to: 蠢蠢31415926, 在没有到英国之前,依靠资料来做判断是常情。但是,注意不要被误导。尤其是得奖参赛之类的东东。国外的奖啊,展啊什么的,数都数不清。 另外, 1到英国后,买电视要买带有teltext功能的,贵不了多少,很方便,一是有字幕,二是查日常的生活information时可以当半个internet用。每天看看上面的新闻简报会很有收获。 2 延长学生签证时,尽量不要去当地的移民局。因为可以在入关时办理,建议你去法国或荷兰玩儿一趟回来入关时续签。这样手续简单很多,即时可得。(注意,waterloo的海关最友好) 3 坐火车时,一定要事先研究一下价格。好多没有明写,但一定尽量不要在高峰时间乘车,价格高的吓你一跳。 4 有效地利用图书馆,RIBA British Architectural Library是非常棒的。相关的information 如下: Address RIBA British Architectural Library, Royal Institute of British Architects, 66 Portland Place, London W1B 1AD, UK
