In American supermarkets and convenience stores, it is rare to see the kind of suction cup hooks that can be found everywhere in Chinese supermarkets. If you cook for yourself, you will realize how convenient it is to have such a row of hooks in the kitchen to hang kitchenware chopping boards and paring knives. They're also great for hanging mops and rags in the bathroom. Just buy a dozen and stuff them in your suitcase, they will last you for a year or two.

4. Multi-functional tool combinations
Just arrived in the United States to buy furniture, a lot of Ikea Walmart furniture you need to assemble their own and do not provide tools, this time this thing is used. Save the furniture to go out to the street to find a hardware supermarket to buy a knife.

Also, save money ...... the American side of the pen is hardly needed to complete what a lot of text tasks, five refills can be used for a long time.
6. Magnetic door curtains
You can buy two sets, transparent and opaque. Two purposes:
One is to install a set for the kitchen door to prevent grease and smoke. U.S. kitchens generally do not have a door and there is no hood, frying a month you know the acidity of the vegetables ... I believe that many students have seen this kind of magnetic door curtains in the domestic restaurant, in the blocking of fumes to isolate the smell of the effect is remarkable.
The second is to live in the living room students can buy a set as a door. If the shape of your door frame is too hunting to install this kind of door curtain, you can consider telescopic rod door curtain. This doesn't carry very well, though, so it's better to go to Walmart Amazon when you get here.

If you are renting a new apartment, there is a possibility that the apartment will be without power on the first day you arrive in the US. Because the power supply is not under the control of the property owner, you need to go to the power company to open an account in order to get it. You may spend the first day or even the first week in the dark every night. That's why a mobile power supply and a USB light are very necessary things.
