Remember to bring sanitary napkins. I'm not used to using it here. I usually bring it myself, and the products here are not marked with length.
Don't bring shampoo and shower gel, it's a waste of capacity because it's cheap here. Toothpaste and toothbrush are more expensive here. Get some towels, too.
It's best to go shopping in China once. You can't satisfy your shopping desire here, because most of them are ugly, which is suitable for China people after all.
You can also bring some food, but you can't bring meat and fresh things. I often bring some plum or something. If you send something, it will take some time, at least two weeks, unless you are UPS.
Bring some novels, although you can read them online. When you see this place, you may spend most of your time with the computer and read as little as possible. Studying abroad is boring and lonely, so I spend most of my time online watching movies or something. Speaking of watching movies, remember to download more movies and bring them here, otherwise it will be really boring.
Nothing else. Although Melbourne is a bit cold in winter, because it often rains, it will never be as cold as Shanghai (I am from Shanghai) and it will not be lower than 5 degrees, so don't bring a thick down jacket unless you are afraid of the cold. The coldest here is about 7, 8, 9 degrees. There is heating everywhere, and the coat is often taken off. Just prepare some long-sleeved clothes.
Also, take whatever you are interested in. For example, I like to light incense in my room, so I will buy some essential oil to take away.
Usually you bring a lot of things when you come for the first time. Don't bring anything if you can. I'm sure you won't use them. For example, I used to bring a yoga mat, but it didn't work for a few days, and now I don't know where it is.
By the way, remember to bring some masks or something. I don't think I've seen many masks sold here. They are only available in brand counters, but not in supermarkets. If the air conditioner is turned on too much, the skin will dry easily.
There are still some odds and ends, I'll tell you when I remember ~
Be mentally prepared ~
It's boring here! !
