Hello @nikkilapan!

I spoke to my friend na may 2-BR apartment. Mag-isa lang din siya sa apartment niya, she offered her room dati sakin. Pero nakahanap na rin kasi ako ng apartment ko. Di ba naghahanap ka ng place? When ka ulit dadating? I'll PM you re: details.

Malapit na June. Welcome to Aussie! 🙂

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum and I'm so glad to have found this site. My student visa has just been granted and I was wondering if I can I bring my laptop to Australia? Are there conditions of bringing a laptop to Australia? Also I have heard stories that customs/immigration will search/inspect your laptop hard drive, is that true?

mikes

@ivy i'm bringing my laptop hand carry... hinde naman siguro... may website ako nakita about it... here www.saaustralia.org/index.php/topic/40083-bringing-a-laptop/

yup malamig now month of jun-july so i'm bringing lots of clothes for winter...

@ivy nung nagpunta kami nung Aprilwala naman akong nakita na chineck na laptops. mas mahigpit sila sa food/milk/wood mga ganung things.

Winter na dito sa Australia. Iba-iba pa rin ang range ng temperature dito, depende kung saang state or city ka nakatira. It is good to bring at least a jacket, fleece/wool/leather material. Mas magaan ang fleece so hindi gaanong hassle sa luggage yun. Mura din ang fleece jackets or jumpers dito. They're not as "fashionable" looking, but they're practical at pwedeng pang-doble. Magaan rin sa luggage ang puffer vests/jackets.

I have a few reminders on winter essentials here, maybe you can just check it out. Hope it helps.

we brought our laptop and di naman ininspect, 🙂 kung makakabili po kayo ng adaptor sa pinas bili na kayo, iba kasi yung socket dito, sa mga ladies bring sanitary naps kasi its expensive here.. and lip balms too. 🙂

Nadine

Agree on the lip balm! 🙂 May 4 na ako. Isa sa bag, isa sa work, isa bedside, at isa sa sala. Winter here is cold and dry!!

Pero may lip balm $2-3 dito. Mas mura ba satin?

nutellagirl

@Nadine hi po.. Almost the same lang yung cost ng lipbalm satin.. 🙂

May pagkain naman dito pards. Damit ang mahal dito. Kahit mga locals dito bumibili online ng damit dahil ang mahal sa mga stores. Tsaka if yout hink your winter clothes are warm enough - think again. In my observation, heto yung categories ng mga necessities base sa affordability:

Mura:

food (Aldi's or Woolies)
small appliances (sa K-Mart at least)
household and kitchen materials
meds and vitamins (Chemist Warehouse)

Mahal:

damit
electronics
furniture
bottled drinks sa labas (seriously? $3.5+ sa small Coke? $3 bottled water?)
DAMIT!

Mahal nga coke dito...

Believe me mate, I am a coke person but the almost 3 months na pagstay namin dito mga 2 litres pa lang naimon! 🙂

@Nadine what I bought kasi is $3.95 (the cheapest na nakita ko) eh sa Pinas for less than P100 makakabili ka na. 🙂

Sure. But so is everything else unfortunately. Toothpaste, toothbrush, wet ones, powder, the list goes on po. But these are probably the cheaper ones, kung P50-100 difference lang sa Pinas. In contrast, may P150 dress satin, wala ni $5 dress dito. Without a doubt, basic essentials dito are expensive like food, damit, grocery. Mahirap talaga mamili kung ano ang dapat dalhin.

Having said that though, I have learned to hunt for bargains

$3 sweater sa esprit and witchery, keri na
points with Terry white chemists, kaya yata ako nakakuha mura lip balms at 50c socks for winter from them
naghihintay ako na mag sale ang items sa Coles or BigW. May $10-15 fleece blankets pag naka sale

Pero winter jacket, magdala kahit isa lang. Plus electronic adaptors.

TasBurrfoot

oo, electronic adaptors are a pain here at around $15/pc!!

If I were you i will stop converting PH vs AUD (mentally)... you cant expect prices to be low as PH prices ...

You are already on AU not PH

Mate, you can't blame these people (even myself am guilty of this) as they are still relatively new to Australia unlike your 6yrs of stay here...

Pero yes, you do have a point in your post above!

Im not blaming them, Yes I am guilty also .. para i mind set lang sa kanila na ganito ang presyo sa australia, less worry ...

if you want cheap stuff you can try to stay tune to this site

http://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals , http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/

they post some really cheap stuffs mostly electronic gadgets

and also the best way to get cheap stuffs locally is if you shop around .. kami kasi ni wifey ginagala namin ang buong suburb to find where the cheap stuffs are

Mas mura lipbalm sa atin, halos Php40 lang ata ang chapstick if I remember correctly. Winter is really dry. Aside from lipbalm, you have to use moisturiser on your skin every time you go out.
