What information and help do international students need in their life and study after coming to Melbourne?

18 Things to pay attention to when coming to Melbourne.

1。 Buy a map. Students with cars watch Merve, while students without cars watch smaller ones called street directories. The mailing cost is about 8 yuan. You don't need to buy the latest version. Take a good look and study hard. A classmate asked you what map you want to learn. I want to say that knowledge of maps can be great. Think for yourself.

2。 City. Many friends who have just arrived here feel very quiet. My advice to you is to take the train to the city around 8: 00 and feel the people at work, especially the longest elevator in the parliament. By the way, don't go to the city for nothing, see that every site has a free newspaper? It's MX, and it's everywhere on the train. Another classmate said, what's good about free newspapers? I might as well spend two yuan to buy a copy, OK, UP2U, but the weight and quality of the newspapers collected here are the same, that is, the words are heavy, which will definitely become a kind of psychology for students who want to learn English and understand life here. So I say MX is a good learning resource, which integrates entertainment, sports, culture and information. You should look carefully and remember it. Believe me, this is a process of accumulation. Similarly, there are free Chinese newspapers in front of the grocery store in China, and newspapers similar to LEADER are delivered free of charge in the community. Freshmen should make good use of these resources and at least find a part-time job.

3。 Vico. Students, do you have any plans to buy a car? Many students must say not in the near future. But I think whether you want to learn to drive here or buy a car, it is necessary for you to take a driving license. Why? Just because this certificate has your address and birthday, it can be used as an ID card. You don't like shopping with your passport on your back for a long time. News organizations sell school supplies. You can ask for a brochure in Chinese. I don't know how much it costs now, around 20 yuan. Then call VICROADS immediately,131171,and make an appointment for the exam at the nearest test center. What, you don't know which one is near you? Your map. . . .

4。 Traffic. Students, when there is no car, how do you usually go out for activities? Take a taxi? . . . I pour the wine. . . . Ok, don't look at this part. . . I'm talking about trains, cars and trams. Everyone must make good use of these public resources. There are many skills to grab tickets, such as playing until 3 am after 6 o'clock. Ten tickets can be played twice on the same day, which is equivalent to a daily ticket. Trains, cars and trams run everywhere. Everyone must adapt to the schedule. I don't know why it is rare now. Maybe the transportation company can save money. You can go to METLINK's website and check the train tickets at various ticket outlets. Don't evade tickets, especially friends who want to immigrate. Be a disciplined boy, but there are many ways and skills to build a car. If you want to know more, please send me an email. . . Ha ha. Oh, great! ! If you spend only 2.50 yuan on Sunday, you can buy SUDAYSAVER, which can cross the region. Don't say I didn't remind you ~ tickets larger than weekly tickets can also cross the region on weekends.

5。 Library. This wife, wife, wife is too important! ! ! ! You must find the library around you. The sooner the better. Just soak in it when you have time. Of course, borrowing books is free. Remember to bring your ID card and bill when you open the card. What? Why Bill? . . Because he wants your address, but if he doesn't want it, ask for one from a friend. There are many libraries in chinese magazine now, such as those near St Kilda, Prahan, malvin and bocks Hill. Needless to say, it's our China territory, and it's a library that individuals have been to. There are more Next Weekly and Oriental Weekly in St Kilda. The local magazine in Glen Eris Library is the latest, the CD is the best, but Clayton's is even worse. However, everyone is still close to home.

6。 I don't know if everyone has the conditions. If you want to learn English, watching TV is very important. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. This is a necessary process. This project. . . More importantly, find your favorite program. It doesn't look tired, but I don't care about any programs, as long as there is a topic. American dramas such as heroes are older than your online dramas, but after all, they are on TV without Chinese subtitles. Just watch the fun. If you show them, they are closest to life in Australia, but it may take time to adapt. I like to go for a walk on Sunday. There is also the "Amazing Race" that was broadcast irregularly before. Five and a half free, ABC, 7, 9, 10, SBS, 3 1. Unless you have FOXTEL.

7。 Broadcast. This classmate with a car will have more say. When you listen to the phone, there are more music, FM and AM. When you go to work in the morning, that is, from 7: 00 to 9: 00, when you get off work, all major FM also have their own strong programs. You can listen to them, which is quite funny. After 9 pm, 10 1. 1 There is a LOV song dedicated, and the male anchor has a loud voice. . . . Listen if you don't believe me.

8。 No matter how fine the weather is, take an umbrella when you go out. This is my advice to you.

9。 Cell phone. I don't know which company you use. I think my friends around me use 3G more, so it's cheaper for everyone to make phone calls. For me, in addition to 500 minutes of free calls per month, there is another advantage of using 3G, that is, I applied for XSERIES. What do you mean? I can surf MSN anytime, anywhere with my mobile phone, watch YOUTUBE with SKYPE, and of course I can surf the Internet. I can also plug in the computer like a cat.

10。 Network. Needless to say, gifted students will teach themselves. In China, I like to use Baidu to learn what I don't understand. Here, au.yahoo.com people know and can learn a lot.

1 1。 Shopping. Have the freshmen heard of Chastain? If you haven't been there, look around on a Sunday, and then don't talk about Australian soil. In fact, there are quite a lot of good things. Find a shopping mall that is too close to you, but even if I don't have a car, all the major shopping malls have basically turned around. Another advantage is that I can find a job in PT time. Knox is bigger than Chastain. On Linwood's side, it is only suitable for students in the east. Then south, higher, and so on, much the same. If you don't like the MALL, you can just stroll around. It's quite distinctive. The shops near COLLINS ST boutique street, ST KILDA and BRUNSWICK RD in the city are all very artistic in Australia, and there are many homosexuals. Homosexuality represents the trend, church street, needless to say, a street that hipsters must visit. If you don't like shopping and shopping malls, the Sunday market may suit you, so I recommend the one next to Cumberville Railway Station, where I often set up stalls. Last week, when I was setting up a stall, I saw Chen. I called out his name, which really surprised him. He and Rene Liu came to make a movie.

