If you study abroad, you can refer to the following items.
China special food
In fact, in foreign countries, most Chinese spices (such as cooking wine, aged vinegar, soy sauce, laoganma, etc. ) and puffed snacks that international students like to eat can be found in domestic supermarkets, even in Asian supermarkets such as Thailand or South Korea. Although the average price will be higher than that in China, it is still quite cheap compared with foreign local snacks. You don't have to worry about not being able to buy them abroad, and you don't have to prepare these bottles and cans that are difficult to carry.
I suggest you bring some vegetarian food from your hometown (most of the inbound luggage is required). For example, lotus root starch in Hangzhou, hot pot seasoning in Sichuan and so on. These foods can not only help you feel homesick at special times, but also create enough topics when inviting professors and classmates to taste together, earn enough face for you and let international friends know about the food culture of the motherland.
field/marching rations
According to the experience of many foreign mothers around us, the most suitable Chinese food to take abroad is all kinds of dry goods. If you happen to like it, dried fungus, mushrooms, peppers, longan, red dates and dried bamboo shoots are all recommended by Bian Xiao, because they are light in weight and do not take up space for packaging and consignment. These dry goods are only sold in some foreign supermarkets in China, but the price is on the high side. Soak your hair before you want to eat, so that you can smell and taste porcelain.
Rice cooker
For China people, eating is always the biggest, and rice is an important part of it. Therefore, in addition to the above food, it is strongly recommended that you bring a mini rice cooker to study abroad. The rice cookers sold abroad are expensive and have a single function. On the contrary, the rice cookers bought in China are not only cheap, but also have various cooking modes (small steamers are often given away). With a household rice cooker, you can cook soup, cook all kinds of fried rice and steamed vegetables, and even eat under the rice cooker when you don't want to go out and there is no kitchen in the dormitory. It never rains but it pours!
TMC (Traditional Chinese Medicine)
Whether in the United States, Britain or other countries studying abroad, it is usually more expensive to see a doctor and buy medicine, and they are mainly western medicines with strong medicinal properties. For foreign students who have just arrived in China, even if they have a slight cold or fever, it is often a tricky thing to buy what kind of western medicine. Therefore, in the luggage of studying abroad, it is necessary to prepare some commonly used Chinese medicine cold medicines (such as Radix Isatidis in China), antipyretics, antidiarrheal medicines, and digestion medicines. All these will save us from the quagmire at the critical moment.
Taking these traditional Chinese medicines can not only reassure parents and international students to a certain extent, but also save money and prevent accidents such as medical treatment. Of course, if you have special symptoms, please go to a regular hospital for consultation and don't take medicine yourself.
stationery
Stationery abroad is usually more expensive. For example, in Britain, the most common fountain pen usually costs more than ten yuan. Therefore, domestic students can buy some notebooks and pens in the wholesale market before departure, so as to cover the demand for stationery during their study abroad as much as possible, and of course the weight of stationery should also be considered.
For girls, hair ropes, clips, combs and other small objects are essential. The prices of these things abroad are also relatively high.
Of course, all the food or items mentioned above are just experiences. Before you pack your luggage, you'd better check the latest entry regulations of the countries where you study, in case you bring things that you can't bring into the country, causing unnecessary trouble.
