature pen, signature refill, mechanical pencil+refill, glue stick, scissors, stapler, post-it note, transparent adhesive, erasing tape, etc. As these items are low-value consumables, it won't cost much to buy them locally, so I suggest you keep them safe.

Clothing category

Thermal underwear, thick sweater, long short-sleeved T-shirt, jeans, trousers, casual pants, summer shorts, waterproof coat, down jacket, tie, belt, long short-sleeved shirt, sportswear, swimming trunks, winter gloves, etc. Need to remind you whether to bring more winter clothes or summer clothes depends on the average temperature of the country you are going to. You don't need to bring them all. Please give me your advice.

The list of the above eight categories is just my reference, please decide according to your actual situation!

What you must master before you leave.

Before departure, it is best to know the situation through various channels, such as the internet, friends, classmates and intermediary companies. Here are some common sense to tell you:

-Pay attention to the amount of cash you carry with you: According to general foreign customs regulations, if the amount of foreign currency you carry with you exceeds the local currency 10000 yuan, you must declare it. China Customs also has regulations on the amount of US dollars and RMB carried by people leaving the country. China residents can take RMB 6,000 in cash when they leave the country, and foreign currency cash is equivalent to US$ 2,000. Without the certificate of currency carrying issued by banks and foreign exchange management departments, passengers are not allowed to carry more than the limit without authorization under any circumstances.

-Pay attention to the weight of carry-on luggage: the general ticket indicates that passengers can check in 20 kilograms of luggage. Usually when there are few passengers, the airline will allow 25 kilograms as appropriate. But it can't be too outrageous. I heard that a student's carry-on luggage weighed 65 kilograms when he left the country. After being fined by the airline, he took it out on the agent who handled the children going abroad.

You'd better have a physical examination before you leave, so that you can know your physical condition and get rid of some expensive treatments abroad, such as filling your teeth.

-Please be careful not to carry a fruit knife and some spray in your carry-on luggage to avoid going through the security check.

When you are about to leave for a completely strange country, homesickness is inevitable. Here, I advise you to bring more entertaining CDs, such as music, games, DVDs or VCDs, which can help you pass the time and make more friends in the local area (those things are expensive in the local area, but players will ...)
