Now let's not talk about property, let's talk about how to spend the least money, eat well, play well, dress well and learn well in Britain ~
Before I went abroad, I searched the Internet for a lot of articles that I had to bring to study in Britain, and I took things according to the above rules. After coming, I found that the value of things I brought was similar to the price here, and some things were even much cheaper here ~
First of all, when you arrive in London, the first thing you must do is to go to the supermarket ~ ~ ~ (There are several large supermarkets here, please note that not everything is cheap, and not everything is expensive ~ ~ It depends on whether you are willing to shop around ~ ~)
Argos:
(First of all, go shopping in ARGOS and read its book, which introduces all the items. Then there is a piece of paper next to it, write down the article number of the item you need, and take it to PAYMANT to pay. You can take some brochures and books home and read them slowly.
1. Mobile clothes hangers are usually 7.99 kg each, 13 kg each, and sometimes 5.99 kg each for activities. With the dryer, washing clothes won't cost 2.50 pounds.

Chopping board (it's fragile. You can bring a wooden chopping board from China if you like. Of course, you can also buy something a little more expensive here (ASDA's chopping board is 3 pounds for two)
5. Kitchen knife (the kitchen knife in 99P shop can't cut vegetables quickly, so choose it yourself)

3. Quick-frozen food: There are many quick-frozen things in his house, some of which are about a catty.

Seasonings and the like are best brought in China, especially chicken essence.
Dry goods such as fungus, tremella, mushrooms, kelp and vermicelli can also be brought.
If you want to drink soybean milk, you need to bring more soybeans. They sell 10 yuan a catty here.
There is no water-based pen here. Most of them are ballpoint pens.
As for clothes, personally, if there is a discount here, you can find a lot of good clothes. Generally, summer vacation and Christmas are the most discounted. Boys and girls must prepare a formal suit (it doesn't need to be too expensive, you can also come and buy it. Black leather shoes must be bought in China, boys and girls alike. If girls like to wear high heels, bring more pairs at home. Girls can prepare a short-sleeved cheongsam. If you like to wear converse, buy it in China. It's more expensive here than in China.
Medicines-Band-Aids, scald ointment, gauze (you can bring more, sometimes when cooking and squeezing soybean milk), adhesive tape, cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, iodine, alcohol, etc. Look at your personal needs. . .
It is enough to bring an umbrella from China. Of course, it is better to buy a folding umbrella.
You must have two pairs of short-sighted glasses, just in case. If you can wear contact lenses, you'd better have another pair. Of course, you should bring enough potions.
Must-take list
When students go abroad for the first time, they can bring 40 kilograms of things (actually they can be 2 kilograms overweight). Shh ~ ~ So 42kg is the limit. As for carry-on luggage, it depends on the fire. The first time I went to London from Wuhan, I carried at least 30 kilograms on my shoulder, and no one checked it ~ ~ ~ But when I returned to London from Shanghai at Christmas, I checked the weight of my carry-on luggage. Hey, my suitcase is overweight. Fortunately, there were two other students at that time, so that the three people shared a little weight on average (maximum carry-on baggage 10 kg)
I. Clothing
The climate in London is really hard to fathom. It has been winter since June 1 1, and now it is June, and the temperature is still very low. Although there are several hot weather in the middle, people think that summer is coming. When you go out with short sleeves, a cold wind makes you put on a thick coat ~
Personally, I think I can buy clothes when I come to England. Of course, you should bring some clothes first, instead of going shopping as soon as you come. When I first came here, you certainly couldn't adapt to this price. I thought everything was multiplied by 10. Since returning to China at Christmas, I feel that many things here are cheaper than those in China even if multiplied by 1 1 (the exchange rate at that time) ~
