@markbarquin ung sa tax exemption kelangan mo ito maasikaso before the flight, bibigyan ka ng tieza ng parang green pass na mukhang gift certificate with your name printed on it tas ito na ipresent mo sa check-in counter, di ka na hahanapan nung travel tax receipt. Office nila near unionbank sa amorsolo sa makati. For ibang purpose ung pagkuha ko nito dati though and through an agent, pero baka same process, submit form, passport photocopy, wait 1 week, claim tax exemption pass.

So pwede ko pa idagdag yung extra baggage kahit booked na yung ticket and all that?
@Liolaeus
Yes, sa Brisbane, pero kasi na-tempt ako dun sa cheap ticket eh! Nag-usap kami ng boyfriend ko about it... so ang plan nalang, he'll drive from Brisbane to Sydney (10 hours non-stop daw), then mag-totour muna kami sa Sydney and then drive back to Brisbane. Laking tipid.

Ahhh medyo hassle rin pala kung 40 kg! Mag-isa lang akong magkakaladkad ng lahat ng gamit ko eh. So baka mas okay na stick to 30 kg nalang ako? Hehe.
@Liolaeus
Totoo, mahirap nga talaga yung 20 hours total na drive. Lalo na kung sa inyo diba may kasama pa kayong anak? Abang-abang nalang baka mag-sale sa PAL!

Hahaha, pare-pareho pala tayo ng nararamdaman, batchmates! Ako naman nung January pa ako nagpasa ng resignation letter pero hanggang May pa ako magsstay sa work ko. Ayun ang hirap kasi minsan hindi ako maka-focus sa work at puro Australia nalang ang nasa isip ko! Hayyyy. Good luck talaga saatin! Makakaraos rin tayong lahat!

Totoo yan, lalo pa kung andiyan na talaga yung grant mo, batchmate! Excited na kami para sayo!
@filipinacpa @rohani99
Hehehe, excited ba tayo masyado at ang aaga natin nagbigay ng notice?
In my case naman, teacher kasi ako at kailangan maaga nagbibigay ng notice para makapag-hanap sila ng bagong teacher. Tapos pinakiusapan na rin nila ako na magstay hanggang May para mag-assist ng papalit sa position ko. Kaya ayun. Hindi rin naman ako masyadong nagmamadali umalis kaya pumayag na rin ako. Who would say no to some extra cash?
Naku, yung sa EB di parin ako sigurado kung makakapunta ako. Pero go lang kayo! Post kayo ng pictures dito sa forum! Hehehe.
