What should I pay attention to before eating western food? It is reported that China people entertain Americans with authentic Chinese food, but some traditional dishes deter Americans, so the host and guests may not enjoy themselves after dinner. When it's American's turn to be host, many people in China also complain about western food? Not enough to eat 、? Too concise? , even someone once? Hungry? . Some people in China have gradually gained experience. Now, every time they go to the United States for dinner, they have to eat half full before going out? .

? A bowl of salad, a plate of ham slices and two pieces of cheese bread are not enough for everyone. ? A few months ago, Ms. Gu, a China native who works in Pasadena, and her husband were invited to an American colleague's house for dinner. As a result, the couple came out from their colleague's house and drove directly to a nearby Hong Kong-style restaurant for a midnight snack before going home hungry.

? Americans never get enough to eat when they treat? Ms. Gu said that when she first came to study in the United States, her classmates invited her to dinner, and the host family brought two plates of cut cold meat, one for each person? You can't even see the meat foam star? what's up Beef chowder? A baked potato and a mini fruit pie. Everyone else finished eating quickly. I thought this was just an appetizer. I didn't eat much, just waiting for dinner. As a result, I came home late at night, hungry, and my stomach began to ache. I will learn from it later. Before eating in an American home, you must eat something to pad your stomach? .

Do Americans treat too many dishes? Streamlined? , eat China guests sigh? How can Americans call this a dinner party! ? Mr. Chen, an Arcadian Chinese, revealed that an elderly neighbor from China went to an American friend's house for dinner. All the dishes prepared by the host are salad, a small piece of grilled fish and cinnamon dessert. As a result, she had to buy hamburgers on her way home to satisfy her hunger.

Mrs. Guan, a China resident who immigrated to the United States for more than ten years, said that apart from BBQ, the most common thing to eat in American homes is dinner? Luxurious? Our dish is roast turkey, and seafood, beef and mutton are unheard of. ? However, American friends were invited to dinner, and they went willingly. Mrs. Guan said that she usually cooks two or three special dishes with her, just in case? Is there really no food? Often the host family will like it very much.

? Treat, no party, everyone eats canned food? . Teresa, a China native who studied in Minnesota in her early years, revealed that the easiest meal to be treated by Americans was at the home of a single American classmate, and everyone was? A canned tuna and a canned mustard? After heating, add tomato sauce to taste, plus a frozen pizza bought from Costco. The owner will share his food with the pet dog at home when eating, which will make Teresa suddenly? Being fed dog food? This feeling.

On holidays, American tutors invite students to eat at home, although they claim to be? You don't need to bring vegetables, just have an appetite? However, China students often knowingly bring each other a China hot dish or snack. So you never go hungry every time? .

American family banquets are not enough, and business banquets will also make China people hungry. Gourmet Lin revealed that relatives at home have a lot of business dealings with Americans, but before going to dinner, they will definitely eat a bowl of rice at home before going out.

Lin pointed out that the richness of American banquets is actually related to the economic strength, education level and whether the host family pays attention to diet. Some elderly Americans with better economic conditions have a big banquet at home. The main courses, such as steak, fish, shrimp and chicken, are exquisite and delicious, and the appetizers and wine are also exquisite. Some hosts will specially prepare spring rolls to entertain China guests. However, when Americans invite guests to dinner, the most important thing is the process of chatting together. The host is always among the guests, which is different from the custom of inviting guests to dinner in China. The host family is busy in the kitchen and must cook hot and cold dishes to entertain the guests.

First, the school dormitory:

The living expenses on campus are about 3000-7500 dollars a year.

Some schools require students to live in dormitories, at least for the first year. There are also some schools where students can attend day schools. Day students save more money than students who live on campus, but they increase their transportation expenses. The meal ordered by the school is the regular food provided by the school canteen. Dormitory fee means that two people share a room, and it is necessary to know whether the accommodation fee includes bedding (quilts, pillows, blankets) and basic dormitory services. If you live on campus in summer, the budget for room and board needs to be increased by three months.

Second, renting a house outside:

When I first came to the United States, if I made up my mind not to live on campus, renting a house became a top priority. The most convenient thing is to ask your friends who are studying abroad in China to help you find it. It is convenient to live with several China people who have been in the United States for some time. The advantages are: peace of mind, consistent lifestyle, complete daily necessities and convenient shopping by car; Disadvantages: no freshness, no chance to practice English.

However, when I first went to America, it was a good idea. It's not too late to find a place to rent a house when I know the situation. American apartments are generally 1 to 5 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and one or two bathrooms. Provide basic furniture such as beds, tables and sofas.

According to the conditions of the rented house, the price varies greatly, about 3600-7200 dollars per year. Generally speaking, a single room with convenient transportation (near the subway), fine decoration and good location in a big city costs 500 to 700 dollars per month.

Renting a house requires experience and skill. The basic steps are: looking for information online or looking for it in the newspaper? Call and ask? See the house in detail? Go to the rental association to check the landlord's information and find out about the security situation in the area where the house is located? Sign the contract after comprehensive consideration.
