◇ Reporter Jin Intern Gu
Daily Business News With the college entrance examination in 2003 drawing to a close, more and more Hang Cheng students have received "red calls" from their favorite universities. Students and parents who were worried about volunteering to fill in the information are now busy preparing for admission. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the four major items that can't be taken away except "residence", and everything else is indispensable. Especially for students studying in other places, there are four directions: east, south, west and north. Except "East", where we live, we don't need much preparation, so we should make careful preparations for any other party. What do you need to prepare to study thousands of miles away? How should parents pack their children?
To go to the north, you should buy cotton-padded clothes locally.
Xiaowen, currently majoring in international trade at Beijing University of Technology, entered the school in 2000. She has been studying in Beijing for three years and comes back once or twice every winter and summer vacation. Because I went to college in Beijing, Xiaowen said that shopping is still very convenient. Generally speaking, there are supermarkets, small commodity markets and so on near the school.
There is a saying in the north that "delicious food does not include jiaozi", but Xiaowen told reporters that southerners may not be used to jiaozi in the north. The main problem lies in the "stuffing": the most famous jiaozi in the north is called "jiaozi with pork and green onions", and there are a lot of strong green onions in the stuffing. "Even if I am not afraid to pick out all the green onions, the smell of green onions in pork can't be removed, so at first I ate jiaozi with this taste, basically only eating skin." Xiaowen also added that other dishes in the school are usually mixed with onions, ginger and garlic, because there is an important step called "frying pan" before cooking in the north, that is, stir the onions, ginger and garlic in the oil pan first. So be sure to bring chewing gum to try after dinner. Also, it's best to get used to the taste of onions, ginger and garlic now, and don't get used to living on instant noodles every day.
Wearing "the north wind blows, there is snow in the wind" is probably the most direct impression of the climate in the north, so many parents will buy a lot of cotton-padded clothes and trousers for their children who go to study in the north and take them with them all the way. "At the beginning, my mother is like this. Thick clothes brought me a whole box. In fact, although it is cold in the north, there is basically heating in the room, so it is enough to wear a sweater in the room. You only need to wear a thick coat when you walk on the road, one or two are almost the same. Moreover, it is best to buy thick cotton-padded clothes locally, because the coat thickness in the north is suitable, and the coat in the south is generally not thick enough. "
Because Xiaowen is studying in Beijing, there are generally national supermarket chains near the school, and the price is similar to that of Hangzhou, so there is no need to buy some daily necessities in Hangzhou. Special reminder: because the weather in the north is particularly dry, the skin will be uncomfortable. Students with allergies or other skin diseases should remember to bring relevant drugs and skin care products. And because you often use heating, your throat will be very dry when you get up in the morning. It is best to bring throat lozenges.
Take gastrointestinal medicine with you when you go west.
Xiao Shan studied at Southwest Agricultural University. "When I first arrived in Chongqing, what impressed me the most was that the RMB was so valuable here. For a student, the living expenses of 300 yuan per month are almost enough. Of course, as long as you have the ability, you will naturally find a place to spend. "
Eating in Chongqing is a place famous for its spicy taste, especially Chongqing hot pot, which is not only spicy but also "miscellaneous", that is, all kinds of ingredients are stewed together to absorb the fragrance of each ingredient. "Hot pot is very fresh, but it is not suitable for southerners. Because stewed meat is miscellaneous, such as animal offal, some leftovers and so on. It is inevitably unclean, and it must be spicy. Southerners have never experienced this, and their stomachs can't stand it. Besides, most of the food in school is spicy. Students with bad stomachs must bring relevant medicines just in case.
Because of traffic and economic reasons, the fashion of clothing in the west is relatively backward, and the grade of clothing is relatively low. But it will be much more expensive to buy the same clothes there than in Hangzhou, because the popular clothes there are usually shipped from here, and there is a toll when they are sold. So it's more affordable for Hang Cheng students who like to follow the trend to buy more beautiful clothes to take with them.
Because many places in the west (such as Chongqing) are mountain cities, compared with Hangzhou, the roads are not so wide and flat, so students who like to go out must bring some pairs of shoes with wear-resistant soles.
Although the prices of some daily necessities in the west are still relatively cheap, because schools are generally in the suburbs and there are few large supermarkets nearby, there are usually some small supermarkets to purchase goods, and there is not much choice. If you have higher requirements for the quality and grade of the goods, you should take the trouble to bring them there. Special reminder: Chongqing is one of the "four furnaces", a mountain city. The weather is sultry, and heatstroke prevention drugs are still needed. "And there are more mosquitoes there, so people who especially recruit mosquitoes should bring anti-mosquito supplies."
Take more shirts to study in the south.
Xiao Jian, who just graduated from Sun Yat-sen University, still has a say in his luggage if he wants to study in the south. "If you go to study in the south, you will spend more money in open coastal cities, but for ordinary students, the monthly living expenses of 600- 1000 yuan are enough." As the saying goes, "Eating in Guangzhou" is familiar to everyone, but Xiao Jian, who grew up in the Mainland, thinks that Cantonese cuisine is nothing more than a feature: lightness. Guangdong people believe in health preservation. They think that light food is the most beneficial to the human body, so it is best for students with heavy taste or spicy food to bring their own condiments or spicy sauce.
Even some students who have just arrived in Guangdong are not used to the water there, so they get used to it easily, so students who don't usually go out can buy some pure water to drink when they first live in the south.
According to Xiao Jian, the heat and humidity in the south make people easily get angry, which in turn evokes beautiful acne, so the drugs for clearing away heat and toxic materials should not be forgotten. On the first day, it is necessary to drink herbal tea every day, and you don't need to bring it, because the streets and alleys in Guangzhou are everywhere. The climate in the south is warm and humid, so you basically don't need to wear a cotton-padded jacket. You can keep out the cold by wearing a sweater in the coldest time. Take more ordinary T-shirts and shirts because the utilization rate is higher. School starts in September, and the temperature is generally around 345 degrees. Just wear short sleeves. Special reminder: Although the humidity in the south is high, the skin will still be a little dry under the sea breeze, and it is very easy to get sunburned under the dual effects of the sun and the sea breeze, so be sure to bring sunscreen and moisturizing products, and it is best to bring an umbrella when going out.
As the saying goes, children are worried when they travel a thousand miles. After preparing their bags for the students who travel far away, they should also give some advice to most of the students who stay behind.
Schoolbag: You can put your favorite common books and some notebooks in your schoolbag, but not too many, because books greatly increase the weight of luggage, and the school will issue more notebooks after school. In addition, English dictionaries or music stars, walkman, English or music tapes and stationery are indispensable for university study. It should be noted that the admission notice, admission documents, ID card and a small amount of money should be put in your carry-on bag, which is more convenient to use.
Small medicine cabinet: it is necessary to prepare some daily medicines, mainly common cold medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs, antidiarrheal drugs, painkillers, clear gunpowder, oral anti-inflammatory drugs and personal standing medicines for special diseases.
Daily bag: toiletries, such as toothpaste and toothbrush; Facial cleanser, cream and sunscreen for girls (necessary for military training); Boys' razors and so on. These things are generally for personal use and are used every day. Generally, freshmen need to do a lot of things when they arrive at school. It is too hasty to buy these things, so it is better to bring them yourself.
