anyway, about the payong, bihira lang ako nakakita ng nagpapayong dito. actually ang mga nakita ko is mga asian. mostly chinese or taiwanese. ngayon lang to na summer ha kasi scorching heat talaga d kagaya sa atin na humid. dito nakakaluto ang init ng araw. like today, 43 degrees dito sa sydney. naka 3 rounds ako ng laundry kasi after 30 minutes tuyo na yung sinampay ko at partida bed sheets and towels yun ha.

I hope someone could answer,ano ang ok na prepaid data plan sa au ngagon?base sa research ko pinaka tipid ang amaysim (under optus) kaso baka di na updated ang naresearch ko. Another question, saan mas mura bumili ng meat/seafood, sa woolwoths or sa mga asian market?i will be staying in au for a few weeks so tipid-tipid para makagala during weekends.

freeswan · « **Reply #7 on:** February 18, 2013, 11:39:09 pm »

^ virgin mobile under Optus din. Number 1 siya sa prepaid services.

Haven't tried Asian markets pero usually Coles and Woolies halos same Lang ng prices. Tsaka weekly
Sila may specials so the prices vary.

Kakadating ko lang kanina.i ended up buying yung $2 per day unli internet/call/text ni optus.wala kasing virgin mobile sa airport.pero ok na din to para di ako nasstress sa pagbabantay ng data consumption.mahal lahat dito kaya luto-luto muna ako.next weekend na gala.nahirapan ako maghanap ng adaptor.di kasya yung binibigay sa kin sa coles (buti dala ko charger para isukat). Sa 1 convenient store ako nakabili. :-)

hi we are planning to visit australia next year, nandun lola ni hubby and mom ko.. tourist visa yung aapply namin, I have a few questions lang..

1. our intention is to travel lang talaga and to visit my mom and lola's hubby, natatakot kasi ako sa visa lodge baka madeny, what are the chances na madeny kami given na nakapagtravel na din kami sa ibang bansa and we have our COE and bank statement? may nabasa kasi ako dito sa past thread na nadeny siya maski na may bank statement na and COE

2. if ever magrant yung visa, kailangan ba umalis na agad agad? or gano katagal expiry nun bago ka umalis? mga April - May next year pa naman plan so tinitignan ko kailan kaya kami dapat mag lodge ng visa

3. Separate visa application ba kami ni hubby?

Ayun lang.. thank you so much!
