    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!

    @dwayti

    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. :)
