Hey lets share some feedback ya....

FIrstly the hostel was great..coz it reminds me of our bunk ..haha..no prob adaptin..

anyway..the food was reasonably priced..min was like 6 bucks AUSD...well at least we were

mentally prepared... Some of us started to panick bout their finances on the 2nd day ( u noe who)

too bad cannot go blue mountains and hunter valley...althou i was strongly recommending it b4

the trip..some of us decided to go on the 2nd last day..well wat to do...too late liao

the pancakes on the rocks, sydney fish market, and fast food chains were awesome...

1kg of sashimi,lobster,oyster,sotong etc etc...and white wine...wah shiok...

but they dont seem to offer ketchup or chilli sauce for the fries and others one..hmmm

the weekend market were shiok to shop at...paddington,the rocks and paddy market

the aussie chicks were hot...CLeavaGE gaLorE...they like not afraid of cold one...

the beaches were nice to walk..from coogee beach to bondi like walking from 00 to braincell ba...

not VERY FARRR......

yar the walking and exporing were horrible..walked from 10am to night 10am...seh kar...

even got a chance to do some bouldering at the university of sydney..cool..

no a bad place to visit but muz bring more money...or else cannot enjoy the shopping and food..

the worse ice cream they have is like the best ice cream in singapore...

Update for Aussie travellers

if u spendin $75 a day, for whole trip is $525
IN AUSD is 438.316 AUD

IMHO, dat is not enough...
*if we eat breakfast in hostel, two meals a day maybe total 20AUSD
WHole trip ( 7D )meal cost = 140AUSD
* Base on the info i posted earlier, i suggest puttin aside 200 AUSD for tourist attractions and contingencies
* hostel stay = 15AUSD per night = 105 AUSD?
* Transport and eating some finger food along the way = 100 AUSD
*shopping for clothes,bags,relatives etc = 200 AUSD ? to own's discretion

well dat is how i calculate..i dunno how u guys count la...
well my expectation is total 765 AUSD
i changing 1k singapore dollar = 834.889 AUD....not really much also

so juz for ur info la....dont go australia and change money..unless u bringing american dollar....

U guys can come post how u think u r going to spend and ways to cut cost...
it takes two ass cheeks to produce a fart..so please share...

for the aussie travellers

yeah yeah i m not working so i got alot of free time to check this out

THere is this <>... I paste the info down give u guys see

I've gotten some pretty cool mags on sydney...wat tosee, where to explore and its prices...
my mum collected it from 8-dayz and women weekly and some other mag...guess it came useful
will bring it during our clearance day to show you all..quite alot of info..

anyway i was informed the sky turns dark between 4 to 5 pm....if we want to visit blue mountain and some scenic places, we may need to stay at the hostel there coz the distance quite far..
i got a strong gut feeling $75 a day is insufficient to fully enjoy yourself...the food, taxi/bus fare , the admission tix, shopping....

temp now is 15 to 20 degrees...recommended to bring lotion and lip balm. well dats wat my sis fren who is studying in aust told me

arrrgh...money flowing out like water

bought a 2nd hand motorola V3 for $270..less than 1 month old...warranty not yet fill up yet.....tomorrow gettin it...

gonna get contacts so i can play b-ball safely....yesterday one guy wham the ball at my face...damn dulan...lousy dont play bball leh....tink another $300

go australia....around 2k ba

Class 2b...around $500...

July going bangkok...another $500

juz came back from malaysia...spent around $600...

Arrgh....wat a burn in my pocket

sydney trip - update!

okay got good news. the promotion for the airtickets is still on so expect a $770+/- airfare. and we're able to book a 8-bed dorm for $17.85 per night provided we stay minimum 6 nights and there are at least 4 of us. that sums up to $124.95 for accomodation.

so it's 770+10+46+124.95= $950.95 for your flight, visa, travel insurance and accomodation. on top of that i recommend that you bring along $500 or more. 能省的已经省了。so yeah.. rough gauge.

ok so far got like 4 of us. left ey thinking, jieming might meet up in sydney and aaron needing somemore brainwashing. if we can find one more... the whole dorm will be ours. =)

HEY COUNT ME IN

tink it meets my budget...
count me in if the promotion is still on
i only worried bout the leave that i can take to go overseas
