@wenzhel - sorry hindi pa ako nakapunta adelaide.. hehe..
pero i guess between 30-50aud is reasonable price per night for a hostel.
mababasa mo nmn mga review.. check mo kung okay na ang location kung malapit sa transpo/food/cbd..

contact mo din ung mga taga adelaide dito sa thread.., pm mo sila baka matulungan ka nila hanap ng permanent place...

wenzhel

@lock_code2004 as per the reviews dun sa hostel na cnabi ko e di maganda yung place. maraming negative comments like madumi, me surot, etc...baka magbackpack oz na lang ako as suggested by @countess...mas mahal ng konti pero I think mas worth it..AUD60 per night with breakfast and BBQ dinner every wed...

Hi guys, ka gagrant lang ng visa namin this week and Adelaide bound din. Plan namin na pumunta jan by Jan 2014 but in the meantime will start looking for work online baka maswertihan naman. Tanong lang po, madali lang bang mkahanap ng qa/tester job sa SA? sa mga nababasa ko kasi mga developers maraming opening but prang konti lng ata sa field ko. Meron ba dito sa forum na ngwowork sa testing?

salamat sa mga mgrereply

@JanChloe masyadong mahal yung 250 per week. yung price n yan, 1 unit n may 1 bedroom n yan pag mlpt sa city and pag malayo sa city pde k n makakuha ng 1 unit n may 2 bedrooms.

JanChloe

thanks po emon and ren..
i'm trying to check n lang online s backpackers OZ para mas makatipid.mukhang ok nman ang review nya based s tripadvisor...malapit lang ba un sa crown plaza? kse ung first 4 days ko s crown plaza kami stay ng daughter ko.. eh kung near lang eh visit n lang ako personally dun pra magpabook..
nakakainis nga ung indian n nirefer s aken nung agency ko dito s dubai, una ang alok s aken eh 250 per week n room, ang mahal . Then, supposedly i-assist nya ako upon landing since kasama un s service n binayaran ko s agency .. ung mga kelangang ipa register.. unfortunately , a week before my flight , nagsabi n uuwi daw cila ng canada.. so wala din , same day ng dating ko, that night alis nila..
kung kelan nman malapit na, saka nagkakaroon ng mga hassle..
hay naku, nkaka-bother n tlga, hirap nung d mo alam anong nag-iintay n kapalaran s amin dyan..
in God's grace hope everything will fall into right place ..

JanChloe

Tanong po ulit..
Upon arrival, sa case ko po staying 1 month lang.. necessary b na magfile n ng tax file number khit wala pang work and kelangan bang magregister s centrelink.. ung visa grant na 475, entitled n b for centrelink services?
if required po ang tfn, ano po ang reqmts?

sabbie1229

Ren

@JanChloe

You dont need work para makakuha ng TFN, you can even do that online http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content.aspx?doc=/content/41612.htm
You just need your visa and passport.

By the way how young is your daughter nga po? If you dont mind me asking.

Ren

I-share ko lang this website "Adelaide Bound" provide a good info about adelaide. I remember reading this before I migrate here in Adelaide.

Although a bit pricey yung mga accommodations na recommended nila.

ozzieness

Ren

@ozzieness
