Ok mataes coming over to RMIT this feb Marketing degree 3rd year.

Going to be at Oz for 1 year (maybe longer might take a double degree)

Right im mainly concern about the telco services there, looking at optus voda and 3. My question is would it be better to get a phone here and bring it over or to just get a plan there, assuming im only staying for one year which would be wise?

Also after checking out the bundles online i dont quite understand what they mean *infinit calls withine australia*

Any suggestions on telco's that i should loot at? i heard that 3 has terrible coverage.

Cheers Haya,

i guess ill go over and talk to the admins about my educational prospects.

Comments about optus? i hear from friends is the best all around

Oh im also thinking of carting my PC over to AUS, would that be advisable? im thnking of taking the GPU out as well as the HDD's and put it in a box and check it in at the airport, carry along a 24" monitor as well

RM how heavy is your pc? 1 monitor or 2

Going to Melbourne soon would liketo knowis there any winter clothes that I might need like the basics would it be very cold?? My friends say during April it will be what's the safe amount of stuff. And does it rain a lot in Melbourne another suggested I get a trench coat

@ star thks for the heads up, right now all I have for winter/autumn clothes is a hoodie one cardigan and a suit jacket. Thinking of going to uniqlo to buy something suggestions?

My check list would be

Trench
Few sweaters
But don't know what proper jacket to get, universal travelers? Or like would one front Zara suffice

So just the sweater and a trench would do ?

Thanks so much for the advice

The visa is tied to your passport right? one would not need to print anyting exept the email they sent you during the confrimation.

Flight on the 19th to melb getting jitters, have yet to get any winter clothing, going to uniqlo tomororw to check it out. *tips? ive got mix results from friends in the city, some say get treanch it rains alot/dont need anyting get in aus/get a jacket its going to be cold /leather jacket all you need!!/ jumper and your done...etc *

Ive got 30 KG from MAS (grads)

I dont plan to bring any food, but im worried that i might go over weight since im going to check in my monitor and PS 3, my PC will be shiped over during a later date, taking out my HDD/GPU/ram the rest will be boxed paded and shipped via DHL ( any other suggestions)

Any way to judge the weight, lol or should i just wiegh it at home and get an estimate.

I stay at pj where can I get my license changed to an international one?

After visiting a number of mailing services (DHL/POs malaysia/Fed EX/UPS)

I concure that the most cost effective way to mail my PC over is Via UPS's

Box 8 package which is about RM490

53x53x53 cm up to 30kg

i can shove my PC/Speakers Keyboard and mayBe a monitor or more in it..

Question: will i get taxed? the declared tottal value should be about MYR 2k

Age of items less then 1 year

Mailed my Huge mofo ass Tech box worth 30 kg to Melb today, cost me 590,

My pc/speakers/wires/keyboard

Hopefully wont get stuck @ customs
