Here is the translation of the Vietnamese text into English, following your rules:
This is that bottle of medicine, everyone. The strength is broken. But it has to be at face level. That is my personal experience. Why should you buy a bottle of red medicine? Two. Welcome back to my channel. So, in today's video, I will share with you about a big issue, which is preparing luggage to bring to Australia. I will share from my own personal experience as well as from my friends and seniors who went before me. I will share with you in detail and clearly, describe and guide you specifically in this video. I hope that after watching this video, you will have a solid foundation of knowledge to prepare your luggage fully for Australia, avoiding unfortunate incidents. Okay, let's start now. On my hand is a list of 47 things that I have listed and I feel that you should bring to Australia. Now, for the simple items, I will mention them specifically. For the more abstract items, I will insert an image next to them for you to easily visualize. Okay, now I will call it the important items. I will go in order from 1 to 47. You guys watch. Okay, first is the power adapter. Regarding the power adapter issue, I have told you before. The power adapters in Vietnam are different. The plug pins are very different. In Vietnam, we have the round pins, and the flat pins. It's very difficult to find the right ones. I have 10 videos about introducing the power adapter and the Xiaomi power adapter. You can find those videos to watch about the Xiaomi power adapter that I bought in Vietnam and have been using until now, and it's very okay. Besides the power adapter, you can buy a very small plug like this. Here, this is a converter plug, guys. This small one. It's very convenient. For the Xiaomi power adapter I mentioned earlier, you should buy a plug like this. This plug, it has a flat pin like this, like a V shape on both sides. Inside, it has the Vietnamese socket. You can plug in any Vietnamese device, and it will be okay. So, try to find a plug like this. Having one like this is great to bring anywhere. As for the Xiaomi power adapter, I only use it in the room. For example, when you travel or go somewhere, and your laptop has a Vietnamese plug, you must bring this. Bringing the whole Xiaomi power adapter is too big and inconvenient.
Next is the power bank. It's very important for you. On the train, there is no charger for you to plug in a USB to charge. In Vietnam, there are some, but on long journeys, for hours, there are none. So you should bring a power bank. Now, what capacity of power bank is good? In my personal opinion, you should buy one with 10,000 mAh to 15,000 mAh. As for 5,000 mAh, it doesn't charge much. I hope you can find a 5,000 or 10,000 mAh power bank, which would be reasonable. Before going to Australia, you should fully charge your power bank. You should keep the power bank in your carry-on luggage. It's very important. Keep it in your carry-on luggage. I repeat, keep it in your carry-on luggage. Do not put it in checked luggage, because you cannot take it out. Keep it in your carry-on. I even put my power bank in my jacket pocket. When I went through customs, I took out my power bank and put it in my pocket. I forgot to put it in my checked luggage. So it was very lucky. It's always with me. When my phone is low, I can charge it immediately. That's my experience.
Next is your Citizen ID card or ID card. This document is very important. You can bring it to Australia to do things or for verification with Australia. For example, if you lose your passport, you need to do some paperwork related to Vietnam. If you have this document, you can go to the Vietnamese Embassy in Australia to handle your paperwork. You must have the original or a notarized copy of your ID card or Citizen ID card. You should also get a few notarized copies to bring with you. I brought two notarized copies of my ID card. I always keep them with me for emergencies. It doesn't cost much, but it's very useful. You can leave a notarized copy at home with your family for essential cases.
Third is a pair of flip-flops. A pair of flip-flops with toe straps, guys. Try to bring flip-flops because in Australia, when you go to work, you are mostly required to wear closed-toe shoes. Wearing them all day can be tiring. So, at home, you can wear flip-flops. You can wear any kind of flip-flops, but I recommend having a pair of flip-flops with toe straps or any kind of flip-flops. You must have a pair of flip-flops.
Next is number five: two pairs of bamboo chopsticks and two pairs of spoons. You might ask why you need to bring chopsticks and spoons. When you arrive in Australia, if you don't know anyone, you might have to buy chopsticks and spoons. Buying them in Australia can be expensive, much more expensive than in Vietnam. So why not bring them from Vietnam? It's not expensive and saves you time from going to the supermarket to buy chopsticks and spoons. Why two pairs? In case one day you bring your chopsticks and spoons out to eat, and then you lose them. That's why you should bring two pairs. You can understand. It's just a joke, but number five is two pairs of chopsticks and two spoons.