1. underwear and socks (anyway, these things don't take up much weight, just take one year)
2.Bra~ The Bra here is somewhat different from the domestic bra ~ ~ Hehe, it is best to bring 3-4 sets.
3. Girls' stockings (flesh-colored, black) socks and stockings
4. Girls' skirts (see for yourself)
5. You can bring two short sleeves.
6.2 Long sleeves. Basically, as soon as I arrived in London in mid-August, I began to wear long sleeves and coats.
7. Thin coat and back coat.
8. The coat (1 piece) is dark.
9. Down jacket (1 piece) is dark.
10. gloves
1 1. I don't wear long autumn clothes and trousers. If you are really afraid of the cold in winter, you can bring two sets, just thin ones, and don't bring that extra thick autumn clothes. At that time, you obviously installed it. How did you bring it back to China?
12. Scarves, scarves (especially needed, even if it is not windproof, it can also play a decorative role around).
13. Hat (1, 2 hats will do)
14. Boys need to bring formal clothes, which are not too expensive and you don't care. Anyway, it's enough to wear it out to meet people. Must match leather shoes.
15. Girls should also bring formal clothes. In addition, they can bring a set of cheongsam. Although there are not many opportunities to wear it, it may be useful one day. Don't buy anything too expensive anyway. 100-200 is similar.
16. Slippers: a pair of sandals and a pair of cotton slippers.
17. pajamas, 2 sets in summer and 2 sets in winter (in fact, you can bring one set in summer and buy another set in winter when you get here. primark is super cheap).
18. Take two pairs of jeans. Clothes are cheap here, but pants can't be curled ~ ~
19. A belt
20. Canvas shoes (converse is more expensive than China and VANS is cheaper than China)
2 1. Girls' leather shoes ~ ~ The shoes here are either 10CM high heels or flat heels. There is nothing to follow ~ ~ so, bring 2 or 3 pairs of leather shoes from China. There must be a pair of black shoes. The shoes here are too big, and girls with small feet can only buy children's shoes, so they bring them from China ~ ~ ~
22. Girls can bring more nail polish and trinkets. It's not heavy anyway, just take it with you.
(Just buy all the cosmetics here, which is basically half price in China) (Muji cotton pad is especially recommended ~ ~ super easy to use)
Let's talk about this now. Anyway, I think I should bring as few clothes as possible, as long as I have something to wear when I come. When you fly, you must take a thin coat. Although I know that the weather in August makes it a bit unrealistic for you to get on the plane in your overcoat, when you get off the plane and set foot on British soil, you will feel the cold wind coming ~ ~ ~
Students who are airsick, it is necessary to take some airsickness medicine before boarding the plane ~ ~ ~ Like I don't get airsick, I ruined the carpet on the Air China plane beautifully when I came ~ ~ Hehe ~ ~
Step 2: Eat
Uh-huh, eating is very important ~ ~ How to learn if you don't have enough to eat ~ ~ Note that these things are not necessary. According to personal requirements ~ ~ They are also sold in China City, which is bound to be much more expensive than China ~ ~ ~
1. Seasoning: chicken essence, spicy fresh, pepper, pepper peel, marinade bag, small bottle of sesame oil, sesame sauce, Laoganma, soy sauce. If you like noodles, you can bring all kinds of spices, pickled mustard tuber and pickles according to your personal preference.

32. The wok doesn't need to be too big, but it should be flat-bottomed and have a lid. There are all electric stoves here ~ ~ I still recommend coming and buying them. ARGOS, wok-4.99kg -30cm, serial number: 86 1 2603 (domestic small hardware stores had better sell 30cm pot lids, and there are no pot lids here, so it's hard to cook food, only one pot lid.
33. When buying a rice cooker in China, you should buy the smallest one with a steamer. I bought 100 yuan ~ ~ from the industry and trade household appliances (the school sometimes makes it cheap, saying that the rice cooker in China doesn't meet the standard of their plug here, so remember to put it in the cupboard every time you use it).

42. Pot (with two small pots)
Four. others
1. Book: Oxford English-Chinese Advanced Dictionary (Simplified Edition), available at Xinhua Bookstore. It's usually useless. You can look up words with you during the exam.
