oh a rather random note i might be coming to australia in february for school... im thinking melbourne (if there arent a lot of applicants from here). so, any advice/tips/info on stuff? is broadband readily available down there? also, im told the job market sucks and i have basically no chance of finding a part time job

any thoughts would be appreciated ^_^

broadband here is pretty sucky
u can get adsl most places, netspace adsl is pretty good at $99AUD or something, which since your from the us translates to around $54USD i think?
every isp is capped with dl/upload limit here..

and yes, the job market sucks

yeah i think so, i was on 100 mpbs when i was in dorms in canberra. i think most decent ones have 10-100mbps connections from what i've heard

U fail 2 mentiont that Melbourne is the most livable city in the world, plus its not that hard 2 fin a part time job just depends on what ure looking for.


P.S. u could always sell ure body on the streets lol

It's pretty hard to get into Australia these days. Your best bet is to find someone in the Indonesia region with a good boat. It will cost a few hundred dollars from there, then you treck inland on foot through western Australia.

This seems to be the standard method lately
