  • 相约北美 / 移民留学 / 因我是南方人, 所以请有经验的朋友告知：在加国使用普通的近视眼镜（带边框）有麻烦吗（如在寒冷季节从室外进入室内时）？是否需要从国内带隐型眼镜去？另，若带拖鞋的话，是棉制的好呢还是塑料的好？ -vicky(Vicky); 2000-11-30 (#16574@0)
    • 1. no trouble for normal glasses. 2. u need plastic slippers for summer and water sports, 'cotton' slippers for winter. -guest:; 2000-11-30 (#16580@0)
      • It's very kind of you to help me. Your response was very useful for our stuff. I have a another knotty problem:我已知道男士需备棉质T 恤及衬衫各10件以上,因若在公司上班的话须每天一换,那么外套及外裤呢?加国职业女性工作时常穿职业装吗？ -vicky(Vicky); 2000-12-5 (#17217@0)
        • for coat and pants, -guest:; 2000-12-5 {492} (#17225@0)
          you can try to wear one set on monday and wednesday, one set on tuesday and thursday, and another set on Friday. it's not hard to make all these combinations if u have 2 to 3 coats and 2-3 pants. but in winter the same thick outfit should be ok.

          nowadays most people, except very very formal occasion, wear business casual suits(excluding jeans, sneakers, anything with holes, and sportswear) from monday to thursday, and probably jeans on friday(depending on your company's dress code).
        • and it's important to take shower every day and wash hair at least once two days. if u don't do it or don't change clothes every day, people will think you didn't go back home last night. -guest:; 2000-12-5 (#17227@0)
    • change cloth... -wjiang(wjiang); 2000-12-5 {546} (#17222@0)
      is very important. The rule of business casual is polo pants and shirt
      inside the building. You NEED to change pants and shirt EVERY DAY. A
      lot of we guys don't care, but from my experience, the money you invest
      in your appearance is at least or more important than the money you
      invest in your knowledge.

      By the way, your English name would seem better if you change it to
      Vic or Vick. Pay attention to the ending 'y' which implies candy or
      feminon. For example, the name James is better off to be Jim than Jimmy.
      Sorry for that.
      • hehe, it must be a lady. -guest:; 2000-12-5 (#17226@0)
    • Sorry, maybe you are a girl, then you are okay to be with the ending 'y' -wjiang(wjiang); 2000-12-5 (#17223@0)
      • Thanks all of you a lot! Yes, I'm a lady. Anyway, Wjiang is warmhearted .For a potential Canadian, I will have been preparing for necessary stuff of ours---My husband, my daughter and I. -vicky(Vicky); 2000-12-6 (#17320@0)
    • 快要离开了，忽然变得留恋起来，乡音、父母、朋友和这里的一切一切......为这次的远行， 物质、精神和语言方面都在做着准备，但感觉还差很多。到另一个完全不同的国度去生活？不知为何，总有一种不太真实的感觉，心里也有一丝忐忑不安。 -vicky(Vicky); 2000-12-6 (#17321@0)
      • 我想多数人都有这样的感觉吧. 离开生活了几十年的家乡和亲友, 就象离开自己的根一样. 到完全陌生的地方, 感到不真实是很正常的. 等我们适应了这儿的生活,熟悉了环境,结交了朋友,慢慢会感觉真实起来的. -zjoy(Joy); 2000-12-6 (#17411@0)
      • 呵呵,同感.人是感情动物,没有眷恋是不可能的,但也不会耽溺在过去里,人总是在进步.//hand.好自为之叭,共同努力! -aabb(爱吃水草的鱼); 2000-12-7 (#17506@0)
    • The reason I raised the ending "Y" issue is many HonKong men use xxxY as their name and let people all of a suddent think that HongKong is dominated by femaled man.. -wjiang(wjiang); 2000-12-6 (#17360@0)
      • haha, that's true, they'd like to be called sunny, tommy, jimmy...all sound like childhood name. but they ARE names for MALE. -guest:; 2000-12-6 (#17368@0)
        • some times, they invent names by adding an edning 'y' to any male name :-) -wjiang(wjiang); 2000-12-6 (#17380@0)
    • Rolia.com is really a very useful web site for a potential Canadian, and everybody here is kind and sympathetic. -vicky(Vicky); 2000-12-13 (#18108@0)
      • you are welcome. and it's enjoyable to answer your questions since you always make it very clear. -guest:; 2000-12-13 (#18130@0)
        • Thank you very much. You are so kind. -vicky(Vicky); 2000-12-14 (#18195@0)
    • I met a problem when I went shopping today. The problem is: 加国的厨房用电炉还是电磁炉? 烧开水的方式? 需在国内买水壶和微波炉用的塑料饭盒带去吗? 加国的厨房用具基本价格如何? -vicky(Vicky); 2000-12-13 (#18109@0)
      • 1. electric stove or gas 2. same as in China 3. not really. I even brought back micrawave-usable containers. Go get such stuff at Canadian Tire, Zellers, or Walmart. -guest:; 2000-12-13 (#18117@0)
        • Your response helped me a lot. You mean that it may be an electric stove which would be used in Canada, not an electromagnetic stove, right? 我看到一种炒锅挺好,但售货员说它不适宜用在电磁炉,因其底为铁制的, 想必用在电炉应没问题吧? -vicky(Vicky); 2000-12-14 (#18196@0)
          • no problem at all. so far I haven't heard that anybody uses such electric-magnetic stove at home. -guest:; 2000-12-14 (#18207@0)
          • but be aware that your 炒锅 has to be either plain bottom or round bottom with something to hold it on the stove. otherwise you have to hold it all the time when you cook. -guest:; 2000-12-14 (#18208@0)
            • Oh, I see. 多谢了! -vicky(Vicky); 2000-12-14 (#18248@0)
    • you are so thoughtful, consider so many things -4myself(seeker); 2000-12-13 (#18144@0)
      • I think I should be a competent housewife. -vicky(Vicky); 2000-12-14 (#18197@0)
        • maybe -4myself(seeker); 2000-12-14 (#18255@0)
