The colors of clothes can be diversified, but solid colors are suitable. The style is simple and simple, but the texture is good, such as the shedding of pants (not easy to fold). 3, coat: coat, casual shirt (3-4 pieces, different thickness). Waterproof or windproof jacket (1-2). Windbreaker (with windproof cap). 4, a set of sports shorts. A suit of sportswear. 5. One or two coats/furs.

I suggest you buy hot water at home and wash it first, and then change the length of your pants to prevent drying. 2, spring and autumn pants and line pants don't need much. 3. Beach pants (12). 4.

I) Quilt: 1, one bed is thin, you can consider silk quilt or space cotton, not too thin, and consider 20 degrees indoors. A thin blanket is an optional quilt. 2. A vacuum pillow, two pillowcases and a pillow towel. A double bed has two sheets (the average bed in the United States is much wider than a single bed in China) and a double bedspread.

19. Luggage:
A) A good quality backpack and maybe a laptop. A shoulder bag slightly larger than a schoolbag can be found when traveling in the United States as carry-on luggage for boarding a plane. B) Box: I suggest you buy it. I can't imagine a box of 100 yuan can be used. A better box should be between 400 and 600 RMB. The high-grade box is an engineering plastic shell, which can stand people. It's heavy and expensive, and it costs more than 400 RMB. More common is canvas surface with bottom material, which is semi-hard and not hard, about 200 RMB. I suggest buying one as usual and putting expensive and stressful things in a decent box. Small box 1. C) Accessories: Notes for free checked baggage: Passengers going to the United States: Two checked baggage and one hand baggage. The maximum weight of each piece of checked baggage is 70 pounds /32 kilograms, and the sum of the three sides of each piece of luggage is 62 inches/158 cm. The maximum weight of hand luggage is 40LBS/ 18KGS, and the maximum sum of three sides is 45in ches/ 1 13cm. The weight of the baggage carried by the plane is two large pieces of checked baggage, each piece is 32kg, and the dimensions are length+width+height = 158cm, but the circumference is not included. I went to the store and said to buy 76 boxes, which is the size. A piece of hand luggage, theoretically 5 kg, seems to have a limit of more than 50 cm in length, width and height, but no one cares.
20. Tableware/cookware:
A) Plastic lunch boxes and bamboo chopsticks that can be heated by microwave oven. Spoon. B) Cookware: a single-handle pot (with a lid and a shovel) used for cooking. You can buy rice cookers and ceramic rice cookers for stewing soup here. Chopper, don't take a knife to cut bones. You bought ribs in the supermarket and asked people there to cut them for you. Cutting board, preferably plastic. Bring a small stainless steel pot to cook milk cereal or something, and it doesn't take up space, because all the CDs can be put in, and X-rays can't get through. As for CDs, there should be no problem going through customs (based on personal experience only). If you like to drink boiled water to make tea, bring a kettle and put all the medicine in it. Some people say that there are no thermos bottles for sale in America, so I bought one, which is very similar to that in China. Many Chinese people will buy an electric hot pot when they come. It is convenient to invite friends to dinner without cooking many dishes.
2 1. Daily necessities:

Diet view of studying abroad life
When foreign students come to a different place, they must take care of their daily life and studies, and they must also take care of their own diet. Swallowing a few mouthfuls of cold salad and sandwiches, I can't help but miss my hometown mother's specialty. The more you eat, the sadder you feel. As a result, many gentlemen who have never been in the kitchen have to try to "wash their hands and learn to cook" after they are not used to American fast food and school canteen food. But even with more enthusiasm and sincerity, cooking is really realistic and cold, but it depends on how deep your skills and materials are. As a result, the roast chicken served in the oven was burnt black; The fish in the pot is not ripe; It is common for cakes to turn into sticky omelets when they don't rise. Sadly, the pressure of life and schoolwork has made people breathless, but when they enter the kitchen, they are frustrated again and again. What a pity!
As a result, many unattended international students have been abroad for three months, most of them are pale, haggard and in a trance. There are many people suffering from stomach diseases in half a year. The main reason is that three meals are poorly cooked and even malnourished, which leads to the following six kinds of eating habits of international students:
1) "fill the stomach" type
In order to save money and time, I am too lazy to pay attention to food at the same time. Take care of the three meals as usual, the weight is not heavy, and the food is just to fill the stomach. Instant noodles, TV meals, hot dogs and hamburgers are all welcome, and a meal is a meal. It was not until the weekend that I found some friends to go out for a porridge.
