It is that time of the year again, when numerous students would fly to Adelaide to either commence or continue their studies. If you have just spent a summer/winter holiday back home, welcome back! If on the other hand you have just landed in Adelaide for the first time, I’d like to extend to you the warmest welcome and offer you a few tips to help you enjoy the beginning of your stay in South Australia.
1. If you have been keeping track of the weather forecast, you might have noticed that there’s been some pretty hot days last weeks (33-38 Celsius) and a few more to come in the week ahead. While you might be busy attending induction or looking for accommodation, remember to drink a lot of water and keep yourself hydrated.
2. Sunscreen (a.k.a sun cream, sun block) is absolutely essential in sunny days. Although it sometimes can be a hassle trying to paste yourself with sunscreen before hurrying out of the front door, please do not underestimate the necessity of protecting your skin from the UV ray of the sun. Spf +30 (referring to the strength of the protection) is recommended and a variety of brands are sold in all pharmacies and supermarkets.
3. It can be a daunting experience to be navigating around a whole new city. You might have to rely on buses, trams, and trains. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to check out the website of www.adelaidemetro.com.au, where you can find the public transport route to get to your destination.
That’s all for now, hope you stay chilled in the warm weather!
