1. Shopping

Melbourne's main shopping centers are located on Burke Street and Collins Street. Melbourne Central Shopping Mall is one of the largest retail shopping malls in Australia, with about 200 stores. Church Street and Toorak Road in South Yena have the most luxurious boutiques in Melbourne. Bridge Road and Swan Street in Richmond are the best places to buy Australian fashion. In addition, the main markets are Queen Victoria Market, St Kilda Market, victorian arts centre Market and Meat Market Technology Center. Major department stores such as Mayer and david jones are concentrated in Booker Street and Swanton Street.

In Australia, where to buy things is very particular. There are many kinds of shopping malls in Australia, and "small shops" are the most expensive. These places are not the concept of street shops in China. Every day we pass by such a shop. From the glass of the shop, there are bound to be ladies sipping coffee slowly. They are all rich people. Some customers are regular customers, and the shopkeeper already knows what they need, including the size of clothes. After going in, the clerk will bring it and wrap it. Usually go to the supermarket or Chinatown.

Step 2 transport

Melbourne is one of Australia's transportation centers, with a complete network of trams, buses and trains indoors and in the suburbs.

There are flights from Beijing to Melbourne in Chinese mainland, and the airlines that open these routes are China International Airlines and Australian Anse Airlines. After arriving in Melbourne, it takes about 50 minutes from Melbourne to Canberra, about 1 hour to Sydney and about 2 hours to Brisbane. The best way to get to and from the airport and the city center is by bus, one way 10 Australian dollars; It takes about 25 Australian dollars to go to the city center by taxi, and it takes about 20 minutes one way.

Melbourne's Tulamarine Airport is 20 kilometers north of the city. The arrival hall of international routes is located on the first floor of the airport building, and the departure hall of international routes is located on the second floor of the airport building. Around the international route hall are the domestic route halls of Qantas and Acet Airlines respectively. The international arrival hall is equipped with facilities such as banks, luggage storage areas, counters of Qantas and Ansys Airlines. The airport is about 25-35 minutes away from the city. The departure tax for international flights at the airport is 27 Australian dollars.

Melbourne has two main railway stations. Spencer Street Station is the terminal of domestic and interstate trains in Victoria. Flinders Street Station is the main station of Melbourne's local train lines. There are trains to state capitals and other major cities. You can take the Victoria train line (V/line) to the main tourist attractions in the state. There are highways leading to state capitals. You can take a tour bus (Melbourne City Exploration) to the main tourist attractions.

The golden yellow and purple trams carry passengers around the city for free once every ten minutes. Slow, but there are many stops, which are convenient enough to cover the whole city. Two-way all-weather tram, running time: 10: 00pm, every fifteen minutes.

Trams, trains and buses in Melbourne * * * use a ticket, Metcard. The cost depends on the distance. The ticket is very interesting. It is divided into two hours (you can go anywhere in these two hours), one day, one week and one pass. The starting price of taxis is 2.6 Australian dollars, and each jump is 0.65438 Australian dollars +0. Most taxi drivers are friendly.

3. Banks

As an international student, the first thing to do in Melbourne is to open an account in a bank. The largest banks in Melbourne are Commonwealth Bank of Australia, National Bank of Australia, ANZ Bank and Bank of Melbourne.

As the Australian government relaxed the financial market, Australia's exchange rate began to fluctuate in the 1980s, and many foreign exchange laws and regulations were abolished. Banks introduce different deposit preferences according to their own conditions to attract customers and compete. Each bank has its own advantages, some housing loans are convenient, some foreign currency exchange does not charge fees, and some have higher relative interest. For international students, they don't care whether they have housing loans, but expect to get more benefits with less money. It is more appropriate to choose Melbourne Bank. There is also the Bank of Melbourne on campus, which makes saving more convenient. The bank staff are warm, thoughtful and patient. At the bank, you can fill in the form according to the instructions of the bank staff. Usually you can get your credit card and account number in about two weeks.

food

Victoria is an important producer of Australian cheese, wine, meat, fish, fruit and game. Because of its rich products and long history of food culture, Melbourne has naturally become a gourmet paradise. The best places to taste include: Stklida Road in South Asia, Caigong Street in Caton (a famous Italian food paradise), fitzroy District and Binsville Street. Don't forget to go to Nanmen Street, where you can enjoy delicious food and enjoy the scenery of Yarra River.

The colonial tram restaurant can provide the opportunity to watch while eating, enjoy food and wine, and enjoy the street view by car. Hard Rock Cafe is located at the corner of Burke Street and Spring Street. If you want to enjoy singing and dancing while eating, you can try Dracula Theatre or Madhouse Theatre.

stay behind

After many people arrive in Australia, they don't know how to find a house, some find friends and ask questions in college. You can ask the international affairs office of the school, and the office will give you a list saying that there is an advertisement at the corner on the second floor of the building, or go to the student service center to find a computer advertisement. Foreign students who have just gone generally don't know this. After all, the geographical environment is unfamiliar, I don't know whether the house price is cheap or not, and I don't know whether the conditions required by the landlord are suitable or not.

See the advertisement in the University Student Service Center, write down the phone number on the advertisement, buy a map, and then call. There are several kinds of houses in Australia, one is called house, which is what we call garden house; One is called apartment, which is a relatively luxurious apartment; The other is called FLAT, which is flat, and is generally lived by the poor, students and refugees; There is also a relatively simple garden house, some with gardens and some without gardens.

There are many residential college in Melbourne University. Students go to residential college instead of reporting to departments. Residential college is responsible for students' life and study, and has a library and a restaurant. Students who live on campus pay a certain fee every month, and three meals a day are unified. When eating, some people wear ancient costumes and serve meals. And every Saturday, the tutor will have dinner with the students. Tutors wear classical clothes, and students must wear suits. The tutor's dining table is high above, which is called "high table"