Number six is a lunchbox. Each region has a different concept. In my area, we call it a lunchbox. You might call it something else. But you should buy the type that is made of glass, or tempered glass. Avoid bringing stainless steel or iron containers. Because in Australia, if you bring lunch to work, companies will have microwaves. You cannot put metal into a microwave. So, prioritize glass containers with plastic lids. Be mindful of this. Avoid stainless steel or iron.
And number seven, which is no less important, is a thermos. What is this thermos for? You can bring it in your carry-on luggage from Vietnam to Australia. You can use it at the airport to get water. During your journey between cities, you can have a thermos. In summer, it keeps drinks cold, and in winter, it keeps them warm. I recommend bringing a 500ml thermos. Or around 750ml is good. Anything over 1 liter is a bit too big.
Number eight is a baseball cap. Why a baseball cap? Firstly, you can wear it when you go out in the summer. Secondly, when you work, some places will require you to wear a hat. Some environments require you to wear a baseball cap. You can wear it for going out or for work. Half of it is a yellow hard hat. Why a yellow hard hat? For those of you who work in construction, you will have a yellow hard hat to protect you from the sun, prevent sunburn, and avoid heatstroke. That's number eight.
Now, number nine is Salonpas patches or cream. The reason for bringing Salonpas is that you know that when you come to Australia, the working hours will be longer. You will work very hard. For example, in Vietnam, you might work 8 hours a day. Here, you might work 10 or 11 hours a day, depending on your job. You will work very productively, not like in Vietnam. So, you should bring Salonpas. I bring both types: patches and cream. The cream is for applying to sore muscles, and the patches are for sticking on your neck, shoulders, or back. You can bring as much as your checked luggage allows. Prioritize bringing at least one bottle of cream and one box of Salonpas patches.
Number ten is lip balm, like Vaseline, or any other brand. It's for dry lips. Because currently, like in Australia, it's transitioning to winter. It's very dry. Your lips can get very dry and even bleed. So, you should buy something to apply to your lips. For example, when you first arrive in Australia, you might not need it. But in the future, in autumn or winter, you will need it. So, buy something to apply to your lips. When you buy anything, check the expiration date.
Now, let's move on to number eleven. Number eleven is one to two tubes of toothpaste. Why bring toothpaste? Because toothpaste in Australia is expensive. I would say it's about 5 times more expensive than in Vietnam. Of course, it will be good. But in the beginning, when you don't have income yet, prioritize using Vietnamese products to save money. If you can, bring two tubes. Otherwise, one tube is enough for more than half a year. That's number eleven.
Now, I will move on to number twelve. Number twelve is a comb. It's a personal item. I won't talk much about it. Next is a laptop. Whether you need this or not depends on you. If you plan to study in Australia and decide to stay and study English, you should bring a laptop. If you are going there just to work and earn money, you don't need to bring it. Or if you have a laptop with a weak configuration, then don't bring it. Because when you get there and work for a few months, your income will be good, and the prices will be reasonable compared to your income. So, you can rest assured about the laptop. That's whether to bring a laptop or not.
Now, let's move on to number fourteen. This is a pen and a notebook. Why do I need to bring these two? Firstly, you might need to take notes during the day or for any other notes. You need a pen and notebook. You should bring them. In some cases, you will need a pen and notebook. Buying them in Australia will take time. So, bring a pen and notebook.
Now, let's move on to number fifteen. This is a mirror. Girls will understand its use. Boys should also have a mirror. Generally, it's a small item, not essential, but it's good to have a small mirror.
Now, let's move on to number sixteen. For those like me, you should bring a pair of glasses. Bring them with you. My current glasses are my prescription glasses. I brought them from Vietnam. I brought them to Australia. I also brought a pair of glasses, but the prescription was different, and it made my eyes hurt a lot. So, I had to go and get a new pair of glasses made in Australia. That's why I'm wearing them now. That's for those who have vision problems. If you have vision problems, bring an extra pair of glasses. Also, bring sunglasses for work or going out.
Now, let's talk about number seventeen. Number eighteen is a raincoat. If you have one, it's good. Why a raincoat? For those who work in farms or in places like farms, or places related to animals, you should bring a raincoat. At least, if it rains, you can protect yourself from getting wet.
