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 think Sydney and Melbourne looks very Asian, Perth just got more Malaysian.
Never been to Melbourne though. My ex studied there and it is true what you'd say

I'm Sarawakian

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

Kuching lang.

how about the water temperature. During Feb, the water can be like fridge temp.

16 okay lah, can use hoodie and track pants
Does it drop below 5 at night?

I've never experience anything below 15 in Perth.

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

great tip.
Maybe a day trip drive to Albany down south to visit a friend, passing through Kattaning

Last time KCH-PER-KCH was RM900 via MAS.
I took PER-KUL via MAS in 2016 and paid roughly the same price one way.
No one was boarding the 2am flight, I got the whole middle row to myself

This time I'm using AA,
paid almost RM4.8k for 4 pax

From KL is 5 hours, never use the Kuching one.
AA is okay for anything less than 5 hours but not more.
I've flew MAS and it was way better, obviously

I took one to Auckland and it is shit, luckily they stop over Gold Coast for a bit.

No idea.

Malay guys go there to overstay visa to take job at fruit farms.
Literally like Bangla

Malay got profiled more in the airport.
I got detained for 40 minutes because I bought only 4 days ticket there and
me and my friend was only carrying a bag full of surfing equipment

Late 90s to early 2000, it was when most of my friends went there for Uni. That's how I found out about the price

i saw one demo in Sydney, never saw anything similar in Perth.

I've been 360 Xray scanned, bomb residue checked but that's fine.
But they took away my phone and asked me to unlocked it in Perth.

Lol, I don't use social media or Whatsapp.
I know first hand that they will check my stuffs so I fill my cameras (i was carrying a bag full of camera gears)
with noob amateur photos to throw them off.
I'm actually there for a one day photo job and took the remaining 2 days surfing.
You actually need a working visa to do a paid job there.
That is why I only fly there for 4 days

first time in Sydney, i got the Singapore vibe more than orang putih vibe there.
That's my first culture shock although it was my 3rd time in OZ

i never seen a single animal when I was there. Except for sea gulls

If I remember, went for a lunch in CBD, parked at the multi storey garage nearby.
Paid AUS$16 for like at most 2 hours there?
