    @wenzhel - sorry hindi pa ako nakapunta adelaide.. hehe..
    pero i guess between 30-50aud is reasonable price per night for a hostel.
    mababasa mo nmn mga review.. check mo kung okay na ang location kung malapit sa transpo/food/cbd..

    contact mo din ung mga taga adelaide dito sa thread.., pm mo sila baka matulungan ka nila hanap ng permanent place...

    @lock_code2004 as per the reviews dun sa hostel na cnabi ko e di maganda yung place. maraming negative comments like madumi, me surot, etc...baka magbackpack oz na lang ako as suggested by @countess...mas mahal ng konti pero I think mas worth it..AUD60 per night with breakfast and BBQ dinner every wed...

    Hi guys, ka gagrant lang ng visa namin this week and Adelaide bound din. Plan namin na pumunta jan by Jan 2014 but in the meantime will start looking for work online baka maswertihan naman. Tanong lang po, madali lang bang mkahanap ng qa/tester job sa SA? sa mga nababasa ko kasi mga developers maraming opening but prang konti lng ata sa field ko. Meron ba dito sa forum na ngwowork sa testing?

    salamat sa mga mgrereply :)

    You dont need work para makakuha ng TFN, you can even do that online http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content.aspx?doc=/content/41612.htm
    You just need your visa and passport.

    By the way how young is your daughter nga po? If you dont mind me asking.
