getting a house for rent in Australia
this was the terrible time when we looking for a house to rent. we have to get the house key from the agent located somewhere in Coburg. She was really rude and not friendly at all. She yelled and seems like she did not see us in front of her. *%?* her... luckily we found an agent for other house, she is a Malaysian and really helpful. she still has the value of civilization.
generally, the rental house doesn't have anything except stove..unlike US or Canada. so we have to buy our own and usually for those just started life, we have to buy second hand stuffs like fridge, washing machine, sofas etc. mostly the household stuffs are expensive if we wanna buy new brand. again unlike US..there are alot of discounted product selling at crazy prize.

Australia... my first impression
Australia is the place that I thought v. warm friendly and excellent customer service...before i arrived here, me and my hubby went to predapture talk at KL and they said there are alot of restriction in immigration procedure esp. food. And we did everything that have been told and ask from the experience and the officer.
When we arrived at Melbourne airport, we have to queued up and waited for our turn.
along the way, one of the bags fell down. ( we have 4 kids and of course alot of stuffs we brought from Malaysia)... The very handsome and tough officer said " this is the worst place u stop" ..he just said without helping us and walk away with very fierce face... He suppose to help us...or if he doesn't have time to help us just say politely ...and sadly nobody at immigration welcome us...i never had this bad experience in Malaysia, united States, netherland and ...few more countries.. I have been all over the world attending conferences before I came to Aussie... and this is not the right place for me...
the people are rude, cocky and intolerence..and of course not friendly..unlike at US...(i love US)...
I think they should change their attitude esp during driving, dealing with people...
I have alot of things to say here....later I wanna talk abt looking for a house to rent...another my bad experience ....
