When you go to England for the first time, remember:
1, tuition and living expenses are divided into two drafts. Because school dormitories are often out of the control of schools. Moreover, as soon as you come to Britain, you often have to pay the tuition fee immediately, so after writing it separately, it is easy to give the draft tuition fee to the school first, and then deposit the draft living expenses in the local bank.
When you go to England, you'd better take about 500 pounds in cash. 10 and 20 are acceptable. Never take 50 Jin. The largest denomination of British currency is 50 pounds, and no one actually uses it. Few locals in British society dare to charge 50 pounds. You don't need to bring a penny, and you can't change it at home. You can always get your pennies back when you go to spend money locally.
When you arrive in England, try to take public transportation, which is much cheaper than taxis. The starting price of taxis is 2 pounds, which is more than 0 pounds per kilometer/kloc-0. If you make a phone call, you can go to the post office to buy a relatively cheap international calling card, or go to some small shops or travel agencies. There are relatively cheap international calling cards for sale. You can call them from a public phone booth. You will know how to use them after reading the instructions. After a while, when you have a local bank account, you can buy skype credit and use skype to make any calls in China through the Internet and computers. Very cheap.
It costs 2 pounds in cash to take a bus in England. It is recommended to buy a one-day tour card, 1 7 pounds to Zone 6. Smaller areas will be cheaper, but there will be fewer places to go. One Day Travelcard is almost the only choice for tourists, because one-way air tickets in Britain are very expensive. If you buy it, you can take trains, subways, cars, light rails and trams in London at will (only Croydon has trams). But note that if you buy, for example, 1-4, it is invalid in 5-6. If you don't buy a ticket, you will be fined at least 20 pounds (240 yuan RMB). Long-distance trains are more expensive. The one-way fare from London to Edinburgh seems to cost at least 90 pounds. In this case, it is better to fly. EasyJet sells cheap air tickets and can fly from London to Scotland for tens of pounds. Taxis usually cost tens of pounds at a time.
Eating is very expensive. In a very ordinary restaurant, a meal for one person usually costs at least/kloc-0.5 to 30 pounds, and high-end ones are more expensive. Want to save money to go to KFC, McDonald's, Burger King, Subway and Pizza Hut. These things that kill people in China are for the poor in Britain; Or buy a fish &; French fries (fish and chips), about 5 kg, depends on the price of this store. A packet of Walker chips 3 1p, an ice cream cone 1.5, a box of sandwiches (two) 2, and a plate of chocolate about 25p to 1. Note: Don't expect good food when you come to Britain. The proudest thing about this country is that it doesn't like to eat like the French.
Hotels usually cost 50 pounds a day, and some even include breakfast and wireless Internet access. Internet cafe for one hour 1. Call Skype.
Many tourist attractions are free, such as most museums. London Eye is 20 pounds at a time, and Windsor Castle ticket 15 pounds. I won't list the others one by one. Tickets for most scenic spots cost more than ten kilograms.
It is recommended to prepare about 20 thousand pocket money instead of buying brand-name clothes. ( 1700)
Finally: work!
Suggest working in McDonald's. The salary of McDonald's is relatively high, so you don't have to go all the time. You can communicate with your boss and ask if you can come to work at night. Salary accounts for 60% of your usual salary, absolutely.