2) "Overeating" type
Such people are usually too involved in their work. Only when the work drew to a close did they find themselves dizzy, thirsty and hungry. So I ate a big meal, or two meals together, and my belly was up.
3) "psychological compensation" type
Some people keep eating to seek compensation because of mental loss or too much pressure on their homework. Such people can generally eat anything, such as fruit, biscuits, cakes, potato chips, soda, chocolate and nuts, and eat them all at once.
4) "dieting to lose weight" type
This type is almost all women. To keep fit, stay away from steak, cake, ice cream, chocolate and cheese. Eat fruit, lettuce or low-calorie food every day. I feel weak and dizzy after eating.
5) "mouth and brain" type
Such people know how to use their time effectively and don't forget the "parallel process" when eating. While eating, read newspapers, novels or listen to TV news. Some people are eating sandwiches while rushing to report; Or think about your paper over lunch. Einstein is the acme of this type-standing in front of the restaurant, puzzled, not knowing whether to leave after eating or just about to go in.
6) Type of "Remote Kitchen"
Most of these friends have no interest or experience in cooking. In the past, most of the meals every day were "tea in hand, rice in mouth". Speaking of duty-bound, I find cleaning, cutting, cooking and frying, and finally cooking afterwards, simply boring, not to mention very fulfilling. It is often full of enthusiasm and fanfare, but it is soon shrouded in oil smoke, so that when I sneeze without saying a word, the alarm goes off, alarming my roommates and neighbors around me, which is embarrassing. Or spilled oil, turned pale and turned around. In the end, I had to lose in a panic. So, over time, it will be good advice. Instant noodles, frozen meals and restaurant takeout have become the same formula for three meals.
Imagine, without a healthy body, how can you have enough physical strength to cope with heavy schoolwork and trivial affairs? If you rely on your youth and physical strength, you will be worn out if you are not careful, and your maintenance is not good. If you get a degree, your health will not work. I'm afraid it will take you a long time, even a lifetime, and spend a lot of money to fix it. It may even be serious enough to affect your future work efficiency and life interest, which is not worth the candle! Therefore, in order to keep the family business, rule the country, rebuild the body for the first time and cultivate one's morality, we must first repair the stomach and intestines. Balance nutrition every day and develop good eating habits. Make physiological functions work normally, so as to maintain a healthy body and abundant physical strength. In this way, even if all kinds of obstacles cross in front of us, they are invincible, and nothing is impossible!
Let's talk about our daily diet. Although it is a cliche, if you belong to one of the "six types" mentioned above, you will get some correct eating concepts from this article, so as to adjust your eating habits. Maybe, it changed your life from now on.
How many meals a day is normal? Different political parties have different views. Usually three meals a day, but five small meals a day is also good, depending on personal habits and needs. As for the basic principles of daily diet, they are as follows:
1) Eat smart but not full.
No matter three meals a day or five meals a day, the total amount must be controlled to meet the standard needs of body position. Long-term overeating not only damages the digestive function, but also makes the body unable to fully absorb or excrete what it eats, resulting in food waste, overburdening the body's functions and causing various diseases. And the calories exceed the body's needs, so that fat is stored, weight is increased, and health is worse.
2) Eat on time
Three meals were arranged. Too early or too late, or even two meals at a time, will cause satiety when full and hunger when hungry, which is harmful to the gastrointestinal tract. Because gastric acid can stimulate the stomach wall on an empty stomach; Eating too much will increase the burden on the stomach and reduce the resistance of the gastrointestinal tract. Both of them are the main causes of stomach diseases.
3) Have a hearty breakfast
Get up early in the morning, in order to catch up with class or work, many people have a hasty breakfast. Some people simply don't eat, and they don't feel particularly hungry anyway. You know, from eating the night before to the next morning, a person didn't eat for at least ten hours. If you don't supplement nutrition early in the morning, how can you cope with the consumption of one day? So we should deeply understand the importance of breakfast.
