  Kelangan mo talagang humanap ng friends or support group. Marami namang mga Pinoy dito. Siguro pagdating mo, magrent ka ng room sa isang house na may mga Pinoy kang housemates para di ka malungkot tsaka they can guide you.

  Sa pag-aabroad in general, sa una nakakalungkot talaga. Nung mga first few weeks ko nung una akong nag-abroad feeling ko “alien” talaga ako at walang-wala, walang kakilala, walang kaibigan, walang gamit sa bahay, at walang pera…
  
  Syempre resilient naman ang mga Pinoy kaya adapt adapt, mag-reachout sa mga kapwa pinoy, makisama at makipagkaibigan, pero piliin mabuti ang gagawing kaibigan.
  
  Sa tingin ko, ang isa sa advantage sa Oz is walang language barrier, saka since medyo westernized naman tayong mga Pinoy, walang masyadong culture-shock na mangyayari, unlike kung sa ibang bansa ka pupunta na hindi nag-eenglish ang mga tao at malayo ang religious beliefs at cultural practices or customs than us Pinoys...

  Madali ba makipag-kaibigan sa mga Aussies?
  
  Hindi ba sila nakaka-intimidate?
  
  Yung mga Kano kasi halos kapareho natin mag-isip kaya madali makasundo.. same ba ang mga Aussies?

  Mukhang friendly naman mga Aussies, so i don't think malaki difference sa mga kano.

  back in 2011, I was in Sydney for about 3 weeks. medyo malungkot din kasi wala naman akong kakilala at syempre di ko kasama fiancee ko (now my wife). buti na lang may mga ibang pinoy naman na kasabayan ko na na-assign sa Sydney from the same company I am working for.
  
  Ang advantage ng mag-isa ay pwede kang gumawa ng sarili mong lakad na wala nang aalalahaning iba. malaya ka to explore at your own leisure.
  
  Pero depende na din naman yan sa tao. ako kasi medyo likas na introvert kaya ok lang sakin mag-isa. pero mas ok syempre pag may kasama
