Suggestion: When preparing luggage, prioritize it and try not to be overweight.
Hand luggage: not too much, there are regulations on the ticket. But in fact, if you really take a lot, it won't be a big problem. However, when airline staff look at you, they must make a very relaxed expression even if your hand is about to break.
Checked baggage: The limit is twenty kilograms. Any excess will be charged at RMB 60 per kilogram.
It is best to use suitcases that are light and strong, easy to carry, and not afraid of collisions. Personal luggage should be clearly marked with Chinese and foreign names, destinations, etc. If your luggage is found to be a lot overweight when changing your ticket, remember to ask for mercy. If it is your first time going abroad, you will bring a lot of things. Most of them are books on professional courses (this sentence is often very useful). Generally, customs Forget it.
Singapore is not a poor and barren island. Instead of being fined, it is better to come and buy it with money. Generally speaking, the luggage you bring for the first time is prepared for a year. Here is some information about what to bring.
Inspection of documents
Before leaving, be sure to check all your travel documents in person, such as: passport, school admission letter, student pass approval letter from the Singapore Immigration Department, Visa (white card) issued by the Singapore Embassy.
Clothing
Summer is only in Singapore! Summer clothes commonly worn in Singapore include T-shirts, jeans, trousers, casual shorts and other summer clothes. Most of the time, the clothes are More casual.
1. Don’t bring too many T-shirts, come here and buy more. First of all, because the styles of different places are actually very different, many of the clothes brought from China look a bit awkward. For example, on campus, you can roughly guess where you are from your clothes. Although the taste of clothes in Singapore is average, there is an old saying that when you are in town, do as the Romans do. Secondly, why bring a bunch of clothes to increase the weight of your luggage. As far as I know, during the holidays, some people bring back a lot of unworn clothes.
2. Due to air conditioning, the indoor and outdoor temperature in Singapore often differs by 10 degrees, so you need 1 or 2 thin coats (not hooded, as it is inconvenient to take off).
3. It is recommended not to bring too many shorts. Actually, we are wearing trousers here. It's not too hot either, just get used to it. And there are many restrictions on shorts. For example, they are not allowed to be worn in libraries and other places. Indoor air conditioners are generally very cold. Wearing shorts will make you faint and cry, haha!
4. Don’t bring too many shoes. The sneakers (even brand-name ones), sandals, and flip-flops here are not too expensive. For boys who play ball frequently, bring one or two extra pairs of sneakers.
5. Formal clothing: Boys should bring a good shirt, tie, trousers and leather shoes. There are fewer occasions when you need to wear a suit, but you still have to be prepared. There may be formaldiners in the dormitories who require dinner attire, and at the end of the semester there may be presentations requiring formal work attire.
Pharmaceuticals
Generally, minor illnesses can be treated locally. So the medicine you take varies from person to person.
Cold and fever medicine (antibiotics, granules, etc. The local doctor will also prescribe it for you, so you don’t need to bring it if you don’t mind seeing a doctor), fire-clearing and anti-inflammatory medicine (such as Xia Sangju, Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets), Diarrhea medicine, anti-mosquito bite medicine (cool oil, toilet water, etc.), trauma disinfectant (band-aid, cotton, Yunnan Baiyao, bruise medicine, these are very useful for people who like sports), eye drops, etc. In addition, people who are relatively weak can bring some vitamins, nutritional supplements, and regulatory drugs. Be prepared with commonly used medicines. But don’t bring too much, as a lot of medicines may have passed their expiry date before they are used. It must be decided based on your own physical condition.
Daily necessities
One set of sheets, towels and duvets is enough, or two sets can be used for changing and washing. A few towels, cups and toothbrushes. In fact, these can be purchased easily and the price is not very expensive. Bring a small amount just for the first few days. The dormitory room has mattresses and pillows.
Book learning
Bring few books, they are very heavy. Although I was very ambitious when I left, I usually didn’t have much time to watch after I came here. I don’t agree with bringing Chinese versions of books on learning. It is best to read English directly, otherwise it will be very harmful to develop dependence. Books on literature and history are actually available in Chinese libraries. Besides, if you really want to see it, you can always find it. If you don’t want to see it, you won’t read it if it is delivered to your door. There is no need for a dictionary, you can find it in the library. Usually it is enough to use Wenquxing or PowerWord on your computer. Stationery is sold everywhere here and is not expensive.
Entertainment and electronic products
Bring your Walkman, CD player, camera and other electrical appliances if you have them. Take more photos in Singapore and send them to your parents via email. Mobile phone Be sure to bring your laptop. The initial mobile phone bill will not be very high, and prepaid mobile phone SIM cards can be purchased in many shopping malls on the island. If you don’t have a mobile phone, you can consider signing up for a mobile phone plan here and buy new mobile phones at low prices. In addition, bring some things according to your own preferences, such as musical instruments, swimming suits, etc.
Food
People who are picky about food and can cook can bring some seasonings and snacks. Generally recommended: beef jerky, special candies, sour food Spicy vermicelli, Lao Gan Ma, (in fact, you can basically buy domestic products in Chinatown and Chinatown Yuhua). In addition, there are many kinds of instant noodles in Singapore, so don’t bring them.
Money
When you first arrive in Singapore, you can bring some money with you for emergencies. Renminbi, Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, etc. can be easily exchanged for Singapore dollars here. Basically every shopping mall has a place to change money. For the specific exchange rate, please check the foreign exchange rate of the day. More than 2 years actually flew by in the blink of an eye. You need to pack your luggage rationally and calmly, and this skill is actually gradually improved during vacation after vacation.
