    question po. Dun sa budget, pag canberra, meron silang car mortgage. ganun ka kahirap dyan pag walang kotse?
    Also, ano ang recommended areas? Yun madaling maka commute?
    thank you! Kailangan ko kasi netong mga info para sa research sa canberra, for state sponsorship.
    hi bookworm, para ba yan dun sa estimate of living expenses? yung ginawa ko, di ko na ini-specify na car mortgage. general estimates yung ginawa ko, like how much for transpo, accommodation, meals, miscellaneous allowance, clothing.

    Sobrang hirap pag walang sasakyan dito lalo na kung mag-grocery kayu. Kung magisa ka mas maganda tumira malapit sa bus interchange every 15 minutes ang dating ng bus o kaya yung "Red & Blue Rapid Bus" route ng bus na ang daan ay Bus intechange to Bus interchange (city to city) link: http://www.action.act.gov.au/

    Paki check na lang yung map sa link:
    weekdays Route bus 200 http://www.action.act.gov.au/routes/200_fyshwic
    weekdays Route bus 300 http://www.action.act.gov.au/routes/300_belconnen
    weekend Route bus 900 http://www.action.act.gov.au/routes/saturday/900_belconnen

    I advise you na maganda kung sa belconnen malapit sa interchange marami pinoy nakatira dun. Sentro kasi ang belconnen. Dito sa site kayo magahanap ng accomodation:

    http://www.allhomes.com.au

    kailangan nyo pa rin ipriorty na bumili ng sasakyan para makapunta din kayo kung saan.

    God bless..

    Actually, I will be going alone. I was thinking of buying a bike instead, but from your comments, parang di ata kakayanin.

    @bandofbenjamin, yes, this is for expenses. I wasn't going to indicate car mortgage and will put it under the transpo expenses, but when I was checking the budget forum, everyone from canberra had car mortgage included in their expenses. In other states, they had transpo, which is bus or other kinds of transpo. So it just got me wondering.

    @totoyozresident, thanks! That's what I needed to know, yung kung san yung area na malapit sa mga bus. Guess spoiled ako dito sa taiwan kasi sobrang convenient ng transpo.

    Have a look route of 300 or 200 bus. Kung may makita ka na share accomodation close to route of 300 or 200 bus mas maganda. Please check yung map ng ACT for route 300 bus pag aralan mo ng mabuti. I'm not sure kung exact route, link: http://goo.gl/maps/GIUXV

Or automatic na yan dun sa immigration? clarify ko lang, namention lang ng friend ko na nandyan na sa au although skilled independent yung sa kanya.. Hope may mag respond asap kasi will be leaving na next week. Thanks!

    Question po. My sister will be applying for act state sponsorship as a retail buyer. One of the requirements is to provide atleast five job postings in your nominated occupation that is relevant to your skill set. But the problem is when i look up at seek.com there is no job opening for retail buyer. My question is pwede ba na she will provide other job postings na hindi mismo "retail buyer" but still relevant to her skill set?like jobs in retail/merchandising etc? May nakaexperience nadin po b neto pero nakakuha padin ng state sponsorship?

    @kremitz yup pwede basta related sa nominated na skill nia. Nnagyari sakin before yan.. nagpasa ako ng mga hindi masyadong related na job postings, hiningan ako ng bagong batch. Maghanap daw ako ng mas related. Ayun. try mo din sa ibang sites madami naman. :)
