This coming summer (winter) is my 4th trip there
so is there any changes that happened since?
Haven't been there since 2017

Got my evisa last week and i already book a place near Scarborough beach (Doubleview) for roughly 3 weeks
Already got a car from a friend for us to drive around, not my first time driving there.

1. Is the Friday food market in CBD with the Brazilian BBQ stalls still there, I've been dreaming about it ever since?
2. I know I will be shitted by custom upon arrival but I'm not in the "suspicious" demographic. They only check single Malay man more.
Are they more strict or lenient than before? I was checked for 40 minutes with my phone taken away last time I was there
3. Is there any chance anyone going for a fishing trip? Where to find or advertise for like minded people.
4. Is there any pickle ball court that we can use? Hopefully not as far as Freo
5. Which Telco would you suggest for me to get.
6. Is the Malay nasi campur place near CBD still open?
7. Recommend me an Italian place other than the one we ate previously at Sir James Mitchell.
8. How cold it is in winter? My first time with this season, I usually go there in Feb or Oct.

Thank you in advance

Well, true but I never experienced it personally.
The only time I got racial aggression was in Singapore.
I can pass as a Chinese but he turn aggressive once he found out I was Malaysian.

Perth okay lah, Mat Salleh stranger come to me and chat on the beach, no problem.
Made a few Mat Salleh friend when I was there and we went to Big Day Out together.

I think most of the problem is in Melbourne or Sydney.
My friend got smacked in Mel for being brown.

Sydney I went there, people a bit cold but not racist at all.

I hate running and it is too cold to swim or surf during winter.
I hate putting on a wet suit.

So Pickle ball is the best way I could sweat over there

First time driving? Just that do not bring the driving style here to there even when you are on highway. Read the speed limit and adhere to it ALL THE TIME.

never thought of that.
I've swam in Scarborough, Floreat and another one south nearby.
Rented a board in the Quiksilver shop and spend the whole afternoon in the water

No sir, I'm aware of undercover traffic cops looking for people going above speed limit in schools area.
I saw a guy got pulled near my AirBnB

My rental even got hit by a stupid woman while it was in a parking bay in 2015
I'm too dumb to opted out for insurance and RM550 got deducted out my card after repair
