i already expected b4 i reach melbourne here..here is like 2nd malaysia..diff is here the ppl more friendly compare to malaysia(my opinion)

i would say u better go for temporary acc and look for acc at here..u can inspect yet u can process ur application immediately..or if u got any friends then u can stay thr for few days..n i dun think they will let u reserve place if find through agency..they mostly wan ppl inspect 1st then only can go for application..as short,no inspect=no application

i know wat ur feeling right now as i also asked many ques b4 i came here too..i found many places but yet need to go for inspection only can apply..sot some places no need to inspection but need deposit money 1st which i scared scam..in the end i m lucky tht i got fren can let me stay for 1 week n lucky too can found a place near my uni within the week..inspection when new semester coming is damn pack...thr will b around 20-30ppl for inspection

ya..n if the place u inspected is very nice yet cheap,then u will c all the ppl who go for inspection too quickly fill in application form at real estate office or on the spot while inspection..tht happens to me many times when i went for inspection..inspect half way de,nearly half of the ppl sit on the floor and fill the form =="

i found my place is when i pass by 1 apartment n got notice tht ppl wan rent out so i only can get it "peacefully"..lol

i saw this thing happen b4...stupid fella keep on shout to ppl inside the car n he only shout to foreigner(which is us)..but 1 time only
i think tht fella drunk or sth..

is better if u come 1/2 weeks earlier to secure the place..

i duno about perth but it will b colder than genting..at least wear 1 jacket then will b fine..no need scarf or glove unless ur the type tht scared cold

i think any jacket will do..not like those thick jackets..
but mayb u need socks for ur leg when slping

just wear sth tht u think is warm enough then will b ok...(i dun like those ppl wear like the weather negative celcius or snowing )

2 more days n exam..sigh
nearly 1 year i dun have any exam

pls read 1st page n u will get the answer

lol..when u reach here then u will c here the ppl is like nth...like no case happen

thr is no bank tht can clear instantly with bank draft...
it will need at least 2-3 working days to clear
n i dun think bank will charge u for bank draft..if got also few $$ like $2-5

but if TT then they will charge both sides..mine always get charged $17 per transaction

err..my mum go for MBB to TT money to CBA..so i guess cant help it

ya..last time i reach OZ also with around $3k cash without any prob..n need declare if above $10k

n CBA will b my choice to open acc coz is it so near to RMIT or located at RMIT building

don think so..$10k only apply for cash..

last time my gf came here with cash around $2k n another bank draft around $11k(is semester fees) also nvr declare n nth happen?

well thts i duno...i just know tht i got few frens(which i ask them today) also can pass through without declaring

but yeah,is no harm if just tick 'yes' if u r not sure about it...

i wish melbourne here also got $200pw in CBD

what advice u wan?
act i also plan to go either QUT or RMIT but the course i wan at QUT is nto rly suitable for me.so i choose RMIT n also heard tht RMIT more on practical so this is 1 of the point too

n i believe brisbane will b abit boring compare to melbourne
