What to bring
Hi there! Today, I'll tell you what I prepared before I came here.
今日は留学の際の荷物について紹介します！
First of all, you can buy anything in Vancouver, but most of Japanese things are pricey.
So you don't need to worry about it.
1. Towels
I brought a lot of towels. This is because I heard we can't get small towels in Vancouver.
Also, if you choose homestay, you may not do landory everyday.
最初はタオルは１週間分くらいあった方がいいですよ！
2. Cosmetics
I think it's better to prepare. If you worry about skin troubles, you must!
Especially, 乳液！I can't find it so far. I mean there are many kinds of moisture lotion, but they are not similar to Japanese ones.
Also, パック is expensive. You need it, you should buy in Japan!
乳液の役割を果たしてくれるものがないですね。無印良品もありますし、日本の化粧品も買えますが、正直高い。。。敏感肌の方は必要だと思います。
これでも安いものです。1枚5ドル。。。
3. eye care
Glasses, contact lenses, eye drops, and lenses cleaner. You can buy them in Japan. They're sold at quite high prices.
If you need glasses and contact lenses, you should prepare in Japan. In Canada, most insurance doesn't cover it. You have to pay everything. Also, you need to take visual acuity test whenever you have new glasses and lenses.
shoppers という薬局のサイトです。高すぎる。買えません。目薬＝病気のときに使う、というイメージが強いです。そのため、日本みたいにコンタクトレンズ＝目薬という概念がないようです。
雑ですがこれくらいでしょうか？あとはこちらで買いそろえることができます。
See you there! Thank you
