Hey ppl, anybody from sydney uni here? im doing 2nd year chem engg this year at sydney uni

friend tried to declare his sandals which he usually wears when he goes diving. officers at the airport convinced him to not declare them heh

but yea, i've seen people whose golf shoes had to be taken out of the bag and sent to clean

^ those are golfers ma.. for me i'd prefer to declare soiled shoes even though i have none, cos they'll just ask what kinda shoes are those, i say normal sneakers or sport shoes, and they'll just direct me to the xray machine. i rather go thru that than have a 5% chance of getting my bag ransacked at the green lane

i declare when i 1st arrive...then the officer said it is okey since thr it is just littel dirt...it is BETTER TO DECARE and DONT declare, you will be fined AUD10000 if you didnt declare .....

how abt those health supplement?

and to bring in cabin, can i like get a backpack,a laptop bag and a hand carry(dimension and weight as stated)?

make sure the label its CLEAR.
7kg hand carry exclude laptops.(mas)

oh.. wat about panadols?

hmm, i plan to bring some medicine like fever medicine, cough medicine where you can buy from the clinic here..can i bring those??..moreover, since window vista released soon, will the uni upgrade their windows to window vista soon??..i prefer not coz i hate to waste anymore money to get a new laptop...

its best to make sure those are fully labelled but still might not be worth all the hassle as the customs can be a real pain. The adoption of vista by corporations or unis is still in not in big scale. It is highly unlikely they would have gone ahead with the upgrade so soon.

I declared my paracetamol and Zrytec tablets when I brought it in last time. The officer told me it's not necessary because they're not after such "drugs", but you can do the same to be safe.
OT: Why do you need a new laptop for Vista? As nyprinz83 said, Vista adoption will be pretty slow for universities because there is a lot at stake, mainly compatibility issues. If you're in Computing, you're most likely to be using Linux, but Windows for others.

well, my laptop is two years old using window xp home edition..so in case the uni start using window vista..then i gonna get a new laptop as i cannot upgrade my window xp home edition from what i heard from the computer shop ppl..

how bout winter clothes? do i buy my jacket in malaysia or buy in australia better?

winter clothi, if brisbane ah...i dont think it would be very cold compare to melbourne here..just get a jumper or abit thicker jacket, tat is IMHO, it depends on how one`s body adapt to temperature...

Get those winter clothes in Australia. There are places selling them for REALLY cheap. Even cheaper than Malaysia. Don't bring alot of stuff. Most of the stuff, you can just simply get them from there. Not worth your energy and luggage space.

Melbourne has 4 seasons a day. So get a good jacket that can be flexible. Once you wear it, NOT TOO COLD, NOT TOO HOT.

yeap!
n my fav cheap cloths shop is cotton on!

not only Mel has 4 season...
saw the news today that Mel today was 34 degrees...

were you all affected by the bush fire haze from the south??
over here in Perth was affected by the haze but now is cleared...

I like JayJays..... when on sale... a winter jacket is only around $20 something. SO CHEAP! and it is really good to insulate heat.

Melbourne is 38 today. So crazy. Plus with the wind, it is quite disastrous. Can't even walk properly on the street.

any new melbourne students for the year? hope you guys have fun! lol.

wan to ask, can we bring toiletries?like shampoo,shower foam etc...need to declare?

i advice you to buy over here...
its better to get the soap-free type...cuz ur skin will get dry n also apply lotion...