12。 Crown. What can I say, this decadence, lewdness, depravity and luxury. . . . What other words can you think of? Use them. Let's feel it. In fact, there are many famous brands in it. Students with rice and 18+ can go to the casino to try their luck and gamble a little. . . Think for yourself.

13。 Aquarium, zoo, museum, art gallery. . . Of course, these are not free. For students who have just come here and have time and leisure, they can be targeted. Want to be free, major parks, where I used to live, I open the door, it is Caulfield Park, a favorite park. Later, I heard that it is a place where Australians like to take pictures when they get married.

14。 Eat it. Well, I don't think anyone can say that they have a say, because when you come to Australia, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the delicious food from different countries, and the taste will vary from person to person. I can only recommend my kind heart, Tonghe, next to the Helmsgren railway station. The students studying here have a good time, as well as their oily chicken. . . . . Wow ~ it's better than the BOXHILL. It often happens that you go late and have no food. Throw a brick to attract jade, and everyone will expand this theme indefinitely.

15。 The bank. I have used ANZ, Common Wealth, National, and HSBC. The famous ones are Westpac Bank, Citibank, St. George (suddenly unable to spell it out-_-), Queensland Bank, and Westbank. The interest rate is relatively high, Western Australia, with 6. 8%, it is online, which means it is associated with the account.

Comparatively speaking, in fact, banks have the most products, fierce competition and dazzling, which is very different from domestic ones. For most students, the online savings of HSBC is the most used one, and the interest rate is not that high. It seems that the deposit of more than 2000 yuan is 4. 75%, I'm a current account, too. EBAY and BPAY have been using this all the time, and I'm used to it. I withdraw money from the bank five times a month, and then withdraw it, an unlimited supermarket. By the way, in fact, students don't have to wait until they have a student ID. They can let her do it first, and then show it to her when they have a student ID card. The purpose of the student ID card, for example, there is a transaction fee in 5 yuan per month, which is the service fee, so that students can live. By the way, I suddenly thought of a big problem. . . This is the tax bill number.

16。 Tax number. This is so important that it should be written in the front! ! Unlike in China, you have to apply for this number when you come to Australia. No matter what your status is, you can apply for a work visa urgently, because it will be convenient to apply at school. The tax number is a very important thing, whether it is a bank or when looking for a job in the future. It will be your life number, because the fiscal year here is from July to June, and the tax refund time is between July and 10. I'm going to start the tax refund now. If I work, the boss will deduct some money from my salary and give it to the government. For PR, the annual income does not exceed 6,000 yuan, and the government will refund the deducted money to you in July.

Bank interest also counts as income. If the tax number is not provided to the bank, it will be levied at the highest tax rate of nearly 50%, which is a punishment. You know, in capitalist countries, only two things are the most certain, one is death, and the other is tax (there is a Toyota in the advertisement now, gosh). The application address of the tax number is in the tax bureau. Can you find the immigration office in this city? Get off at parliament by train, take a long elevator (mentioned above) and look around. You will find a counter at different entrance floors of the same building of the Immigration Bureau. A friend reminds you that you can also apply online, so go to the website of the tax bureau and have a look. You don't even have to go out.

17。 Local supermarket. The difference between Australia and other countries is that world-class supermarkets can't enter Australia. At least I haven't seen Wal-Mart or Carrefour. Don't believe it, Australians still recognize things like OZ manufacturing or OZ growth, especially when eating. Every time you buy a bean, you should ask whether it was planted in Australia. If you say "import from California", you may get a "think about it" reply. It's a little far-fetched Generally speaking, there are only two monopolized supermarkets, COLES and SAFEWAY (other states are called Woolworths). Here, I want to emphasize the significance of Coles in particular. I remember when I first came, a good classmate used Kingsoft to check its meaning, and the result was staggering. . I think he is just a surname here, thank you. If you want to ask me which thing is cheaper, I really don't know. You have to check the pamphlets distributed every week in your mailbox. By the way, I found that food, especially fruit, is much more expensive than when I first came, but clothes are cheaper every year. By the way, Coles will ask you "FLYBUY?" When I first came, I was confused by this. It's actually a bonus card. The application is free and of little use. Siffway wouldn't do that. Then when using the card, both companies will ask you "cash out?" This is useful. When you don't want to withdraw money from other banks, the best way is to go to the supermarket to buy something casually and cash it out. Finally, if the receipt exceeds 30 yuan, it will automatically generate a discount ticket for the gas station, and go to the designated gas station to refuel, saving about two yuan. Other supermarkets are small in scale, such as IGA, which is known as the "local hero", and ALDI, a German giant who failed to expand the Australian market. Not many people have really heard of it. Because there is no service, things are cheap. Just go and have a look. Very funny. I have only been to South Asia.

18。 Chinese supermarket++milk bar. This is really a dime a dozen, especially the milk bar, which is basically occupied by China people. A supermarket in China should actually be called a grocery store. As long as there are people living in China, there will be several distinctive ones, such as Tian Tian in BOXHILL, China, Japan and Korea in PP and CITY (what's the name? ), Clayton Hong Kong Store, CHAPLE ST's Vietnam Store, GLENFERRY's Indonesia Store, etc. . . Things are different. I found that with the recent influx of Koreans, more and more Korean grocery stores have sprung up. . . . Remember to get the free Chinese newspaper.
