What do I need to prepare for going to Africa?
First: Work is necessary.

1, notebook computer (strong waterproof computer bag and portable computer cleaning supplies are required)

2, mobile hard disk (more than 80G is preferred, always back up important information to avoid accidents and regrets, and you can also copy some movies, songs, novels, etc. China products you like).

3. U disk (U disk is always more convenient than moving hard disk when copying materials)

4, computer operating system installation disk (when the system is paralyzed, you will know that it is a life-saving straw, not easy to buy locally)

5. A wiring board (at least 6 jacks around)

6. Several adapter plugs (African buildings have many European characteristics, and the wiring sockets in the house are different in Otawa, so you don't need to bring them. You can buy it in the local market, all of which are made in China).

7. Commonly used software, especially the Office series (the Internet speed in Africa is generally very slow, so downloading from the Internet is really unrealistic).

8, mobile phone (with two mobile phones, one for your own use and one stolen. If you're lucky, there are two more before you return to China. At the destination, you can buy a local SIM card and install it, plus a battery charger).

9. Digital camera (there are many subjects to shoot in work and life, so it is difficult to go so far, so shoot more)

10, electronic dictionary (if you think your English or French is not enough, you need to look up words at any time, bring a copy)

1 1. Notepad for business (the price of stationery in Africa is 3-5 times that of China).

12, your favorite books, music, professional books, you can also bring some new things to learn, such as English, French books or books that can find African indigenous languages (you are lonely in Africa more often, learn to enjoy this loneliness and kill time in loneliness).

13, briefcase of suitable size (carrying important documents, money, passport, etc. )

14. Stationery: ballpoint pen+refill, ruler, triangle, eraser, schoolbag (slightly larger), punching machine, binder, signature pen, signature refill, mechanical pencil+refill, glue stick, scissors, stapler, post-it notes, transparent glue, erasing tape, etc.

Second: necessities of life

1, suit and formal suit 1 set (for very formal occasions, wear a full suit even at 35℃)

2. White shirt with 2 sets of trousers (skirts) (if you have worked for more than 1 year, it is recommended to bring at least 3 sets, which you need to wear when meeting or receiving customers. )

3, 2~3 ties

4, a variety of T-shirts, all kinds of texture, color, length and thickness.

5. 1 suit of clothes suitable for sports

6. Swimsuit/pants (you can't wear underwear when you go to the beach to relax on holidays, hehe)

7. 1 set of casual outdoor clothes (sometimes when you feel that wearing a shirt is too formal and wearing a t-shirt is too casual, outdoor clothes can just achieve the central effect. You can also bring more outdoor clothes and less T-shirts.

8. Waterproof or windproof coat.

9, socks and underwear or disposable underwear (according to their usual frequency to calculate the number, this should be known to everyone, I suggest you try to bring, especially girls love clean)

10, sports shoes 1~2 pairs, insoles 10 pairs.

1 1, 2 pairs of slippers (most of the slippers in Africa are low-quality flip-flops with split thumbs, and most people in China are not used to wearing that style of shoes. When you get here, you will find that slippers have become the shoes you wear most often, because black people usually wear slippers to attend various occasions, so it is not impossible to bring an extra pair.

12, hat 1 (If you buy it in China, you can choose a style that you think is cool. Black hats are not very good and expensive. Outdoor sports suggest a thin sun hat with a narrow eaves)

13 and 1 pair of sunglasses (if you care about protecting your eyes, you should buy them in regular stores in China).

14, myopia glasses and glasses cloth (in addition to the existing ones, there are 1 pair).

15, contact lens (if any)

16, sewing box and sewing kit

17 portable folding umbrella

18, toiletries, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, shower gel, shampoo, sunscreen, toilet water, perfume, comb, mirror, hair clip, hair band, men's razor, etc. Because most of these daily necessities come from Europe, they are very different from our skin and living habits. Although there are such products from China, the quality is really different. In addition, if your destination is a remote rural area or a long-term construction site, vegetables are hard to buy, let alone daily necessities, so how much you bring depends on the actual living environment)

19. Sealable plastic or other cups (it is difficult to buy sealed cups in Africa, which can be used to make tea brought from China. It must have a large capacity, preferably 1L or more. Africa is hot and sweaty, so be sure to bring enough water when you go out. Don't expect to use drinks and beer as supplementary water sources every day, as in China, unless your salary is high enough)

20. A set of suitable and convenient hairdressing tools (many African countries do not allow foreigners to open beauty salons, and the streets are run by locals, but it is best not to go. First, black hair naturally curls, grows slowly, has a simple hairstyle, and the barber's skills are not good. More importantly, Africa is a high incidence area of AIDS.