Now, let's move on to number nineteen. Number nineteen is ten pairs of socks. Why ten pairs? Because socks are light and not bulky. When you go to work, socks wear out quickly. So, you should buy socks. To save money, when you first arrive in Australia, you can use your Vietnamese socks. After a few months, when you have income, you can buy socks here. Of course, socks here are more expensive.
Number twenty is a bottle of red medicine. I call it red medicine. Actually, it's a bottle. I will insert a picture here for you to see. I call it red medicine. Why do I recommend this red medicine? Because this medicine is very effective for you. For example, if you get a cut or a scratch while working, applying this red medicine to the wound will help it heal. It's very effective. So, this red medicine is very effective for you. But it's expensive. That's my personal experience. Why should you buy a bottle of red medicine? Red medicine.
Now, let's move on to number twenty-one: shampoo and conditioner. Pay attention, guys. Many people bring large bottles of shampoo and conditioner. But here, when you bring them, they might leak and damage other items in your luggage. So, buy them in small packets. When I went to the US, and to Australia, I always brought them in packets. Small packets are also very convenient. You can also bring conditioner or fabric softener.
Now, let's move on to number twenty-two: a pair of work shoes. Remember, work shoes here are very important. Try to buy a good pair of work shoes in Vietnam. Firstly, they should be comfortable to wear all day. If you stand for a long time, they shouldn't hurt your feet. Pay attention to this. For those who work in construction, you need long boots. They should be comfortable to wear all day. If you stand for a long time, they shouldn't hurt your feet. They should have cushioning. If you work in construction, you need sturdy boots so that if you step on something sharp, you won't get hurt.
Now, let's move on to number twenty-three: a life jacket. You see, no matter which state you go to in Australia, you should bring a life jacket. This life jacket depends on your circumstances. If you are going in winter, you can wear it when you go to the airport. It will save space in your luggage. If it's a life jacket, you can wear it when you go out.
Now, number twenty-four: a wristwatch. A normal wristwatch, guys. Not a smartwatch or anything. So that when you go to work, you can check the time. Watches here are cheap, like $5 or $7 for a watch. How much is that in Vietnamese dong? You can calculate it yourself. But in Vietnam, you can find a watch. A Casio or G-Shock is fine, as long as it tells the time. Okay, guys.
Now, let's move on to number twenty-five: bring US dollars or Australian dollars with you to Australia. How much to bring depends on your needs. I will make a separate video about exchanging US dollars or Australian dollars because it's a sensitive topic. I will make a separate video for that.
Number twenty-six is a music speaker, if you have one. This is optional. Some people are passionate about music like me. I bought a JBL speaker. I'm using it now, and it's been great for 5 years. If you like listening to music, you can consider this type of speaker. It's small and portable. When you get home from work, you can listen to music. It's great. You can listen to music while working.
Now, let's move on to number twenty-seven: cotton balls. This depends on your luggage allowance. You can bring one or two bags, depending on the weight.
Now, number twenty-eight: grooming tools. For example, nail clippers, tweezers. Tweezers are useful if something gets stuck in your skin. You can use tweezers to remove it. For example, if you get a thorn stuck in your skin.
Next is number twenty-nine: sewing kit. You can bring a spool of white thread, a spool of black thread, and two needles. Why? Because if your clothes get torn, even a small hole can be in a very sensitive place. You can't easily find cheap tailoring services here like in Vietnam. So, you should bring a spool of black thread, a spool of white thread, two needles, a small pair of scissors.
Now, number thirty-two: two pairs of shoes. One pair for work and one pair for going out. For going out, you can buy any brand. For work, you should buy comfortable shoes. Because when you wear them for work, the temperature can be hot, and they can get damaged. So, for work, buy ordinary shoes. After a while in Australia, when you have income, you can buy shoes for going out. You can buy Nike or Adidas. I bought Nike shoes from Vietnam. I'm very happy with them. The value for money is great.
Now, let's move on to number thirty-one: warm gloves for winter. For winter, you should bring warm gloves. Especially when you go out. If you work outdoors, you might use gloves. But I think it's less common. You can bring a pair of warm gloves for going out.
Now, number thirty-two: a chest bag or a small bag to wear around your neck. You can put your money and important documents in it. If you are in a crowded place, it's safer. This is for those who work outdoors. You can bring it to avoid losing your valuables.
