What are the precautions from Jinan to Australia?

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, 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.
