2. Glasses: It's best for children who wear glasses to have a spare pair. When studying abroad, they have more opportunities for sports, so they should be prepared to remedy if they are damaged. You also need one or two pairs of contact lenses. Contact lenses are worn at parties, social gatherings or other activities. Whether you are beautiful or not, you are healthy and beautiful without glasses.
3. Electrical appliances: power supply and plug converter. In electronic products, if the plug is three-phase, it must be matched, and two-phase can be omitted. The voltage in the United States is 11 volts, and many of our chargers can be interoperable between 11 volts and 22 volts, which is not a big problem. The United States is full of cold drinks and rarely provides hot water, so children who want to drink hot water need to bring their own electric cups. Computers, digital cameras, mobile phones (quad-band), USB flash drives, scientific calculators, electronic dictionaries, power cords, small flashlights, alarm clocks, etc. can be brought according to your own needs. Don't forget to bring the corresponding charger or USB connection. After arriving in the United States, high school students need to buy a graphic calculator T-89.
4. Important documents: passport, I-2 form, contact information of the school, ID card, driver's license, cash in US dollars and RMB, receipt and admission notice of the school deposit, one-inch and two-inch ID photo, air ticket (printed by electronic ticket), credit card (recommended for the main supplementary card of China Bank or other banks) and IC calling card (used at the airport when returning to China). These must be carried with you, not checked.
5. Daily necessities: bedding, pillows, pillow towels, bed sheets, towels and bath towels (you can bring 2 sets for changing); Shampoo and conditioner, bath lotion (all liquid items are recommended in small bottles, and you can buy them locally after finishing. Usually provided in the school shower), dental appliances, cups, sewing kits, slippers, knives, scissors, nail clippers, razors, clothes hangers, physiological supplies, combs, paper towels and wet wipes (a small amount) and so on.
6. China special gifts: chopsticks, silk products, lacquerware, auspicious bracelets, Four Treasures of the Study and so on.
*: All the things listed in 1 ~ 5 can be bought and taken home, or they can be solved locally, depending on personal needs. For reference only.
1. Telephone cards: used in the United States, you can buy them online in advance. A $1 telephone card can be used to call China for nearly 8 minutes, and then you can prepare a quarter for your child in advance, which can be used at any pay phone, and you can also call back to China by using the school ordinary phone when you go to school.
2. Mobile phone: It is best to open international roaming, so that children can find them more easily when they go out, and it is also convenient for them to contact their parents in case of emergency, but the cost is more expensive, so it is suitable for use at the beginning. You can buy a mobile phone card from T-mobil in the United States, and give you different use time according to different amounts. You can continue to add money when it expires. This card number is still yours. The advantage is that there is no monthly fee. It takes the same time to make local calls in the United States as long-distance calls in the United States and Canada, but the disadvantage is that it costs more than a monthly fee. You can also join a friend's family's package, because it's not very accounting to go for a monthly subscription. Usually, you can use Internet phones and ordinary phones at school. Mobile phones are mainly used by children when they go out, and they don't have much time to use. In the United States, mobile phones with a monthly subscription must generally be signed for one year.
3. Americans generally drink ice water. Many people in China are not used to it, but children adapt quickly. I remember that when my daughter went to the United States as a child, the happiest thing was to drink ice water. Usually, we controlled her to eat ice cream. When she came to the United States, she ate ice cubes in ice water as ice cream, which was delicious. So I don't think it is necessary to bring an electric water cup. If you need to drink hot water, you can heat it in the microwave oven.
4. Voltage converter: The voltage in the United States is 11 volts, and that in China is 22 volts. If you don't use the voltage converter, it may damage electrical appliances. It is suggested that you buy some voltage converters in the supermarket, and make it clear to the waiter that you are going to the United States when you buy them, because there are many types of voltage converters (Europe, Australia, Japan, Macau, etc.).
5. Girls can bring more trinkets, bracelets and headdresses, which are cheaper to buy in China and have more choices.
6. batteries: you can bring some 7th and 5th batteries. China is cheaper.
7. You don't need to bring too many other daily necessities, just bring a small amount. You can buy them later in the United States.
8. Clothes: You don't need to bring too much. First, there are air conditioners everywhere in the United States. In summer, the room temperature is very low, so you need to wear a thick coat. In winter, even if it is snowy outside, the room is still warm as spring. Second, the styles and famous brands of American clothes are different from those in China, and some American famous brands are expensive in China, so you can go to the United States to buy them, and the price is cheaper. Schools take their children to supermarkets or department stores every week. In addition, the habit of Americans is to change clothes every day and wash clothes once a week. This habit is very different from that of China. Students who have just gone to the United States should pay special attention to the fact that clothes are dried by a dryer immediately after washing. You can buy some fresheners and leavening agents from American supermarkets, and the clothes will be fluffy and fragrant after drying.
9. Gifts: Americans give gifts on birthdays and holidays, and the value of gifts does not need to be too expensive, because they don't care about the value of gifts, but care about the packaging of gifts. You can buy some packaging bags in China or gift bags in American supermarkets. When giving gifts, you must put them in gift bags.