2 1, mosquito net (the first mosquito control in Africa) Asian summer sleeping mat, small quilt, quilt cover

22, flashlight (preferably manual emergency charging, solar charging, Africa often power outages, if you buy dry batteries, remember to buy rechargeable batteries)

23. Multifunctional Swiss Army Knife

24. Small portable series has 1 electric batons (for self-defense, according to my experience, the robbers here are all armed with knives, and those with guns will not drive easily. You can buy a gun for 2000 RMB here in Ghana, but be careful not to injure yourself by mistake. On the contrary, electric batons can surprise the bad guys.

25. transistor radio (plus spare battery): once something goes wrong, the coup will occupy the TV station first. To get information, we can only rely on foreign radio broadcasts (targeting the British BBC and the French RFI, and reporting the situation of African countries quickly and accurately).

26, candles and lighters (smokers must, you can bring a few more, don't bring the kind of domestic 1 yuan 1, bring a few more good ones).

27. Fans and small ceiling fans

28. Passport, ID card and yellow book on epidemic prevention: make multiple copies for later use.

29. Small national flags of China, France and Britain: If the coup is aimed at a specific country or received,

With the support of the state, improvise and play the correct national flag. China people have a good relationship in Africa. If something goes wrong, our five-star flag should work. However, the French and the British evacuated overseas Chinese quickly and could borrow money if necessary. As for the American flag, it is better not to.

Third: health is very important.

1, medicine for malaria (this is very, very important, sometimes the company will prepare it for you. There are not many varieties, and retail pharmacies can't buy them, such as Ketaixin, artesunate tablets, artemether, dihydroartemisinin, Bokui, chlorokui ... It is recommended to know the pathogenesis of malaria in detail and treat it in time before going abroad)

2. There are also main needles to prepare cold medicine, stomach medicine, painkillers, eye drops and other related drugs for their multiple diseases. In addition, they also brought cool anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Radix Isatidis, Niuhuang tablets, Piyanping, Yunnan Baiyao aerosol and Band-Aids. Don't forget to bring essential balm and cool oil. This is not only a good medicine for relieving swelling and itching, but also a good gift, especially favored by black friends.

3, mosquito repellent toilet water 1 bottle/February (you can bring some wind oil and cool oil, although you can buy medicine here, but the strange mbth makes you particularly annoying to choose, and the price is almost more than 5 times that of China).

4. Thermometer

5, condoms (spare, in many parts of Africa, you can see advertisements promoting AIDS and condoms. You should pay attention to protect yourself at the critical moment)

6, commonly used drugs:

Indigestion: Huoxiang Zhengqi Pill, Julie Changle, Xieliting, Berberine and Norfloxacin Capsules

Flu Yinqiao Tablet, Contac, Ganmaotong, Xiaohuojiu Jiedu Tablet, watermelon frost Runhou Tablet.

Piyanping and Dakening Cream

Allergy-chlorpheniramine and chlorpheniramine

Trauma medicine-Yunnan Baiyao Band-Aid, Yunnan Baiyao, safflower oil

Trauma care-tourniquet, medical cotton, medical gauze

Anti-inflammatory drugs-amoxicillin capsules, Qingre Jiedu tablets, roxithromycin.

Special note: if you are sick, it is best not to go to the local hospital, especially for injections and infusions. If possible, it is best to go to China Hospital, French Hospital, British Hospital and other foreign hospitals for treatment. Although the cost is much more expensive, it is safe.

Fourth: Diet is essential.

1. Two weeks before departure, I suggest you put down your stomach and eat, especially those things you like to eat. You can't even consider going abroad. If the company has a dedicated chef overseas, life will be ok. Otherwise, you will regret not having a big meal before going abroad.

2. When preparing luggage, finally find out the weight of luggage allowed by your flight (hand luggage and checked luggage are calculated separately. Generally speaking, the weight requirement of hand luggage is not strict, as long as it can be put into the trunk of the cabin, but the checked baggage must be strictly in accordance with the regulations, but it cannot be cheaper for the airline. If several people go abroad together, they can add up, and if they don't exceed it, the total weight is ok.

3. Go to the supermarket and put your favorite snacks, pickles, oily milk rot, sauce and other seasoning things in a box. You will know the benefits of the past.

4. Tea (At present, I only see China's health tea in the supermarket. Green tea and scented tea are rare, so people who drink tea every day must pay attention. Remember to bring more bags before you come, and it's best to bring some cool scented tea to quench your thirst. )

5, cigarettes (I advise you to quit smoking, there is no need to burn all your overseas allowances! In fact, black people rarely smoke, and people who smoke are rarely seen on the street. I think this may be one of the reasons why their teeth are very white.

6, vegetable seeds (in Africa, where you usually live, there is a big yard. You can learn to order food and improve your life when you are free. Even if it is unnecessary, it is a good gift for overseas friends in China. )
