    Hello,
    Pa-hi jack na lang din po nung thread. Pupunta po ako sa Sydney sa Australia sa January for 3 days 2 nights. How much pocket money kaya yung advisable? Ang plan ko lang naman ay hotel -> Sydney Orchestra at syempre kumain! hehehe!

    Bigyan nyo naman ako ng idea kung magkano yung mga fast food dyan at train.

    Kasya na po ba ang 500 Ausd in Cash? Bayad na lahat ko po. Hotel and airplane. Bale yung 500 ay as in pang lakad at kain lang.

    Dito po kasi sa States ang 500 ay sobrang laki na po nun.

    Hi, Maagtatanong po sana ko kung magkano yung dapat na dalang pocket money ko per month if I'm Planning to move in sydney. and pang ilang months yung dapat na dala ko if wala pa akong work pagpunta. I'm a draftsman by profession and Single, I'm planning to rent a room near mrt so hindi na kailangan bumili agad ng car. OK na po ba yung $10K? around $1.5k per month good for 6 months. willing naman ako na mag part time job. and lastly madali po ba maghanap ng part time job? di nman ako maarte kahit anu bsta decent yung job ok na. salamat in advance :)
