What do I need to prepare to go to New Zealand?
Apart from fooling New Zealand Customs with chocolate, it is recommended not to bring any food except instant noodles. New Zealand Customs severely punishes passengers carrying prohibited food for the simple reason that New Zealand is an island country with little contact with the outside world. Once the natural enemies of various plants, cattle and sheep enter, it will have disastrous consequences. Botanical things, planted and living plants, etc. , basically will be seized by the customs, forcibly confiscated or inspected; Animal food, all kinds of cattle, sheep and pork, is best not to bring, especially beef. The mad cow disease in Europe is considered as a good opportunity for New Zealand to expand its beef exports. Even the topic of our class is this, don't you think? Right?

I didn't bring a quilt, but I brought a pillow towel, pillowcase and sheets. Each person has two sets of quilts. The specifications of beds in New Zealand are not quite the same as those in China. The quilt can hardly be used (single quilt can be used). The prices here are basically 35/ single, 45/ double (big bed or double) and 55/ triple (king, it seems that the wife and children are all ready? )。 Quilt, I feel that the next day in Auckland, my friend took me to the warehouse to buy a single-room quilt and gave me a pillow 19.99, but I thought the pillow was too thin, so I bought a thick pillow of 8.99. Now only the thick pillow is still with me, and the single quilt has become a mattress. Because it is too thin to cope with summer and will freeze people to death in winter, it is a double quilt in 1 19.99 warehouse. When I took it home, it had "extra large" written on its corner. After that, even the wife and children's things are ready ~ ~ electric mattress, don't forget. It's hard to live in winter in New Zealand. Windows are basically single windows, and the walls are mainly made of wood (each brick is 3-5 New Zealand dollars, which is estimated that the landlord can't afford), which is hollow and not very warm.
As long as there is no sunshine in winter, the room is cold. The electric heater doesn't work, 2 kW is still relatively small, and it uses 2 kWh per hour, and 20 minutes is gone (each kWh is generally between 8- 1 1 min depending on the power company); The electric mattress is good, only 100 watt, and there is not much money in a day, so the landlord generally doesn't mind that you leave the electric mattress on, especially in winter, so you can't freeze people to death.
Moreover, it always rains in Auckland in winter, and the house you can rent will not always be so sunny. As long as it is a shady room (facing south), it must be damp. At this time, you can also use the electric mattress to bake bedding. Anyway, the landlord won't just come into your room. If they enter, they will sue him. Therefore, my greatest enjoyment in winter is to watch my roommate climb there and shake the desktop, while I climb on the bed and surf the Internet with an electric mattress on, and these are also the same price. On March/0/4, I bought a notebook computer, NZD 3649, Toshiba, and the price was reduced by 400 two months later. Bond saw that 2999 was sold again. I was the display screen of 12. 1, which was 13 inch, and I was so angry that I vomited blood ~ ~

I brought two pairs of sneakers (China's shoes, the soles are not strong and wear-resistant, so far, they have been scrapped); A pair of leather shoes, a pair of casual shoes (I wear them on my feet now), a pair of slippers (slippers in New Zealand are basically 15/ pair) and a pair of sandals (I bought a pair of sandals in New Zealand and bought them in the warehouse). After wearing it for 5 days, the heel fell off, and it was both feet! ) Water boots are not widely worn in China now, so you should not ... wear them ... to keep up with the domestic market. The genuine sneakers here are not too expensive compared with the consumption level in China and here. Nike, Adidas and other brand shoes, the older styles will be between 100- 180; I don't know about the new model, but there are 249 cases. Leather shoes are old-fashioned and there are not many styles. Let's take them from China. Casual shoes are also backward.
