After 9 hours flying from HK to Brisbane, we took immigration cards filled in advance on the airplane to across the custom. There were few questions when we passed and then we went to baggage claim to wait for our baggage. There is a big difference between AU and Taiwan that is we need to take our check-in baggage to cross baggage checking counter and it is very very very serious for checking baggage in AU. In that time, I was blocked by the Customs officer. In the beginning, he asked me if the baggage is mine, if I read all the details on the immigration card. Fine, I said yes but in the meantime I started doubting that if someone put something illegal in my bag and became nervous. Then the Customs Officer started to turn over the discipline written on the book with multi language translated. “Wow! No Chinese version”, I thought. Finally, the Custom Officer asked me to check my bag. “OK! Here you are! Let’s see what’s up!”, I pondered. The Custom Officer took my stuff out and I saw there was a smile on his face. Ha! That is our LOCK with my wife’s pantyliner. I think he must regard LOCK as a box with sandwich, bread, ham or something else.

The mate who picked us up is called Omar arranged by ABC, our agent. Omar and his girl friend also spend their Working Holiday here. They just finished language school course and started to take a part-time job. On the way to our shared house, Omar introduced us the surrounding environment of Brisbane and gave us some information of part-time jobs. Thirty minutes later, we arrived our new home. Let’s say bye-bye to my first friend whom I might not have a chance to meet again.

Our new home is so-called town house with a little garden and a garage. Let’s take a look at what kinds of facilities we have.

A living room with a TV set, an air-conditioner, a DVD player, sofas, a table, a treadmill and a single bed. I heard this bed was removed from our room. Instead we got a double bed in our room now.

Our bedroom with a king sized bed, a desk, a small cabinet and a big wardrobe. See!! Our room is full of personal stuff. What a pity that I forgot to take a photo of our clean room. ^^|

Our home is not bad, right? In fact, there are there rooms in our house, one for our sub-landlord who is a shy Taiwan boy living in AU from his childhood (I call him 阿宅) and another for an Australian student (I call him fatty). Our new house has everything that we need and is very close to bus and train station but the rent is not cheap. It spends us 170 AUD for one week. Although we have good price for this house, it is not affordable for a long time. If you still want to see any words on this blog, please make a donation for me.
