    @don0126 Hello, sa ngayon palamig na dito pero nasusuot ko pa usual clothes ko sa Pinas, kelangan lang lagi ng prepared with a jacket. Pero tingin ko starting June, July kelangan na yung winter clothes. Kelan ang dating mo dito? And saan kayo magsstay?

    @Aussiepangarap challenging talaga ang paghanap nang work dito sa adelaide. If I were you mag research ka sa mga industries na related sa field mo list them down as your possible employers. Doing research is very important.

    @Aussiepangarap mga 2 months naka hanap ako nang odd job. Then 4 months after medyo related kunti. There was a time na I work 3 different jobs at same time para lang maka cover sa cost of living. Konti lang kasi mga IT or Telco jobs here in Adelaide so challenging talaga

    @kisses1417 yes, you can kahit jobless ka pa. Yes meron $ 200-300 for family, usually unit.
    I dont think you need to stay near CBD unless if may sure job or school na naghintay sa inyo sa city and gusto niyo very near kayo. Mahal pa rental near city. Hindi naman matraffic and hindi rin malayo ang other suburbs dito to the city unlike sa ibang states