Now, let's move on to number thirty-three: wireless earphones. If you have the budget, buy AirPods or Samsung Galaxy Buds. Wireless earphones are more convenient. You can wear them while working, listening to music, or talking on the phone. Wired earphones can be a bit cumbersome.
Now, number thirty-four: a small travel pillow. A small pillow for your neck. When you travel by train or bus, you can use this. When you arrive in Australia, it's the same as traveling within the country. You can use it. I have one. I will insert a picture here. You should choose something like this.
Number thirty-five: a mini hair dryer. This is for women and girls. You should have a mini hair dryer. Because in Australia, in winter, if you don't use a hair dryer after showering, your hair will stay wet. This mini hair dryer is small and portable. I see that they are also sold here, but they are expensive.
Now, let's move on to number thirty-six: Vietnamese bamboo toothpicks. Bamboo toothpicks have many uses. You can use them for many things. When you come to Australia, you can bring a small box. You will find many uses for them.
Number thirty-seven: a phone stand or a small iPad stand. For example, if you bring your tablet, you can use this stand to watch videos comfortably. Otherwise, you have to find something to prop it up. A small stand like this is sold cheaply in Vietnam for tens of thousands of dong. You should bring it. Buying one here is difficult and expensive.
The next item is number thirty-eight: cold medicine. Now, let's move on to cold medicine. You should buy about two doses of cold medicine. Because this medicine is very expensive. To save money, I recommend buying about two doses. That is, if it costs a lot, buy two doses. For example, in the first month, if the weather changes and you feel tired or catch a cold, two doses are enough. Don't bring too much. Bringing too much might cause problems at customs. I'm talking about personal medicine.
Now, let's move on to number thirty-nine: a bottle of medicated oil. You can bring a bottle of medicated oil. I only have one bottle of medicated oil. You can bring it with you. If you have a headache, or if it's cold, you can rub it on your temples, your forehead, or your chest. It's very effective.
Now, number forty: a tube of fusidic acid. I will also insert an illustration here. The use of this tube is as follows: if you get a cut or a scratch, or if you have sensitive skin, you can apply this medicine directly. It helps to prevent infection and heal the skin. I am also using this type. I hope you will buy it to bring to Australia.
Now, let's move on to number forty-one: a bath towel and a face towel. A bath towel is larger than a face towel. I'm mentioning this so that you know your options.
Now, let's move on to number forty-two: a pair of work sleeves. In Vietnam, we call them sleeves. People who work outdoors or in construction often wear them. You can bring them with you. If you can afford it, buy a pair. I bought mine in Vietnam. You can buy them in Vietnam. Buy a pair of sleeves so that when you work outdoors or in hot weather, you can wear them to protect yourself from the sun. That's number forty-two.
Now, number forty-three: stomach medicine. In this video, I uploaded it yesterday. Yesterday, I had food poisoning. I had severe stomach pain and had to go buy medicine. Stomach medicine is very important. You should buy some to bring with you. As I said, bring about two or three doses. Don't bring too much. If you bring too much, it might be confiscated at customs. I'm talking about personal medicine.
Now, let's move on to number forty-four: a convenient raincoat. It's a raincoat set.
It seems I've already mentioned this. Now, let's see. Number forty-four. Okay, here it is. Luggage. You should buy luggage with four wheels. Don't buy luggage with two wheels, like I did. Luggage with four wheels is much easier to move around the airport or when traveling between places. Remember, you don't need to buy expensive luggage. Just buy one with four wheels. As for the price, it depends on your budget. After a while in Australia, when you have income, you can buy things here. The prices are reasonable.
Regarding clothes, why didn't I mention them? Because clothes are very cheap in Australia, for both men and women. You should only buy certain types of clothing. For example, skirts or pants. In Australia, I find that the quality is good and the designs are also nice. As for shirts, they are very thin here. So, if you come to Australia, you should buy pants.
Okay, that's it for now. I have listed everything on my phone. Now, let's talk about this. A jacket. You know, there's a type of jacket with a fluorescent green strip. You should find that jacket. When you come here and work outdoors or in packing facilities, the government requires you to wear that jacket to enter the workplace.
So, that's it. For now, my video ends here. If you have any questions, please leave a comment in this video. I will prioritize answering them in this video. Thank you.
