    may metro and bus for public transportation. if u leave in dubai and u are familiar to commute madali lng po :D

    may phone apps na pde ka mag navigate kung anong bus sskyan mo , d time of departures and arrivals and it will detect d place kung san ung current location mo. d metro's are easy din indi ganun karami connections and maps are available online and meron din app. on time din po ung time of departures..indi ka maliligaw lalo nat pde ka magtanong ng mga commuters naiba dun. if u dont know how to buy tickets may staff din dun .

    goodluck!

    Hello! Moved kami ni hubby dito sa sydney from dubai last year. One thing na nagustuhan ko dito ay mapuno hehe ala kasi puno masyado sa dubai. Kung nature lover ka, ok dito. Saka weather, maeexperience mo talaga dito ang winter, spring, summer and autumn. Unlike dyan s dubai, summer at super igsing winter. Hindi naman complicated ang train, may app naman na susundan.

    Mahal ang cost of living dito compared sa dubai. Sa dubai, swertehan naman ang laki ng sahod, hindi standard ang pasahod (para sa akin ha) depende sa employer mo p din. Atleast dito, may minimum wages sila depende sa occupation mo.

    Gaya nga din ng sinasabi nila, pag nawalan ka ng work sa dubai, u just have one month to find a new job. Mahirap pa pag kasama mo family mo sa dubai affected din sila pag ala ka ng work. Unlike dito, since PR ka n, mahaba haba time mo hanap saka dito may mga part time jobs ka mapapasukan while waiting sa gusto mo or in line sa job mo.

    @Megger hindi pa ako sure sa sahod though sa nababasa ko dito, pued na makuha yung kinikita natin dito sa middle east. kelangan lang natin consider syempre yung tax at yung mga 2-3 years sa umpisa e baka ndi pa tayo makakuha ng job na related sa work natin ngayon. Ang maganda lng sa AU permanent resident tayo at maraming benefits sa government like yung medicare, public school sa mga bata at centrelink :-)
