Hello mga sis...para sa first time pupunta sa Oz na pregnant pa, makayanan kaya un winter dun? Worried kasi ako sa winter sa kanila. 

nah, winter here is like a very cold day in Baguio. a jacket would suffice. of course the older the person, the more sensitive he/she is to the cold.

not unless you plan to go the snowy parts of australia, you will not need heavy clothing.

pag foods talaga and via airport, expect the worse. pag via ship, iba ang process, pero matagal bago i release. they have to make sure na hind dangerous sa ecosytem ng aus. mas strict lang talaga pag via airports -- tapon agad basta hindi kursunada

sis *yvainne*, depende sa state. last month nasa canberra ako, autumn lang pero umaabot sya ng 5 degrees. so mas malamig pag winter. pero sa sydney & melbourne mas tolerable. kaya mas gusto ko don, mukhang mas masaya ;)

Nakita ko yan on my flight to BNE. Stop over sa darwin and yung isang passenger may dalang 5 big jars of parang ube and hindi sya pinayagan maipasok. They throw it away.

Dried mangoes, chocnut, polvoron, macapuno candy, native coasters, baby clothes pa lang naman naiisip kong padala. Sana ok. 😊

^actually di masyado. kasi padadalhan ko sana sya ng madami, sabi ni hubby hindi daw sila mahilig don. ang dadalhan nya lang yong pinay friend nya na nanghihingi. may nakita din kasi akong binibenta sa paddy's market (sydney) pero per kilo :)

again, DEPENDE, sa sumita sa iyo sa airport. so don't be 100 percent hopeful. there's always that small chance.

masarap talaga dried mango natin. when i lived in Beijing, i saw them being sold in shops and convenience stores. marami rami na din akong nakitang chinese na bumili mismo sa harap ko ng dried mango. ingat lang at hindi lahat ng dried mango sa asian stores ay gawa sa Pinas.

*yvaine*

Bunbury, WA is a nice place. it is less of a city than Perth metro. so a little bit colder but should not require much layering. masasanay ka din later and a simple jacket would suffice. I've tried sleeping in the wild at Northcliffe, WA (further down south) and a jacket was all i needed for the night and our early morning activities.

think of a cold morning in Baguio. more or less ganun lang. winter is just a word. don't think Canada. even ski resorts in the east resort to snow machines to maintain their snow.

^naku ganun pala yun.. sabi wedding pics, videos, receipts at bank account nyo dalawa. after nyo ba ikasal sis, bumalik na sya dun? Tapos hihintayin nyo na lang yun visa mo? Kinasal kami november 2013. 5 months sya dito then next month balik sya. Pero 1 year straight sya dito bago kami kinasal.

welcome. i have lived in places na -15 to -27 Celsius na wala pang wind chill. basta negative 5 degrees and up can be easily handled by the right clothing.

beyong negative 10 degrees. ibang usapan na iyon.

yes sis after ng kasal balik kagad sya AU dahil sa work. di pa ako nagla-lodge ng spouse visa kasi ang dami pang aasikasuhin. sa passport pa lang, need pang um-attend ng CFO seminar. hirap kasi kumuha ng slot non dahil 15 lang per session :-\ wait ko pa may 15 para makapag-online appointment :)

grabe naman. noong ako'y nag CFO noon, ang dami namin. ilang 15 person group ang magagawa mo LOL nasa likod pa nga ako dahil wala nang maupuan sa harap.

ewan ko lang, pera pera din yan imho. kasi yung info naman doon hindi naman esoteric, more on common sense and general knowledge.

^thank you sis. Yun lang kasibun fear kod dun. Mahina katawan ko sa lamig.  :(

wala pa diyan yung fact na pag nasanay ka na sa klema. ganyan din nanay ko. kesa matanda na raw siya or mahina sa lamig. diyos ko, nung napunta na dito, kung makasalita eh kala mo na nanirahan sa Canada.
