sagot: iba ang standard ng outlet o saksakan dito hindi mo magagamit yan. bili ka na lang pagdating mo $20 pinaka mura.
2. Utensils - one spoon and fork
sagot: puede
3. Lock & lock na baunan
sagot; puede din. pero maganda bumili ka na lang dito ng baonan. pyrex ang brand. made in glass.. puede pang Microwave.. safe pa.
4. Lalagyan ng tubig - kailangan po bang bumili ng tubig? or ok na yung sa faucet.
sagot: di mo na kailangan magdala yan.. Pero tanungin mo muna ang mayari ng bahay or kung saan ang accomodation kung puede inumin ang tap water. Most naman ng tap water dito puedeng inumin. pero mabuti na yung mag tanung para safe ka. May mabibili dito bottled water.
