What should international students bring when they come to Singapore for the first time?

Singapore is a country with a tropical maritime climate, only 130 km from the equator. The annual average temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, and it is summer all the year round. Therefore, there is no need to carry autumn and winter clothes.

Of course, there are all kinds of daily necessities in Singapore, but in order to save money, we can bring more necessities from China, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, washing powder, notebooks, paper and so on. But don't be overweight. International flights stipulate that each passenger can't check more than 20 kilograms of luggage for free, and the excess freight is quite expensive. Baggage preparation before going to Singapore

The checked baggage on the plane is 20 kilograms, preferably no more than 25 kilograms. You can take more carry-on luggage, but not too heavy. (* * highly recommended) towel quilt ** 1 buckwheat skin pillow ** 1 bed sheet ** 2-3 towels ** 3 slippers * * 1- I soon found that one pair is absolutely not enough! ! Toothbrush ** 1 toothpaste ** 1 dental pot * * 1- It's not necessary. The NTUC 1 yuan cup is so cute! Shampoo 1 nail clipper 1 comb 1 folding umbrella ** 1 sunglasses 1 (optional) myopia glasses 1-2 (if you are nearsighted) water cup ** 1 alarm clock/kloc. Sandals ** 1 (at least) sports shoes 1 (if you like sports)-if you don't have them, don't buy them on purpose, because Adidas/Nike in Singapore is so cheap and the style is specially designed. Breathable shoes 1 (maximum) shorts 2-3 cotton short-sleeved shirts ** 2 light-colored jeans 1-2 light-colored casual pants 1-2 trousers 1 (maximum) belt 1 Lite Webster 1 (depending on your own situation)

Supplement: In terms of clothes, Singapore is very cheap and the style is very special, so you don't need to buy it in China. (except underwear and sportswear) If you change money, it is very convenient to change new coins. Don't change many new coins at once. Books in Singapore are absolutely expensive! Stationery is also expensive! Get a long-sleeved dress, the kind you wear in autumn! Because in many places, air conditioning is like winter! If you come to tutor/Asst.p, that pile of high-grade shirts and ties is indispensable! (Ladies want more professional clothes) Please bring more toothbrushes, it's so expensive here! (Of course, it doesn't matter if you use Oral b 12 RMB in China. Drugs: cold medicine, fever medicine, diarrhea medicine, dermatological medicine, cooling oil, toilet water, band-aid, and other personal medicines. You can prepare some vitamins and digestion tablets to prevent indigestion caused by acclimatization. The medical expenses in Singapore are quite expensive, and the commonly used drugs are well prepared. But don't eat too much, because a considerable number of drugs may have passed the shelf life before use. In addition, for people with weak physique (especially girls), due to the large latitude span, various physiological obstacles are likely to appear. If possible, you can bring some nursed back to health drugs or supplements. Bedding: Generally, there are mattresses for accommodation here, and other bedding can be purchased locally. If you bring it from China, it is recommended to have two sets of pillowcases and sheets (standard pillowcases 45x70cm) and one or two towels. You can also bring a mat if it is convenient. You can buy pillows here. You don't need to bring a mosquito net. Learning tools: In the past, many students brought Wenquxing (electronic dictionary). You can consider carrying it, but you can't rely too much. You can also bring an English-Chinese or Ying Ying dictionary. Other scientific dictionaries are of little use (Kingsoft can be used after buying a computer in the future). In order to prevent the deterioration of Chinese proficiency, we can choose Xinhua Dictionary or Modern Chinese Dictionary. You can prepare some books on novels, advanced mathematics and computer programming, and read them in your spare time while learning English. Writing tools can be well prepared in China (locals rarely use pens). Small electrical appliances: Singapore's (imported) small electrical appliances are very cheap. It is better to buy walkman, CD walkman, camera and computer accessories in Singapore. Food: According to personal taste, you can bring some hot sauce, pickles, snacks and so on. Many Singaporeans may not.
