And red and yellow socks à petits pois
The problem when over thirty is that we are not sure that our young colleagues will understand cultural references. For 1982 , it starts to date ...
What is he?
practical advice to Professor immigrant to Louisiana and, specifically, and let that take? Render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar is Sandrine and Tantely (them again?) Who, long before we started the debate.
First, that leave?
If you love books, do not bring it! Read in English and let you send French books for Christmas. If you really miss Balzac and Proust, he is a French bookstore in New Orleans (just behind the cathedral) and you can still order French books on Amazon.ca
Do not bring either your dictionary's: Wordreference . com translated as well. And please, do not buy The First Day of School ! It's old, ugly and uninteresting: the placement of Baton Rouge will be a much greater interest to seize the functioning of students, parents and schools, Louisiana.
Especially do not take your prep! You do not know your level of future students. Documents in electronic format should suffice. Yaa there are also many resources managed by the consulate of New Orleans on this page.
Then do not bring your DVDs! They are zone 2 and you can not watch them on American readers, unless you bring your laptop.
So bring your laptop! With the charger, you will just change the cord. For all the cables and other gadgets to connect, the store is RadioShack (y 'everywhere).
For the phone, if you have in iPhone, take it! Otherwise, throw it out! (I think that the phones are tri-band around here). Anyway, everyone buys a phone at Walgreens (a pharmacy that also sells soft drinks and fags, y 'everywhere) with a prepaid card ...
Finally, if you have a TV, an iron, a VHS player (?) Or a printer, take them! It operates at 220V and here it's 110. Some reckless buy transformers, but frankly it's not worth the shot.
And what makes it so? Ben
the laptop, of course! If you do not, s a lot to Office Depot and Best Buy.
If you have an insurance certificate of your vehicle stating that you're a good driver who has not had an accident a long time, bring it!
Also take your nice clothes. Here is the desert of couture: jean-Tshirt or suit and tie (suit for ladies). We were nevertheless certified that there was an H & M in Baton Rouge ... Try to find
antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs (not aspirin or paracetamol). That you will wait a bit before going to spend $ 250 to the doctor ... For other common drugs, they find in any supermarket or Walgreens (or CVS or Rite Aid, which also sells alcohol ...)
Do not forget the inside jacket with a collar for A / C Hall Baton Rouge and a swimsuit for the pool that hotel. Bring sunglasses. You can find sunscreen and tap dancing in the supermarket here:
And socks red and yellow peas!
Meanwhile, oil empties into the Gulf ...
