What's the difference between tutorial and lecture?  hmm.gif I m not familiar with this
*
in most uni's you will have 2 classes per unit.
one is a lecture, and one is a tutorial.

Lectures is where you go into a large room, like a theatre probably around 50++ people some go up to 250 people. and the lecturer will just talk and you follow along. not that much interaction with students and teacher.

tutorial is a smaller class, around 10-20 people. this is where you interact more with your classmates and teacher. HW and more detailed clarification and all that is. this is probably more important than the lectures.

Some courses may have classes at Week 0, that you will have to check with your school, perhaps my.unsw or vista. But generally speaking, most of them only start in Week 1.

Thanks.Nothings up in Vista yet.

Yes you can but you need to declare it in the quarantine once you arrived there . Take note that in your declaration form , You gotta fill them up too .

Btw , Perth is so hot nowadays ... How do you guys endure such heat ?

The interesting part about rate cuts is that it generally causes the exchange rate to fall, not rise. This is due to the fact that the dollar becomes less 'enticing' as it was when interest rates were higher, this was reflected quite well over the past few months which is why I am wondering why its rising AFTER a rate cut
*
currency traders pretty much factor in rate changes well before it actually happens, so expect to see movements a week or 2 before the actual change....subsequent movements more reflect other factors rather than the rate change itself.......

actually u can bring anything but very mafan if want to pass through custom. On the plane before landing they'll give u one card to fill in to declare anything u are bringing in.

I brought only cloths and electronics stuff and i get to the express lane without them operating my whole baggage from surface to feet. I guess only me or a few laugh.gif Cause i see most ppl bring a lot of food stuff like maggi mee, and the custom ppl open the whole luggage to check everything one by one ohmy.gif

And careful, u can't hide anything cause got some cute beagles tagging along at the baggage claim section laugh.gif If u're unlucky u get to see some fierce dog unsure.gif

Anyway i just reached Melbourne todae laugh.gif Compare to Adelaide is so much more congested, city filled with young peoples. The Australian ppl ( guai lo or asians born here ) are so frenly are nice, but the chinese ( im chinese ) .... unsure.gif not so haha laugh.gif

Now im not sure whether to get a prepaid or subscribe a package for my phone unsure.gif

The customs declaration isn't that mahfan unless you bring a whole suitcase of food, medications, and other declarable stuff. And for anyone who's coming in, DON'T curi-curi hide anything. It's better to declare even if you're unsure of the items you're bringing. The officers usually understand that students will tend to bring in food/medications and stuff like that so they won't be too anal, unless you meet someone who's in a shit mood that day.

Prepaid or subscription... depends on your usage. Anyone who's unsure about the various plans and packages might be better off with a basic prepaid first, then change accordingly.

Put everything that has to be declared into one single luggage so that you don't have to open them all and fish everything out. Of course sometimes the officers might ask you to open everything, but most of the time they're only interested in the declarable stuff that you ticked in the little form. So make life simple for them and yourself biggrin.gif

Not sure about liquor taxes though... those who've done it before please share experience.
