2. Daily necessities: It is best to bring cosmetics, which can be checked in the suitcase. Cold medicine, stomach medicine, motion sickness medicine, whatever you often use, you'd better bring a sun umbrella, umbrella and sunglasses. It is also best for girls to bring things during their physiological period. The price of daily necessities in the Philippines is higher than that in China, so you should take it as appropriate.
3. Communication articles: notebooks, mobile phones, and some mobile phones have the function of protecting the original SIM card. When you arrive in the Philippines, you are always prompted to insert the original SIM card. There is no way but to restore the factory settings. The local communication fee is relatively expensive, and generally you don't call when you arrive.
4. Online banking, Alipay, Taobao: It can be used normally without binding the domestic mobile phone number. If you have it, you can give it to someone you trust. Once you spend it online, you can ask him to tell you what the verification code is.
5, food northerners may not adapt to the Philippines when they first arrive, hot and humid. Especially the food, mainly meat, barbecue is mostly sweet. If you want to eat vegetables, I suggest you go to the local cash &; Carry, just buy fresh vegetables and cook for yourself. Very economical, about 100 RMB per week.
Pay attention when taking a taxi: there are many one ways in the local area. If you are familiar with your address, you can get off at the one-way intersection, otherwise the local driver will give you a big detour. Local thinking is inflexible, giving people a silly feeling, but you should keep a clear head. If you call a taxi for 80P and you give it to him 100P, he will not give you change, because he will think that the extra 20P is your tip, so if you don't want to tip, you'd better give him 80P directly.
The staple food of Filipinos is rice and corn.
Farmers only mash rice before cooking. Rice is cooked in a crock or bamboo tube and eaten by hand. Filipinos like to eat cassava cooked in coconut juice, rice cooked in coconut juice, and then rice wrapped in banana leaves. As food, corn is dried, ground into powder, and then made into various foods. People in the upper and middle classes in most cities eat western food.
As of 20 13, transportation in the Philippines is mainly by road and sea. The railway is underdeveloped and concentrated in Luzon Island. Air transport is mainly operated by national airlines, and there are flights between major islands.
1, money: RMB to Philippine peso is about 1:7, which can be directly calculated as 7. Before going to the Philippines, it's best to exchange about 2,000 pesos in China now. If you have friends in the Philippines, you can also exchange with them. You can count according to 7, which is convenient. You call him online and he will give you pesos. Of course, if you are lucky, the company will reimburse you within one month (converted into pesos), and you will have the living expenses for next month.
When you enter a regular office building, the company will apply for a bank card for you and transfer your salary to your card every month (some small companies don't apply for a bank card for you). After that, it will be very easy and convenient for you to remit money to China.
There are 1000,500,200 (rare), 1 00,50,20,10 (coins), 5 (coins),1(coins) and some coins. Those coins are hardly needed. You can use them.
2. Interpersonal relationship: In front of Filipinos, don't talk about the Philippines unscrupulously, because once you talk about the Philippines, they will understand, which is impolite. You can say locals. Get along with the local people, except Filipino maids and security guards who arrange accommodation for the company, it is best not to communicate too much, although the local people are also very enthusiastic.
When getting along with colleagues, never speak ill of B in front of A, and never complain about the company. Don't tell others your privacy: name, home address, ID number. No one has the right to know your information except HR in your company.
Give yourself an English name before you leave. People won't ask you this privacy, and neither should you. If you have good friends who can get along with each other for a long time, there is no need to be so nervous about this information. Talk less and do more. It's practical everywhere.
3. Online banking: If you want to use online banking, Alipay and Taobao abroad, I suggest you don't engage in SMS verification code, because you can't use domestic mobile phone numbers in the Philippines. ICBC has an electronic password, you can use it. It is much more convenient to recharge your Skype account.
4, video software: Iqiyi can't download videos in the Philippines, you can use something popular.
5, tourist map: Of course, Baidu map is not easy to use there, just use Google map.
6. Prepare two pairs of slippers that can be worn in water in China. The quality must be good. Haha, that's because it rains a lot in the rainy season in the Philippines. The sewers there are not as developed as those in China, and they will be flooded if they are not careful, especially in cityland. You can put one pair at home and one pair at the office, but don't wear slippers to work. Security guards in regular buildings won't let you in.
7. When you pass the security check on the plane, you should put cosmetics and other liquids in the suitcase. All your backpacks and handbags have to be turned out for border inspection, so don't put any underwear and metal in your backpack. You can put half of the exchanged pesos in your suitcase and half in your wallet, so you don't need to put your wallet there.
8. On the plane, no matter which flight, you will be given two lists (one or three, which may change) one or two hours before the plane lands. You can fill in the information yourself. Just fill it out truthfully. What is the purpose of your visit to the Philippines (you can tick or fill in the holiday or travel, and you can fill in any accommodation address)? You'd better fill it out on the plane and get off.
When you go out, you should hold China passport and passports from other countries. China has traditional Chinese characters, which you can easily recognize. After the border inspection, you can pick up your luggage and meet the airport pick-up staff at the exit agreed by the company.
Usually, a Filipino driver and a China executive will pick you up and take you to your residence. If there is an accident, such as your mobile phone is broken, you can use your peso to buy a local calling card (globe or smart) to contact the other party. Everything will be fine as long as we meet.
9. When you arrive and settle down, I hope you can contact your headhunter and report your safety. Use your colleague's Skype or recharge your Skype. Call home and tell me your current situation. Ok, this is the preparation before going to work in the Philippines.
