Guide for Australian immigrants to carry luggage in 2020

The last and most important task of the visa-down friends is to prepare for the trip! So what are the necessary things for new immigrants to land in Australia? Let's take a look at the luggage handling guide for Australian immigrants moving in 2020.

Rice cooker: I recommend this. I highly recommend it. You can buy a smaller household rice cooker and carry it with you (two or three people are enough). Because the design of rice cookers in Australia is different from that in China, not because of the price. In fact, it doesn't cost much to buy a second-hand rice cooker here, but a new rice cooker is expensive (not yet a rice cooker). The journey of Australian rice cookers depends on whether there is water in the pot. Without water, rice is "good" and it is really inconvenient to use! For those who want to eat soft rice or cook porridge, they need to bring their own rice cookers. Because Australians don't know what porridge is, they only eat very hard and dry rice. Once I cooked porridge in an ordinary pot, which surprised shawn, an Australian student who lived with me. He asked me how to eat this thing, so much water! I recommend the rice cooker, not the rice cooker. The effect of rice cooker is better than that of rice cooker! Later, my family wanted to airdrop a rice cooker for me. It really feels like home when used. . .

Dual-hole plug-in: This thing is a must. It is difficult to buy a dual-hole plug-in here in Australia, but you can buy a single two-hole to three-hole conversion head, which can be bought in the city. (Good friends with notebooks in China). On the other hand, it is difficult for you to buy double-hole strips. In addition, the power supply systems in Australia and China are the same, except that Australia has a three-hole plug and China does not have a two-hole socket.

Clothes: If it is summer, you don't need to bring too many clothes and bedding! If it is winter here when you come, you need to bring some thick clothes. For example, bring two sweaters with slightly thicker thickness, so that they can be changed, and the same is true for sweaters and pants. It is also a good choice to bring a small thin duck down jacket! In winter, there are many people wearing small down jackets here. It feels good. I remember that when Jerry Yan from Taiwan Province Province came to Melbourne in winter, he wore a small down jacket. You can also consider bringing the same coat. You don't need to bring platform shoes. Ordinary sneakers can be worn almost all year round. Shoes here are quite expensive, sandals are more than 60 dollars, and simple sports rubber shoes in China 15 yuan are also more than 20 Australian dollars here. So try to bring enough shoes for all seasons. It is recommended to bring a pair of sunglasses. The slightly better sunglasses here cost $ 200-300, which is about $0/50 per discount. Unlike in China, the sunshine in Australia is much more toxic, and there is always a burning feeling when it hits the skin! So you can see that many elderly people in Australia have a lot of erythema on their skin! In addition, friends who have contact lenses are recommended to prepare a pair of contact lenses, because they are very light, so don't bring 1 pair casually! Most socks in Australia are socks; Only sports socks are high-heeled and thick, so friends who are used to wearing domestic high-heeled socks had better bring 10 pairs! I brought 25 pairs of white socks. Here you go ~ ~) Besides, you don't need to bring more clothes such as T-shirts, underwear, underwear and hats, which are not expensive here. Ordinary T-shirts 10- 15 Australian dollars can be bought everywhere. Speaking of bedding, most homeowners here don't provide bedding. If it is winter when you come, I suggest you bring a set of bedding. The temperature here overnight is enough to make you dare to take risks and catch cold; Melbourne in summer is sometimes very cold at night. Washing products in Australia are not expensive, such as toothpaste, washing powder, toothbrush, soap and so on. At the same time, they are also heavy and uneconomical! Cosmetics are cheap and of good quality, so you can bring less or no cosmetics. School supplies are moderately priced, so let's not talk about it. It depends on the individual. I won't go into details about drugs here. As we all know, all western medicines in Australia are more comprehensive than those in China. I haven't bought any medicine, so I don't know the price.

But I still have some on me: somatization, cephalosporin, stomach medicine and tooth anti-inflammatory medicine. It is expensive to see a dentist here! It costs 350 Australian dollars for a friend to go to a private dentist, so it is recommended that a friend with a history of tooth decay must bring some anti-inflammatory drugs about teeth!

Electrical appliances: some electrical appliances, such as digital cameras, computer notebooks, razors, etc., can be decided by themselves. Computers here are not expensive, not much worse than domestic prices. But I suggest bringing a domestic mobile phone. You can use domestic GSM dual-band mobile phones here. I brought sumsung-s408. Mobile phones here are very backward, and "mud bricks" like nokia5 1 10 can be seen everywhere. You can't buy Samsung s408, s308 here. My s408 battery was later airdropped by my family. There are not many models here. Therefore, friends who carry a slightly newer mobile phone in China, you'd better bring a spare mobile phone battery and charger in case something goes wrong and you can't buy your high-tech mobile phone accessories in Australia.

Cigarettes: If a friend has the habit of smoking, consider bringing two cigarettes from China, usually just two, because Australian cigarettes are too expensive! The general outline of cigarettes is 9 10 Australian dollars, and the cheapest one is 6.5 Australian dollars (I have seen it, but it is not available everywhere). Many people here smoke cigarettes by themselves, not because cigarettes are cheap (the price of cigarettes is not much higher than the bottom of cigarettes), but because cigarettes waste time, so it will take longer!

Luggage: Finally, I'd like to mention that you'd better use a big traveling bag with wheels under it to carry your luggage, not a box! The travel bag is very light, and the big travel bag made in Shanghai is very strong and the box is too heavy. The weight saved by traveling bag can hold more things.

Property: in addition, you need to carry some cash with you in case you just arrive in Australia, such as buying a phone card, taking a car, paying the house fee, etc. If there is no cash, it will be very troublesome, and many places need you to spend money when they first come. And a bank card. I suggest you get a good visa credit card in China and then come out. China Industrial and Commercial Bank Peony visa Card (Peony International Credit Card) was processed. The annual fee is RMB within 200 yuan, and there are only two kinds of accounts: US dollars and Hong Kong dollars. Generally, you can deposit money in your card for 5 days in China and receive it in Australia. Gold-free transactions are very common here, and it is undoubtedly convenient to swipe your card. Whether you swipe your card or withdraw cash, it is directly converted into Australian dollars, and the domestic exchange rate is quoted on that day. (In addition, I have to pay a handling fee of 1% from my credit card. This is what I learned from Beijing Industrial and Commercial Bank. It's a lie to say that the credit card will not be returned! As long as you spend from the card, you get a commission. But if you withdraw cash, you have to pay a 4% handling fee. But it is still very useful. It is recommended that you use visa card. You can check the balance and print the account list by logging on the website of domestic banks in Australia. China Bank can also apply for the visa card of BOC. Note, however, that visa card transfer is not allowed here, and it can only be used for cash withdrawal or credit card shopping. You can go to ICBC or BOC in China for details before making a decision.

Food, the mainland where rabies has never been found in history, has always been strict about the inspection of food flowing into Australia! There was a punishment incident this year. A China student who flew from China to Brisbane was found carrying canned beef at Brisbane Customs and was severely punished. But you can still bring several kinds of vacuum-packed food, such as vacuum pickles. There are also "safe" foods known to customs officers. In this regard, you can refer to the detailed description of the customs inspection list mailed by the Australian Embassy to each visa winner, but you still need to be cautious. Friends are not advised to risk bringing any food into the customs!
