Shopping: Domestic Consolidation

• If you cannot buy what you need in Australia, or think it is too expensive, you can consider purchasing it from China and then sending it through a shipping company. It is recommended to use E-Hangda.

Friendship

• Use social media and apps to build a network:

1. Facebook
2. Instagram and Twitter: Social media commonly used by local young people
3. Tinder: A stranger social application, similar to a certain domestic exploration app
4. WhatsApp: WeChat abroad
5. Snapchat: Helps you build connections with locals

Travel

• Taxi apps: Uber, Didi

• When riding a bus, you must press the red button for it to stop.
• You also need to press the button when waiting for the traffic light, otherwise the light will always be red.

Housing

• Pay attention to the direction of the room. Rooms facing west or south are hot in summer and cold in winter. If you mind, avoid choosing these rooms.
• Don't rent a room without lighting, it will feel depressing
