@psychoboy what banks? U mean ANZ, NAB? What bank pinili mo?
Nag aapply na din ba kayo ng job now pa lang?
Yeah, better na zone 1 kunin mo para tipid sa pamasahe. Last time I was in Melb for 6 months back in 2010, nasa zone 2 ako so medyo mahal ang transpo. Yung natipid ko sa rent, sa transpo napunta.
Yung CFO lang ba reqt from here? Wala ng iba?

Called up some driving schools too to get some actual driving lesson to adjust with the orientation. People drive on the right-hand side of the road in Manila and Dubai so it was never a problem for me then. First time ko sa kaliwa.

Yes, you can get your TFN sa Sydney. Eventually when you go to Melbourne, saka ka nalang mag report sa VIC gov't.
