My dream home is a huge >3000sqft penthouse overlooking the sydney harbour. I will be driving a ferrari/porsche/lambo/bentley there...

I spent so much time in coaches and find that Sydney harbour is the worst place to stay. Sea traffic is just too heavy. Those bays facing the ocean are so beautiful and these are the good places. I saw a few huge houses with access to beach and water front...dream house.

Went to the supermarket today to survey on prices. 1 kg of lychee is A$25, 1kg of prawn is A$30. Veg is also very expensive. 1 bottle of coke is A$4. 1 hotdog bun is A$5

Massage is A$90 for 50 minutes, and very lousy standard.

Car is cheap, one Merc 200 is around A$90,000 (need to check)

So, no way to retire there.

I had a pint of the local beer in a pub near brisbane city centre st A$10 in july. It is a rip-off. A bottle of 250ml coke cost A$3 in a supermarket.

People always think Aus cheap. They dont realise the cost of living damn high. You save on car, you lose on others.... The parking can also kill u.
When u go Melbourne, even better. You can drive but u have no place to park. Hahahahaha... At the end, u still need to find somewhere to park and take public transport to get around.

Laguna, try Nobu at Melbourne... Very interesting place... Need to call to reserve a place...

everywhere I go in Sydney is by taxi, it is so expensive
I took the free bus 555 a few times...but no MRT

I had no problem squeezing myself at aud$20K yearly on rental,car,meals,clubbing while i was a student there in 2004. Maybe now need $40k per pax? Have to ask my friend in melbourne when i go visiting..

But of coz.. ang moh country usually is very sedane lifestyle.. Most sit at home after work and invite friends over for wine and dine. Cinemas also not crowded one.. lol.. When I need chinese entertainment like Karaoke, I head to chinatown.

weekends...head out to the mountains or beach .. Usually drive yourself.. Take TAXI will be bankrupt soon..hehe

But hor.. I think Taipei is a very good place to live for extended periods I also willing to go there!

Let alone the nearest hospital, you may have to wait 18mths to get an MRI like in Canada, by which time you would have dropped dead.
