Arriving in a strange country far from home can be a disorienting experience. You need to find your way from the airport to your new home and learn how to get to campus. There are any number of items to buy, a cell phone (or sim card) to acquire and a bank account to be opened. You need to buy textbooks, make sure you have health insurance, and generally just settle in and be ready for the start of classes. Hence we:
