First, clothes, whether you are a man or a woman, bring more daily clothes. Don't say it doesn't matter if you can buy it in America. In fact, many sizes are not suitable for us, even if they are suitable, they are very corny unless you buy expensive brands. The weather in the southeast is hot, and it will turn cold at the end of 65438+February, with more summer clothes.
Secondly, in terms of food, unless you are in China, you are already an American.
quick
I'm crazy about food, otherwise the place I'm not used to going is definitely food. This is a nightmare. Of course, you can cook for yourself there. It's a pity that the United States is a pan, which is different from the semi-circular pan in China. Cooking is really depressing. Ask if there is an Asian supermarket there first. Perhaps Asian supermarkets can sell China's semi-circular pots, but now seriously, quite a few international students will bring a pot when they return home on holiday. . . Also, you must learn a few kinds of cooking before you leave, otherwise, like me, I will learn cooking while surfing the Internet there and call back internationally to ask your mother how to get rid of the fishy smell.
I don't know how your English is. I went there because of my poor English (how can I go to class there without taking IELTS and TOEFL? I didn't dare to speak at first, but I stammered when I opened my mouth. I don't understand what others say, but I live well. I guess I'm confused and influenced by the language environment, so I'm making rapid progress. I don't have to worry about the language, but class is more troublesome. The language used is more professional. Again, it's good to be influenced for a long time. It's been a month since the class started, and I basically don't understand it at all.
Fourth, words and deeds. Americans are very polite. Remember, if you go to a public place, open the door in front of others and don't go in after opening the door. Help the person behind you hold the door and let him pass, and they will do the same to you. Also, "thank you" is a ubiquitous sentence. Even if you ask the clerk for change, you can say thank you. Of course it's not mandatory, but everyone will do it.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) is about discrimination. This problem is inevitable. There are always people abroad who don't like being superior to others. The good thing is to be cold to you, and the bad thing is to speak ill of China to your face. The former can be ignored. My method is to turn a blind eye. You are indifferent to me, and I will be indifferent to you. I haven't lost a hair anyway. You can explain and argue with him about the latter, but don't argue. It is difficult for foreigners to change their ideas. If they don't believe you, there's nothing they can do. So contact him less. There is another kind of person who doesn't discriminate against China, but knows nothing about China. For such people, you can patiently tell them that not everyone in China sleeps on the street or something. . .
Finally, since you are in the southeast, it means that you will meet many South Americans, many of whom speak Spanish. When the Spanish word "Chian" is pronounced as "zhina", you will hear foreigners say "zhina" instead of "Chian". Otherwise, I misunderstood that they were discriminating against China, and I made this mistake at that time. A poor Colombian classmate was scolded by me for this for half a year. . . ashamed
