    @elena05 this summer nag 41 degrees dito sa sydney. Mas mainit sa ibang state... 1day lng yun pero my daughter stayed in the bath tub almost whole afternoon.. Sobrang init. Usually 25-29 lng summer dito.

    Now autumn na pero 23-26 pa rin.. Still giving me headaches sobrang sunny, cool and breezy naman pero the sun mainit pa rin sa mata and skin.

    Expect to:

    1. House-hunt
    2. Work adjustment (feeling ko, aabutan pa ako 6 months to adjust to work climate)
    3. pagkuha ng mga tax number, medicare provider/prescriber number, professional registration and licensing, etc.
    4. opening bank accounts, credit cards
    5. deciding on mobile provider, internet, electricity, gas, the works
    6. setting up superannuation, salary packaging
    6. Checking out the sites/places to see around the area
    7. sabay bili na rin ng plates, utensils (basic houseware) and useful stuff tulad ng jacket at comforter dahil malamig!
    8. Looking for church (usually they are far and few in between)

    Ano pa ba... Mabilis lang po ang first month. :O

    21 Dec 2012 - 457 lodged
    7 Jan 2013 - medical finalised
    8 Jan 2013 - visa approved
