What are the precautions for studying in Australia?

1. Note that the time in Australia and China is different. Although they are generally in the same time zone, China implements Beijing time, while Australian states have different time zones. Generally speaking, the difference between daylight saving time and China is 2 hours, while that between winter time is 3 hours. Of course, it should be noted that the seasons in China and Australia do not correspond.

2. The ID card is different from that of China. There is no such certificate in Australia. When you need to prove your identity in Australia, you usually use a driver's license. It is natural to see that your driver's license is very important in Australia. Of course, don't think that Australia can't manage visas and passports without identification. These are all related to your return to China. It should be noted that Australia's privacy laws prohibit institutions from consulting each other's information.

3. In terms of eating habits, Australia is used to eating breakfast and casual Chinese food, mainly dinner. Generally, breakfast is toast and milk, Chinese food is hamburgers, pasta and sandwiches, and dinner is vegetarian or meat according to personal preference. Australia is rich in meat, including cattle, sheep and pork. Beef and mutton are very delicious and famous. As for alcoholic beverages, Australia's control over them is still relatively strict, and minors under 18 are not allowed to buy and drink alcoholic beverages. Another special place in Australia is that drinking water is tap water.

4. The consumption mode in Australia is mostly credit card payment. Compared with China, it is more convenient for Australia to withdraw cash from bank cards when shopping in stores. And now Paypass (contactless password-free payment) supported by bank card payment terminals is becoming more and more popular, but the limit is 100 yuan.

5. The country code of Australian telephone is 6 1, while the country code of China is 86.

Call Australian fixed telephone with country code+city code+fixed telephone number; (city code: Canberra: 0 1, Sydney: 02, Melbourne: 03, Brisbane: 07, Perth/Adelaide: 08)

Call Australian mobile phone number, country code +4+ mobile phone number.

6. When driving in Australia, pay attention to driving on the left. Seat belts must be worn, including passengers, and pedestrians should be polite before zebra crossing. Traveling by bus, the Australian bus does not have the information of the in-car broadcast ticket checking station, so you need to press the button on the bus to select the station.
