The new study abroad season is here again. Are the students who are going to study in Australia ready? Let me take a look at the guide for preparing food, clothing, housing and transportation items for studying in Australia. I hope it will be helpful to you.
Clothing
What parents worry most about is that everyone will not be warmly dressed. Here we will introduce the weather conditions of major cities in Australia one by one, so that everyone will know how to prepare clothes. In Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, the lowest temperature in winter is above 7 degrees, which is not very cold. So everyone, you really don’t need to prepare down jackets, just bring some sweaters and jackets. If you are going to study in Brisbane, you can even save a sweater. In summer, short-sleeved shorts are enough, and in winter, a long-sleeved jacket is enough. If you go to study in Adelaide or Tasmania, the temperature there will be slightly lower, so you can prepare a little more thick clothes, but it is definitely not a down jacket, a jacket + sweater will be enough.
Don’t worry about not bringing enough clothes. You can also buy clothes in Australia. There are two main types of clothes to buy in Australia, mid-range brands and high-end brands.
I’ll talk about the mid-range first, such as Zara, Cottonon, Polo, Levi’s, and Giordano. (I’m sorry, there is no obvious grade difference between different brands in the eyes of Chinese people. But in Australia, these prices are really The difference is not as big as that in China (a pair of jeans when Levi’s is on sale only costs $50). If you usually wear branded clothes, it’s definitely cheaper to buy them in Australia, so you don’t need to bring them with you.
Let’s talk about high-end, high-end is even cheaper in Australia, such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Bulgari, Prada (as a man, these brands are my father-killing enemies), as a senior buyer , the prices of these products in Australia are definitely the lowest in the world. I have also bought them in the United States. In the United States, the local mk and coach are cheaper. Others are really not cheaper than in Australia. But pay attention, the key to saving money is to buy After leaving Australia three months later, I refunded 10% of the GST at the airport. Such a price is really cheap!
But please note that the only problem when buying the above things in Australia is that the clothes and shoes in Australia are too large. The author is 180cm tall and weighs 70kg. How will it be done in China? You should also wear an XL. In Australia, I mainly wear XS, S, and M, which are the limit. For those who are shorter or thinner, many people go to buy children's clothes (it's true, the European clothes are really too big). If you are on the small side, it is recommended to bring some clothes with you.
Finally, regarding clothing, if the price of your clothes is Taobao, then you must bring more clothes and socks. No matter how cheap it is, it will never be cheaper than Taobao.
Food
Another biggest concern for parents is that everyone will not eat well. Then I brought a lot of food, instant noodles, hometown noodles, steamed buns, a lot of baba bala, and a rice cooker, hot water kettle and so on. What I want to say here is that there are really many Chinese people abroad. At least the cities that we Chinese like, such as Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Brisbane, all have Chinatowns. There are also very many Chinese towns in areas where Chinese people live together. There are many Chinese restaurants and Chinese supermarkets that have everything, including Lanzhou ramen, Sichuan hot pot, large plate chicken, Shanghainese cuisine, Northeastern cuisine, everything is available. You really don’t have to worry about being hungry. In fact, all countries in the world are similar. When I went to the United States, Los Angeles and San Francisco had very large Chinatowns, so you really don’t have to worry about eating, and rice cookers, hot water kettles, etc. are very cheap abroad. Ladles and pots are even cheaper than in China. You really don’t need to bring these from China!
Living
If you want to live, you will rent a house. Rent the house online in advance. When it comes to what to bring, my feeling is to bring a pillow. Australian pillows are softer. Of course, the one I bought was a cheap one from Kmart, but good pillows are very expensive. If you want to choose a pillow, you can Consider bringing a pillow.
Okay
Regarding transportation, if you go to Sydney and Melbourne, public transportation is actually enough. You don’t even need to buy a car. If you insist on buying one, then buy one. It's a second-hand one, cheap and easy to drive.
I don’t have anything to bring, but shoes are pretty cheap in Australia, so don’t worry and go to Australia!
