Australia Thread 3

[_Jasmin_]

Travel tax lang din binayaran namin and walang pila that time. Yung check-in lang talaga. Sa middle nag b break ang lines for those na nag web check-in and kapag wala ng pila, magtatanong sila kung sino ng web check in and papaunahin na nila so medyo mabilis pa rin than the rest. Medyo mahal tix namin coz we bought it last March pa.

thank you sis on the way na kami sa airport para maaga ako makapila sa travel tax counter sana wala n talaga problema mamaya sa airport.

Nagulat talaga ako kanina kasi wala na ako balak magbukas pa ng email. naisipan ko since wala ako ginagawa ayun nga visa grant 1year multiple entry sa amin dalawa ng husband ko sulit na rin ang online lodge ko.

Favor ulit paano pala pa roaming sa smart prepaid?

[gj1206]

prettymina congratulations sis! to the last minute talaga ha, but at least tuloy na tuloy! hope you're enjoying your time in australia!

[prettymina]

Thank you so much mga sis. yes definitely babalik kapag may nakuha murang tiket since walang bayad kami sa accomodation i have 4 aunts kasi dito kaya palipat lipat lang ang mahal lang is mamasyal sa mga may entrance fee haha.

lahat ng ugg boots dito sale na kasi mag end na winter

[berrycherry]

Kame din nagustuhan namin ang australia.. Nirerecommed ko nga sa friend ko na mahilig magtravel. Sabi ko sulit pumasyal lalo na sa sydney... Though medyo mahal lang talaga ang kumain sa labas.

Oo nga sis sale ang uggs, nakabili nga ako dun sa sydney..

[prettymina]

^yes sis 60% yung nakita ko uggs pero hiningi ko na lang sa mga tita ko para tipid haha. mainit talaga sa loob bagay na bagay sa winter.

anyway. mga sis ask lang ako saan may mura makakabili chocolates like violet crumble and jackets kasi nakikita ko lang dito woolworths at coles. medyo mahal sa mga yan eh. sunday na uwi namin.

thanks

[marshie]

^around how much is the sale price of ugg there? And when is the end of winter. I am planning to visit sydney by last week of august if I'll be granted a visa

[ataypool]

^^Aldi, Big W, K Mart, Target. Minsan The Reject Shop may tinda din chocolates. Ask your aunties too if member sila ng Costco or if they know someone.

^Spring starts on September.

[prettymina]

hi sis thank you sobrang mura nga sa aldi and sa parklea. pero grabe ang violet crumbke $2 each namulubi ako puro yun ang request.

sis ask ko lang. naggrocery ako and nagshoping ng bag. may mga receipts ako. may tax refund ba ako makukuha sa airport ng australia? paano and ano ano kailangan ko ipakita.

hi sis thank you sobrang mura nga sa aldi and sa parklea. pero grabe ang violet crumbke $2 each namulubi ako puro yun ang request.

yong violet crumble nakabili ako sa woolies $1 lang hehe dito sa pinas 175 pesos yon:)

[_Jasmin_]

Nag hoard ako ng mga chocolates sa Coles and Woolies. May half price promo sila every week and changes every Tuesday. Yung mga single bars would range from $.80-$1, yung mga Cadbury assorted minis in a box from $6-$10 and yung Pods nasa $3 nung time ng punta namin.

[berrycherry]

sa woolworths din ako bumili ng some pasalubong.. yung mga naka half price..

jacket naman, i bought one in cotton on, orig price is $80, pero i got it for $54 na lang yata.

yung ugg boots, meron starting $79 pero cow skin daw yun, pero wool inside.. tapos yung sheepskin, starting from $150..

[choco_loka]

sarap na sarap ako din ako sa choceur binili ko sa aldi... super mura 1 aud lang yata yun. tinipid tipid ko pangkain hehe... i was supposed to give some as pasalubongs pero nasa fridge lang haha.. i also liked the limited ed. tim tams in coconut cream (not sure about the name, but may coconut siya)..

[ataypool]

^true about Choceur. Nakaka-addict din Tofifee, half price with Aldi compared to Coles. Cadbury Fruit and Nut, Snickers, Picnic, Boost, Turkish Delight addicting too.

Pasama din kayo sa Costco kung may kakilala kayong member. Madami selection of Aussie, American and European chocolates and lollies. Masarap din hotdog and pizza sa food stall nila outside the store. Try niyo rin their cakes, salads, sandwiches and roast chicken. Pag may family gathering hindi na kami nagluluto, punta lang sa Costco for them.

Priceline also sells cheap Belgian chocolates in a nice gift box. Taste is good, a bit like Guylian.

Bago rin kayo pumunta dito, check niyo group-buying sites like Groupon if you like Lindt. Fill your own gift box for $24.50 lang. At least a kilo of chocolates but if you are creative could be more. Usually Christmas time ang promo. Meron din sila outlet sa Homebush DFO.

I miss australia na! huhuhu!

I went there last July. it was winter. Ang lamig, ang sarap! hehe

for sydney, i would highly recommend staying in the york by swiss belhotel. walking distance sa sights and wynyard station. we watched les miserables na super happy si boyfie.

I also went to tasmania. grabe nagnenegative degrees per sobrang saya if you're keen for nature trip.

and shempre, melbourne, my favorite city in australia. hehe. we stayed at ibis hotel in little bourke. isang tumbling away from southern cross. enough for 2 young room nila. media maliit pero ok na.

I hope makapunta mako this january ulit before my visa expires.

[dulcette]

tinatanong ba sa application kung kung may kasama ka mag travel? im planning on going alone kasi, self-funded so di ko na ilalagay relatives or friends sa AU

[vain_kixie]

They ask lang if may immediate relative ka NOT travelling with you.
