sabi naman ni agent namin wait until next week. so sana tama sya
about sa state personally gusto namin family ang queensland, brisbane o kaya kahit san sa queensland, pero dahil mas madami opportunity sa WA sa nature of work namin inisip namin na sa perth na magsettle sa ngaun. pero ang asawa ko fickle minded, dahil nabalitaan na mas mura ang cost of living sa melby kesa sa mga napuntahan na namin, dun nalang daw lalo nagbabalak kami ng bagong baby, di naman na daw ako magwork so di ko kailangan mag perth ehehe. pero defo not northern territory. andito ako ngaun and first day ko palang sa state na to gusto ko na umuwi sa queensland. hayyy pero andito ang kabuhayan kaya tiis tiis.
maganda sa sydney, dami pinoy saka ang dami mall ang daming pasyalan.

di pako nakapunta sa melby pero i heard maganda daw dun laidback ang lifestyle.
sa sydney nakapunta nako masyado busy, ang bilis ng oras o baka lang kasi gala kami ng gala sa dami ng galaan kulang talaga ang oras ehehe
siguro iconsider mo nalng kng san mo talaga gsto, weatherwise malamig daw masyado sa meby pag winter, sa sydney ok lang sa brissy tropical ang weather kaso cyclone prone ata. , education wise maganda ang education sa qld sa experience ko lalo sa primary schools, sa melby daw maganda ang college saka sa sydney nagkakaiba lang sa mura o mahal ang tuition fee, saka budget wise, iba iba kasi ang cost of living jan sa tatlo. sa sydney high ang cost of living sa nadidinig ko. sa melby ok saka sa brissy.
goodluck sa pagdecide sis tama yan muna pagkabisihan mo ang isipin kng san kau state magsettle para pag anjan na ang grant madali na lahat

Maraming work sa Sydney as my uncle told me, he would even refer me to his company pero kasi ang problema ko talaga ay yung house prices sa Sydney. Oo nga there are jobs abound but if I cant afford to buy our dream house that would be a deal breaker para sa akin for Sydney. House prices in Sydney for a 3 bedroom house 50kms from CBD is at 550K-650k average. Medyo masakit yun, pero I guess if you had really good paying jobs it could work out. The good thing about Sydney is that I have relatives there, a good support for newbie migrants.
Now Adelaide is a nice city, and houses are really affordable, 550k-650k can get you a nice 3 bed room at the CENTER of the city and if you go 50km from the cbd the prices drop to 250k-300k or even less. But since it is a small city there are also fewer jobs so medyo hindi pa kami convinced kay Miss Adelaide.
Perth medyo same scenario with Adelaide, house prices skyrocketed during the mining boom but now is settling down around 550k-600k for a 3 bed in the CBD. Medyo unreliable pa rin at yung ibang prices are stuck pa rin during the mining boom at baka bumaba pa. Dahil nga puro resource sector kaya medyo sketchy kung makakakuha ako ng work dito. But I'm not crossing this one out haha.
Brisbane - Ayus sana pero even though hindi ko nilagay ang weather as part of our selection criteria, sa Brisbane medyo kelangan ko iconsider hehe because of the recent floods at medyo mabagyo din siya parang pinas. The houses are cheap though but nope.
Darwin nope - mainit, hindi ko na tiningnan haha.
So lastly Melbourne! jobs are abundant and the houses are affordable and prices are dropping! Ang dami kasi nagsulputan na bagong residential projects sa western part around 20-30kms from CBD. Truganina, Point cook, Altona, Tarneit as in mga BRAND NEW 3 bedrooms around 300-400k. Plus of course jobs are not necessarily more than Sydney but it's better than anywhere else for my field. But again undecided between Sydney and Melbourne just because of the support group. BUT! if I get my visa this week, I'll start to apply for jobs in Melbourne at kapag may kumagat nakupow, ay MELBOURNE na ko. Kaya Lord please give me the grant na hahaha.
Ang haba na! hahaha kayo ang makakadecide kung ano criteria gusto niyo basta ako eto lang dalawa.

About kung saan mag settle, plan namin ay sa Sydney. Nasa suburb kasi kami ngayon at medyo namiss namin ang city life like Singapore (but not the stress, hehe).
Sana magkita kita ang TeamMay pag nandyan na po tayo lahat. Siguradong masaya yun!
Good Luck po sa ating lahat!