4) a glass of milk before going to bed
It is not advisable to eat too much before going to bed, nor should it be on an empty stomach. It is best to eat a small amount of digestible food, such as a glass of milk with two biscuits or a piece of toast. It is also inappropriate to eat foods containing too much water, so as not to cause gastrointestinal and bladder discomfort and affect sleep. As for those who often need to stay up late or stay up late, they all have the habit of taking supper. Remember not to eat irritating or fatty food. Alcohol, coffee and strong tea are not suitable.
5) Have a relaxed and happy meal
When eating, the mood is closely related to whether the surrounding environment is quiet and stomach problems. Relax and don't concentrate when eating. If the cerebral cortex is in a state of excessive tension for a long time, it will easily affect the secretion of gastrointestinal fluids. In this way, the stomach and intestines can neither give full play to the function of digestion and absorption, nor play a normal bactericidal ability.
6) chew slowly to help digestion
It is not advisable to drink a lot of tea before meals, so as not to dilute the acidity of gastric juice and affect digestion. Don't soak rice in soup when eating. This way of eating is simple and quick, but for people with weak gastric motility, it increases the first grinding work that should not be undertaken by them, which will increase the load on the stomach and form indigestion. When swallowing food, keep your mouth closed to prevent air from entering the stomach and causing flatulence. Furthermore, talk less when eating, otherwise it will affect chewing. If you must talk, you'd better stop eating. As for foods that are too thick, too hard, too hot, too cold or too irritating, they are easy to hurt the stomach and should be avoided.
7) resist the temptation of snacks
The biggest danger of eating snacks is to make people overweight, followed by malnutrition. Because most of the snacks we usually eat lack vitamins and minerals, they are called "junk food". Not only that, snacks also consume vitamin B in our bodies to burn the sugar we eat. The gradual reduction of vitamins in the body will make people nervous, irritable, unable to concentrate, lose energy and lose sleep. At the same time, snacks reduce our appetite for dinner and prevent us from absorbing normal nutrition. If necessary, drink water or fruit between meals. It can not only help digestion, but also replenish the water needed by the body.
Correct eating habits can certainly reduce stomach problems and let the body fully absorb the nutrients in food. But people who really know how to adjust their diet should also pay attention to the balanced intake of nutrients in food. As for partial life, for example: excessive and insufficient exercise; Too little sunshine in Otawa; Mental depression and excitement should be avoided. In this way, you can eat nutritious and healthy.
A lot of expensive precautions for going to the United States for medical treatment
Illness is the biggest headache for international students. First, the medical expenses in the United States are expensive; second, it is difficult to find a suitable hospital. Here, the author talks with prospective international students who are about to leave, and what problems should be paid attention to when seeking medical treatment in the United States?
There are many hospitals in the United States, so for China students who have just arrived in other places, sometimes they really don't know how to see a doctor. In new york, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other big cities in the United States, there are many clinics run by China people, ranging from traumatic injuries and otorhinolaryngology to surgery and acupuncture, with very low fees. International students can find information about this kind of clinic from the classified advertisements published in the American Chinese newspaper World Journal, and they can also consult the classified advertisements in the local telephone book. In America, no matter what you see, you have to make an appointment by phone first. Don't go there in a hurry. Many doctors will not accept patients without appointments.
The medical expenses in the United States are world-famous, so it is recommended that international students get medical insurance as soon as possible. Generally speaking, American colleges and universities have a student insurance system. It is best for international students to carry their medical insurance cards and credit cards with them at ordinary times, because most hospitals will require patients to fill in the name of medical insurance company, insurance period and number when seeking medical treatment. Insurance companies usually require patients to pay a deduction in advance.
For international students, headaches, fever, colds, colds and other minor illnesses can be solved by buying some pills in supermarkets or pharmacies. But if it is a serious illness, it is best to go to the hospital. Don't delay your illness in order to save money. Some states and hospitals in the United States (such as California) will help patients find some charities to provide relief for those who have to be hospitalized for economic reasons but have not participated in medical insurance.
During the study in the United States, international students should call 9 1 1 for emergency assistance and call an ambulance if they encounter any accidents, such as falls, bumps, cuts, gunshot wounds, car accidents and heart attacks. It is reported that those who are not fluent in English, as long as they dial the number, even if they don't talk, police cars and ambulances will arrive in time. A friend of the author went into shock at home, and his family called 9 1 1 to call an ambulance. As a result, three cars arrived within five minutes: a police car, a fire truck and an ambulance.
