I have a workmate looking for someone who can take over her unfurnished room in a 2 bedroom unit apartment sharing with another female occupant. I think their lease finishes in February 2015.
It's an unfurnished bedroom with a wardrobe. The rent is $135 a week plus bills to share. It's near flinders Medical Centre and near the bus stop just outside the unit.
For more information please send her an email at [email protected]. Cheers!
@IslanderndCity mga 5km ata to the city. Kinuha na namin kasi nangamba si mister na baka wala kami matuluyan tapos pagdating doon saka na lang daw kami maghanap ng mas mura.

9.5 years din ako natira sa baguio and during peak winter mas malamig sa adelaide.
brixx89Sydney Posts: 122Member Joined: Nov 07, 2014
wow lamig din pala jan..thanks for the info
RenAdelaide, SA Posts: 220Member Joined: Jun 21, 2012
Malamig especially early morning and evening. Although it says 8C to 18C also consider the icy wind, further lowers the temperature, let say an 8C in winter plus wind may feel like 4C around 630am. Imagine waiting at the bus stop for 20mins with that temperature.
Bring the thickest jacket you can find in the Philippines. Then buy a proper one here. Also consider that our body takes time to acclimatize. It wont hurt to be prepared.
@IslanderndCity change of plans kmi. May nlng dw pra sabay2 na kmi ksama 2 yo daughter. Nakahanap ka na po ng matutuluyan? Pashare naman po ng contacts if meron ha. Salamat

@bhelle_mt02, agree ako, we should be looking for accommodation 1 month before the departure. I'll let you know as soon as may development na samin. Thanks.
