    Yung mga bagong bahay may security system na kasama. Pero mas maganda pa din kung may alaga ka na aso. hehee...ang hirap nga lang kumuha ng bahay na pets allowed :(

    @prcand, Madaming studio and 1 bedroom doon pero mga apartment style. Kung maaari, iwasan mo yun. Hanap ka ng bahay talaga na free standing.

    @zapped ay eto ung gusto ko malaman... bakit pala hindi recommended ung apartment style? dahil ba sa safety? narinig ko rin kasi sa mga kaibigan ko na free standing bungalow daw talaga ung maganda.

    pero for a single na magre-relocate, not sure ung pros and cons.

    @prcand, yes mostly safety concern. Secondary na lang yung break-in and theft kasi wala ka sa bahay pag ginagawa nila yan. Majority ng tenants ng apartments ay questionable characters. Cheap housing ay meron palaging reason kung bakit ganun. Tignan mo din yung time na post ng advertisement kasi hint din yan ng hindi magandang neighborhood or environment.

    @zapped im looking for 2rooms lang. Pero preferred ko sa may CBD area muna. Baka di ko pa kayanin tumira sa suburb ang tahimik masyado baka mabaliw ako. Haha!! Worry ko lang talaga is baka mahirap makahanap ng marerent pag wala pang work pero pwede naman pala.

    @viewsa thanks sa offer ng pag view. Hanap hanap na ko pag malapit na ung big move. End of july pa naman.

    @kittykitkat18, townhouses should be ok. Clear ko lang yung unit na question nyo....basta wag yung one big building then separated ng multiple rooms. Example like yung mga motels sa US.

    @nikx, kami naman ay sumunod lang sa payo ng iba na basta around 15-20 mins away from the CBD ay convenient na tumira. Nakuha ko is 7 mins away from CBD, 10 mins away from the beach and 20 mins away sa wine valley. Pwede na :) Tahimik na buhay ang aim namin kaya oks ito for us. Lifestyle change talaga...180 degrees. Tapos na ang maliligayang araw ng shopping mall every weekend. hahaha!

    Sa mga wala talagang kakilala sa adelaide, may option ba na ipapaship yung gamit sa adelaide then ipipick up nalang sa warehouse? Dilemma ko kasi ngayon yun. Plan ko kasi ipaship nalang yung iba kong gamit from here sa SG to adelaide kasi uwi muna ko ng pinas. pero wala pa kong house sa adelaide.

    3) tax number: online lang to, as long as nasa OZ ka na.
    4) health benefits: pano pala to? :) may nabasa ako somemwhere, pero more of pang childcare. pano pag single lang?

    @nikx meron naman pong option to store it muna then if you have a place you can then ask them to deliver it to your place. Hindi pa po ako nakakarating ng Adelaide but that's what I arranged with Astromovers. Currently it's on it's way na and baka mauna pa sakin bago ako dumating dun.

    @prcand I think hindi mo maasikaso ang #3 & #4 kasi they need an address for them to send you your card. Mas advisable na sa big move na lang gawin unless yung address na padadalhan mo eh kakilala mo.

    @nikx $1400 1cbm then for every additional eh $330. Hindi namina akalain na ganun kadami gamit namin kaya inabot kami almost 3k. Ang quote nung partner company sa Adelaide is $90/month, Better ask them to send you their boxes para maka pack ka na.
