Yun nga lang kinailangan ko munang mag exit ng bansa dahil nag expire ang student visa ko and akala ko hindi pa. 4 months na ko dito sa pinas currently naka lodge na ang 189 visa ko.
Bale almost 3 years din ako tumira sa Brisbane. Sa mga nagtatanong. Oo maganda sa Brisbane. Laid back lang pero metropolis na rin. Hindi mo feel na nasa remote area ka. And weather ay parang pinas nga lang sa winter very bearable naman. Maraming pasyalan. Malapit sa beaches. Gold coast is about an hour drive or an hour and a half train. I love the gold coast especially the theme parks. Night life naman ok di sa gold coast pero for me bigger ang night life sa Brisbane. It's safe. Naglalakad nga lang ako magisa sa gabi dun. Marami sinehan. May beach sa South bank which is open all year round.
Sabi sakin ng mga galing Sydney at Melbourne mas polite daw ang mga taga Brisbane. People stop and say hi especially in the suburbs.
Brisbane isn't really a big city. Pero you'd find that it's just the right mix. Nature, metropolis, leisure.
