Since the baggage allowance is rather limited, I’d like to advise you not to do much shopping before you go, but leave it till you get to the United States. (11) Many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at " sales" and at "discount stores" or "thrift shops", which you may also find interesting. I believe you need to buy some clothes. (12) There is also a rule of thumb with regard to dresses in the States: Change your clothes every day. For example, in an American college, neither professors nor students are often seen in the same costumes for two days on end. So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you have here—in China. While you are shopping in the States, you will discover that prices vary considerably from store to store and from time to time. The purchase of used, second-hand clothing, furniture or other household articles may be an excellent way of economizing. Most second-hand clothes are of rather good quality.
