In general, like other cities, there is nothing special about it. Compared with Huaihai Road in Sihai City, there are just more businesses and the distance you can walk is longer.

Except for health products and uggs, there is no big price advantage in shopping in Australia. Because most luxury goods are originally from Europe and the United States, the prices of most things are similar to those in China, and you can only make money from tax refunds (not everyone can get a refund successfully, see the tax refund guide for details).

Unless you are buying high-end, fashionable and classy watches or diamonds (which are still much cheaper than in China. A bag or diamond ring worth around 200,000 yuan will only cost 100,000 to 120,000 yuan after tax refund in Sydney), it is better to save other bags, scarves, wallets, etc. worth 10,000 to 20,000 yuan for when you travel in Europe.

When it comes to health supplements, Australia is heaven. There are a wide variety of products, everything you need, and most importantly, they are cheap (compared to the prices of health supplements in China). Since the health supplement market in China is relatively mixed, it is natural to buy a lot when you come to Australia.

Deep-sea fish oil, golden nutrients for pregnant women, propolis, honey, shark liver capsules, etc. are all very good health products. Long-term consumption of the right medicine can play a very effective health care role, and the cost is almost negligible when spread out every day. Because there is no excessive packaging, it is also very convenient to carry.

Some domestic e-commerce or imported counters in shopping malls also sell it, but the products are not complete and the price is at least 2~2.5 times higher than the local price. So friends who go to Australia to play, don't forget to bring some for yourself and your relatives and friends~

Okay, back to the point: uggs. Every woman wants to have a pair of snow boots that are both good-looking and warm in winter. For indoors, there is a pair of warm cotton shoes.

Therefore, uggs have become the focus of everyone's purchase. But if you only recognize the brand of uggs, you may buy a pair of "big-name goods". Therefore, it is very important to grasp the key points to buy the right uggs. I have elaborated on this topic in detail on the third day for your reference.

After n hours of hard work, we finally completed the task successfully. I would like to thank my sister and brother-in-law for their strong support. Under your professional guidance, the difficulty of the task was reduced from insane to easy.

After buying the things, I went back to the hotel to pack them. Although there were 4 large boxes (in Australia, each person can carry 1 portable luggage under 7kg and 2 checked luggage under 23kg), but because there were too many things and I had to refund the tax, I had to make it convenient for the tax refund, not exceed the weight, and pack as much as possible.

It was not an easy job. It required knowledge of mathematics, physics, natural sciences, etc. Fortunately, Yunluo and An Qingju were both well-educated people, and they worked together. Finally, they solved this difficult task. They asked the hotel to bring a scale for measurement. The GW of each box was within 22.5~22.8.

Success at the first try! You know, this is not so easy to do, because in addition to the different sizes, shapes, and weights of the items inside, the tare weight of the boxes themselves is also different. So, how much to put in each box, how to put it, and which one to put in first are all a science. So when it was finally completed.

There is a secret hidden in every pair of shoes. I still want to make a free advertisement here: Samsonite's ultra-light suitcase is really useful. I originally thought it was useful because of its portability. Almost no matter whether you pull it horizontally or vertically, you can use the least effort to pull the heaviest suitcase. But this is still secondary.

After shopping, I realized the real advantage of it: light! Really light! Compared with ordinary boxes, it is at least 2kg lighter, which means you can put n pairs of shoes or n pieces of clothes. Especially if you are already overweight, you can save a box and extra luggage fees.

You should know that the "bargained luggage fee" abroad is not ordinary expensive. So if you go out to play, especially to Europe (France), remember to look for Samsonite. After packing, you can finally lie on the sofa and bed to enjoy the benefits of the view room.

Although the flight was booked at around 10 am, considering the Australian customs and its cumbersome and disgusting tax refund process (thanks to the girl for her great support and explanation in advance), it was more than 4 am when it was still dark.

Yunluo and An Qingju left their warm beds and got on a taxi to the airport, dragging their bags and suitcases. Fortunately, they were familiar with the route this time, and after reporting the international airport and terminal, the car drove to the destination.

Sydney was quiet in the early morning, and it only took about a quarter of an hour to get to the airport. When I got off the bus and prepared to take the luggage cart, I suddenly found that all the carts were locked and I had to pay 4 dollars to use them! Regardless of whether the price was expensive or not, Yunluo didn't have any change on him at the time, and the machine could only accept coins, but not banknotes or credit cards.

Although Yunluo and An Qingjue's suitcases were easy to drag, moving 4 large suitcases and 2 carry-on luggage at the same time and going through the tax refund process was simply a mission impossible. And looking around, there was no one, not even a ghost.

