SETTLING IN

If moving houses is troublesome, then moving interstate is super-hyper-duple-troublesome. I was tremendously happy once I got the offer from Coffey, only when I havent thought of the shits that I have to go through before I left for Brisbane - sorting out all the shits, throwing those not-so-useful thingy, selling the furnitures, packing and sending all the sutffs. But I'm lucky enough that I'm gonna stay with my brother, so I dont need to look for place to stay in Brisbane.

It is never easy to leave a place after staying for four and a half years, especially having to leave all the friends behind. I remember suffering to settle in Sydney when I first came to Australia almost half a decade ago. I believe everyone studying abroad knows how hard it is to settle-in at new place. For me, the Aussie accent, the transportation system, the weather, the environment, etc in Sydney. And just when I'm considering sophisticated in everything in Sydney I've got to leave the place, or in fact I have already left the place and I'm in Brisbane now - having to go through the 'settling in' process. But it is way much easier now compared to last time, and I have got my brother here to 'look after' me.

Hi ShanZEN,
Welcome to Brisbane!
My blog will give you an idea of what's going on around the city. I'm not sure what part of Brisbane you are moving to. Best wishes of success
