    @ThePhisix and @StarJhan we are back in SG from our IE in Melbourne and Sydney for a family of 4. In summary, both cities are nice. :) hirap nga pumili. The service apartment that we stayed is clean and in the CBD area. Actually a few minutes walk to Victoria Market and Flagstaff Station. At the moment, hindi pa kami makapili ng husband ko.

    Melbourne has that gloomy feel. I like the laid back atmosphere.

    Sydney is like a bigger Singapore. A busy city with an airport accessible to train.

    Since we both stayed in service apartments, we rarely eat outside. Nag grocery lang kami sa Coles and cooked in the apartment. Btw for those mummies out there with infants on S26, mura ang S26 sa Australia. Dito sa SG, SG$44 ang 900g/tin (Progress Gold) , pero sa AU AU$20 lng ang 900g (Gold). Kaya nagdala kami pabalik SG ng 6 tins.

    Para walang hassle d na kami nagdala ng meat products. I brought 2 packs of Old Town coffee para pasalubong. I declared everything maski ung portable nebulizer and nebules. D nman na nila binuksan ang bag, pinaamoy na lng sa dog :)

    Hello po, tanong ko lang po, sana may nkakaalam..

    Sa immigration po ba ang need lang nila ay yung Visa Grant, passport na may PDOS sticker?

    kasi po may work na ako dito sa Australia under 457visa, usually kapag umuuwe ako kelangan pa ng OEC at kung anek anek na para sa OFW. pero siguro sa sunod kong bakasyon sa Pinas (in 3 weeks time) (sana) may PR na ako.

    Then kapag lumabas ulet ako ng Pinas, tho trabaho ang dahilan at hindi BM, need pa po ba dumaan sa POEA, OWWA etc kahit PR Visa na hawak mo?

    salamat sa sasagot. (mejo magulo ata tanong ko)..
