Matters needing attention
☆ Never smoke in public! BC Province began to ban smoking in the whole province from June 5438+1 October1. Violating the smoking ban will be severely punished: from the first offense of 0 yuan to several thousand yuan!
☆ shirts should be ready. Although it is a hot summer day, the sudden change of the weather will make you feel at a loss. Vancouver is not too cold in winter, but it snows sometimes. Average annual temperature: 1,1February is the coldest: the average temperature is about 5 degrees, and July and August are the hottest: the average temperature is about 23 degrees.
☆ It is best to apply sunscreen before going out in summer. The sunshine in Vancouver is too strong. Go out without sunscreen and roast suckling pigs in minutes. According to statistics, Vancouver is also one of the regions with the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world. Are you scared?
☆ Keep small change (especially coins of one yuan and 0.25 yuan, such as 1.75 yuan by bus and 0.25 yuan by phone). Local calls in Vancouver are not priced by unit time: a phone call can be made for any length of time. If you can stand it, nobody will take care of you for hours. ☆ Obey traffic rules. The speed on Vancouver street is very fast, so it is dangerous to cross the road without looking at the traffic lights. And it should be noted that some intersections have buttons when crossing the road. Usually, traffic lights are always in a red no-go state. If you need to cross the road, you need to press that button and wait until the traffic lights turn green before crossing the road.
☆ Give proper tips to waiters and drivers. China people (including sugar) don't seem to have the habit of tipping to serve the people: but when you go to other people's places, you must of course take into account other people's habits and styles, and tipping is also an affirmation of others' work. I'm broke. I thought I offended you. Maybe I'll feel guilty for a few days when I get home:
☆ The power supply is 1 10V! Remember to bring the voltage converter when you take out the household appliances. ☆ Tri-band mobile phones can be used! Canada is a PCS1900M mobile system, and ordinary single-frequency mobile phones and dual-frequency mobile phones cannot be used.
☆ Note when carrying foreign exchange: According to China's regulations, China people can carry 5,000 yuan/person in foreign exchange. If it exceeds this amount, they may have trouble going through customs. If it is hidden in luggage, it may be photographed when X-rays are taken, and some people will hide the money in the soles of their shoes to pass the customs safely (I hope comrades who have never worked in customs can read my article: P, it is ok to carry foreign exchange credit cards and traveler's checks, but it is inconvenient to use. It is also a way to go through domestic and foreign banks, but it seems that only a few big cities have offices and have to pay a lot of handling fees. Special attention should be paid to local criminal gangs that specialize in crimes committed by new immigrants, so money must be properly kept.
☆ Pay attention to saving money abroad: most local banks in Canada require depositors to provide accurate addresses and related information, which limits the deposits of many new immigrants to some extent. In view of the above situation, I suggest choosing Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), whose application procedure is relatively simple.