Fortunately, Yunluo reacted quickly and stopped the taxi driver in time, asking him to change some money for Yunluo. The man was also straightforward and gave Yunluo a 4-yuan coin, saying that he would give Yunluo a ride. So, Yunluo and An Qingju finally got a luggage cart.

With the car, we drove to the first customs tax refund office (for checked luggage tax refund). Since the luggage cart could not go downstairs directly from the escalator, we had to find the elevator. But this elevator was really hard to find. At first, I saw one from a distance and moved there excitedly, only to find that there were two pillars at the elevator door.

The car couldn't get through. We had to give up this one and look for another. Although Sydney International Airport is not as big as Pudong Airport, it is not much smaller. Besides, it was too early in the morning and we couldn't ask anyone. So, Yunluo and An Qingju began a detailed carpet search. 20 minutes later.

I found an elevator in a corner on the other side. When I got downstairs, I found that there were more people. I felt happy and sad. I was happy that I could finally find someone to ask for directions, but I was sad because I was afraid that there would be a long queue for tax refunds. I heard from Yunluo that she waited in line for more than an hour last time and almost missed the tax refund.

This is why Yunluo arrived at the airport 5 hours in advance. When I arrived at TRS, I found that there was only one person in front of me. I was happy! The inspecting officer was a kind lady. After asking a few questions, she opened the box and randomly selected a few items. She asked Yunluo to tell me which items on the invoice they corresponded to, and then stamped the invoice and left.

The whole process took less than 5 minutes, and Yunluo was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes!

But when Yunluo and An Qingjue walked out of the office, more than a dozen people came behind them, so RP is still very important, haha. Since time is saved here, you can have enough time to rest and adjust. So you can get your boarding pass as soon as possible and reach the customs tax refund point (duty-free goods) at the second stop as quickly as possible.

Since boarding passes can only be obtained 3 to 3.5 hours in advance, Yunluo began to slow down and recover his strength. There is also an episode here. Because Yunluo and An Qingjue's flight information could not be seen, Yunluo sat at the China Air Line and waited until he could get his boarding pass, but found that there was no movement.

So I asked the airport staff: Why is there no flight information for Air China (specific flight number) yet, and why haven't they started issuing boarding passes yet?

Several foreign staff members asked Yunluo to wait, but fortunately, she met a Chinese person in the end. After asking Yunluo in Chinese whether she wanted to take Air China, he said that Air China was Formosa Airlines. The flight information board at the airport was broken, and Air China was in the front, so she should start to exchange for boarding passes. Oh, what a nice person~

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Fortunately, the two were not far apart. When I arrived, I found that the line had already started. Although I was not the first in line, at least it had just started and I still had time. In front of Yunluo was an elderly couple. I guess their children were in Australia, and they came to visit them and then return home. I guess they had rarely taken a plane.

The children did not tell the elderly about the relevant precautions in advance. The two checked in 30kgs of luggage, which was overweight. The airline staff spoke to them in English for a long time, saying that it could not exceed 23kg, and if it was overweight, it would not be allowed on board, and asked them to find a way to throw away the things and reduce it to less than 23kg.

The old couple obviously didn't understand English. After the staff repeated it twice, they impatiently threw their luggage aside. It was totally different from how they did with foreigners in China, where they would find someone who knew foreign languages ​​to communicate with them. When it was Yunluo and An Qingju's turn, the other party asked them in English proficiently, how many pieces of luggage did they have and whether they were overweight. They had made sufficient preparations before.

Yunluo answered fluently in English. The other party weighed them and they were all 22.5~22.8kgs each, and the hand luggage was not over the limit. Suddenly, they switched to Chinese to talk to Yunluo and An Qingju. Only then did Yunluo realize that she could speak Chinese. It was normal to think about it, after all, it was Air China. Damn it, why did they suffer for the old couple...

Yunluo asked her to label two of the boxes as fragile items and give her a window seat, and she readily agreed.

Maybe it was because Yunluo saved her time. After Yunluo and An Qingjue finished, the old couple was still sorting their things. Yunluo said to them, "Go buy a suitcase or a simple bag. Each person can bring up to two. Now you only have one suitcase, so just get a bag and carry some things."

The couple suddenly realized what was going on and thanked Yunluo. Yunluo cursed the old couple's children in his heart, knowing that their parents didn't understand English and were old and slow to react, why didn't they tell them the key points in advance, letting them suffer this on the spot. (To be continued...)
