Australia Thread 2

[snowhannah]

Bought my ticket early last year for  Sept trip. P4880 lang ang one way  Clark-Sydney via  Kuala Lumpur  tapos  I added P1000 lang for 20 kg luggage. I took Jetstar pauwi.

Seems that AirAsia no longer offer flight from Clark to Sydney.

Hi, filed my business visa last wednesday and today i received the notice na. I have apprehensions pa nga coz my client from brisbane bought the tickets prior to lodging the application. Told them wag na muna since i've read na better kung wala pa ticket but they said minimal lang naman ang charge for rebooking/refund.

Anyways, will be going to Brisbane for about 1-2 weeks for a business trip. Anong weather dun pag march? And what do they usually wear as office clothes? I don't want to be over/under dressed naman. My clients will be shouldering the meals together with the accommodation but i wonder how much ang range ng food sa area? Para if maglilibot ako, i know how much money to bring. Lastly, where can i buy cheap pasalubongs?

^ sis, where can i buy the jerky? I plan to buy some for my adventurous cousin.

Thanks!

^wow ang bilis naman ng processing. congrats sis!

[saskia]

^ oo nga. Expected ko pa naman a month ang processing. Eh my ticket is for mar 1 na nga dapat. My client moved the date na lang ng last week ng march kase nga di sure kung kelan dadating yung visa.

[freeswan]

^ sis saskia, Brisbane is a bit warm. But since Fall is starting na, it's been raining these days. Sa kanila kasi pag fall usually raining tapos transition na to Winter ng June. Average meal is $10. Mcdonalds burger meals is about $8 pero restaurants (not high end) will have meals from $10-15. Drinks are expensive though. $1.50-$4. The water is expensive about $3.50 so bring water bottle. That's what I do everyday. The jerky I found them at Woolies or Woolworths. Meron din sa mga airports.

How long ba usually ang visa processing dito sa Pinas? Our trip will be on Holy Week na, we just completed our requirements yesterday, our travel agent will submit our applications. Gusto na sana namin mag book ng hotels and domestic flights, baka kasi mahal na pag mas malapit na yung trip.
