I will tell a little bit how was my arrive in Melbourne Australia about two years ago, and I am sorry if my English is not correct.


Well, when I arrived in here, I thought "waw, it's nice, would be fine, I know everything", I was wrong, first of all, I lost five dollars trying to get a trolley on the airport, second, I spent 100 dollars on taxi, fair enough, I didn't know where I was and worse, what I even know where I was going to be, where my hotel was, but finally I arrived safe.
The bad part was, on my second day here, I should go to the hotel reception and ask a simple question, "where is the train station, how can I go to the city", but I didn't, than I spent 60 dollars taxi again.

My company paid me two weeks hotel, what I didn't know also was to rent a house was so hard here, and what I did was I got my last three days to find one, I could not, I needed to move to another hotel, cheaper one and pay by myself, after two weeks I found somewhere and I've moved on, do not be surprised if a taxi driver help you to load and unload your bag, they will be inside all the time, you will be lucky if not, and once you pay them they will just leave you without help.

I'm surprised how safe is this country, it's really good, but my advice, do not cross a park during the night, I don't thrust here like this, but it is really safe.

After I'm finally move on a house I realize, I didn't have mattress, washing machine, drier, dishes, nothing, well I ran to buy every basic stuff, it took me two weeks to be delivered, till there I was sleeping on top of my clothes and washing my clothes at laundry, it was fine, actually it was funny since my wife was in my country waiting for me to be settled here, I've enjoyed my experience but she was worried lol, I was ironing my clothes on top of my pillow (just for few days then I bought an ironing table).

When my wife arrived here to join me, we already had the basic stuffs to live, I thought, lol, was somthing like this:

it was my chair, I made it using dryer box, so confy lol.

Finaly my main art, a tv stand, but would not handle tv, I used it as a dinner table but my chair (another art) broke

After my wife see it, and for sure laught a lot she asked me "where the sofa is? can we buy a TV?", my thought was "ohhh boy this is ackward", after a couple of months finally we rent a car for a weekend and went to find a car to buy, fortunately we found a good deal, the sales man was from Portugal and he speaks almost the same language as us, we got a big old car for AU$3400.00, look at that, looks fine isn't it.

The machine 2009, it's not the grey one, it's the big, huge blue machine 4.0 6 cilinders, awesome 330.000km. PS: 2009 is when I bought it and not the years itself, lol

Actually, what I am trying to say is, you will really need a car, not to work, but to buy incredible stuffs and don't pay delivery, get good deals at the supermarket and for sure, drive around to see KANGAROOS, they are awesome, we will talk about it later.

Be prepared to see our first barbecue, Brazil = Barbecue, we couldn't find one here and we were spending money at furniture and appliances, this way we couldn't afford to buy a barbecue and... just think what we did to eat a Brazilian barbecue, best part of it you can laugh a lot because we do it every time when we see this picture

TO BE CONTINUED.... (I'll show it on the next post)
