    Although technically, you're not a permanent resident until DIMIA gives you a card saying so.

    And I am insanely jealous, for the record. At least now I have a place to stay when I visit!

    OTB, what's even better is that's AUS $190. Right now that works out to about US $135.

    Well, that's not what they all go for. We had a nice little brand-new pre-furnished apartment on the Gold Coast with free internet and free local calls (you usually pay for local calls in Oz) and our own washer and dryer in the apartment, and a huge balcony. We paid AUS $270 a week, which was about US $160 at the time but would be more now. The building had just been built and faced a nice little park, and there was a really nice gas grill outside that we could use whenever we wanted. And the apartment came with nice new furniture, remote-controlled heat and AC, TV, DVD, convection oven, etc. It was a five-minute walk from the university. I was so happy there I want to cry just thinking about it.

    Oh you can get a room for $20-80 a week in Oz! It's soooo cheap and the money is about $300-400 a night...so if you rented a furnished room with internet for say, $100 and then saved the rest and worked 3 nights a week...you could save roughly 600-700 a week and take many more days off than you would in the states.

    There was a niiiiice apartment right in the middle of the city completely furnished and utilities paid 2 blocks from work for $260 last week... but thats when my money was stolen and I didn't get it.

    Congratulations! Coorparoo is a nice suburb, i almost moved there.

    Yes, rent is cheaper in Australia, but thats as far as the discounts go. Australia is ass rape in all other ways! Electronics, clothing, beauty products, furniture, eating out, phone calls, cable, utilities EVERYTHING is waaaaay overpriced. Yeah, they try and tell you its because our population is less, we are on an island and there is shipping costs blah,blah...but since everything comes from Asia these days, we know this is untrue. It is CRIMINAL.

    Anyone want to swap home countries? Australia is beautiful (this is true) So, any offers?
    Just kidding, my husband is American and we plan on returning there within a year.

    Firstly CONGRATS!! You're on your way to being an Aussie!

    Secondly, my little rant...

    Now I feel even worse than I felt before about my place. ARGH! I want out of this dump however can't afford to move out due to the f--king rent! I'm paying $225 per week for an unfurnished 2 bed, 1 bath unit (with dlug) in Surfers Paradise. It's old, the carpets need replacing (thanks to wear n tear, hot water system dying and thus leaking all over it last year, the cats pissing on it in various spots (we've made the stains worse trying to use everything under the sun to 'get rid' of the stains), friends marking the carpet (in some way), and so on and so forth.

    I used to like this unit. I have been wanting to move into a smaller better place for quite awhile now esp. due to the private party work I have a car now (so I do not necessarily 'need' to be in such a central location).

    Ultimately I want to buy a house however that is just not viable.

    How many bedrooms is it? Is it furnished or unfurnished? Do you have a garage (slug or dlug) or just a parking space (underground/garage or out in the open) ?

    If I eventually move out, I want to move somewhere in North Central Gold Coast .. Southport, Labrador and around that area. Unlike many years ago, Labrador isn't as bad as it used to be (I wouldn't have considered it at all however things have changed).

    If no go, then closer to the Gold Coast airport at the very least.

    PS... Ah.. if I did eventually work at one of the Brisbane clubs.. would it be possible for me to crash at your place (even if I byo my sleeping bag and slept on the floor in the lounge or something) for a couple of nights once a month ??? Just asking as otherwise I would stay in a female only dorm at a hostel close-by. I'm still tossing up whether to approach VC or Minx.

    It's 1 bedroom, unfurnished with a huuuuge enclosed garage.

    Michael and I agreed it would be alright if you came over whenever you felt the need to make money! Go to VC!!! Not only do I work there, I found the money to be MUCH better. We can take the same cab to work and back and split the costs.

    Time to get furnitureeeee... wheeee.... ^-^

    Sorry about your money situation. Just remember you can always come here for some free housing and food and I can get you into work.

    I could kiss you..

    You just helped me solve the one main thing holding me back from doing a couple of nights once a month at a club up in Brisbane. Transportation to Brisbane isn't a problem (it's called the train and bus) however I didn't really want to have to fork out for accom. over the 3 nights I would be working (call me cheap however I just felt weird having to pay for accom. when Brisbane is so close).

    I'll give your club a go. If I don't like it there, I can then try the other club on my list. One of those clubs is bound to work for me.

    If you buy furniture, watch out for those No Deposit deals. If you do go for one of them, make damn sure you've paid it all off before the interest kicks in and/or are allowed to pay it all off...

    Also, futons are fabolous! Get one of those futon couches that also doubles as a bed Yeh, I'm thinking of myself here.. lol!!!
