這幾天我繼續好早起身6/7/8點.今日落雨,悉尼:你也不捨得我嗎?前兩晚如常到yha,同朋友farewell dinner(我farewell 咗咁多人,今次輪到我啦),繼續認識新0既朋友.新朋友Alice問:”你就係傳說中0既Fion?”哈!因為好多backpacker都問佢識唔識我.0係YHA 22人飯局我講過,"I remember every one of you."希望你地都記得我.
離開悉尼,一個我住咗五個幾月0既地方,真係好唔捨得呢度0既人同事.對於新0既旅程,黎緊0既體驗,好excited,好期待!.希望黎緊Darwin->Broome高温下喪行山wild camping團,我捱得住啦(日本長野同沙巴神山之旅,我都行到死死下).係悉尼,學煮餸,學外語(主修英語,副修日語,國語….),離鄉別井,適應新環璄,家陣我係強化版0既Fion黎!哈!哈!哈!不過係悉尼,我同朋友住,有朋友照住.同埋悉尼同香港好似,講東話,多過講英文.離開悉尼,我真真正正on my own.從頭黎過,揾工,建立社交圈子,安排行程,黎緊要兼顧埋住.
另外我已經中咗Blog毒.Blog都寫三個:yahoo, xanga, msn.係香港係悉尼,我都差唔多要日日上網.好鍾意同你地係msn/facebook chat.離開悉尼後,無咁多機會同你地網上contact.對我0既一大挑戰吧!我鍾意悉尼,因為似香港.我怕悶.寧願忙.但我想我會喜歡澳洲其他地方,呢度有長長0既沙灘,藍天白雲,大自然,友善0既人……謝謝大家的祝福!!!我會繼續去享受,同你地分享!!!!
收工搭190巴士,係
附近巴士站落車.沿Barrenjoey beach行去Lighthouse.Barrenjoey Headland同Lighthouse屬於Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park範圍.逢星期日1100-1500 30min lighthouse guided tour $3.根據個人同其他backpacker經驗,有以下推介同建議 :
出發前,
申請YHA card,住宿/報團等有折.
可以準備黑衫黑褲黑鞋for工作.或者到步先買.
到步
申請稅號Tax File No (TFN),想快就直接去稅局 Australian Taxation Office.網上申請,幾日至廿八日不等.知道稅號後,通知銀行
退稅可以揾agency幫手/自己上網搞/打去稅局叫佢寄份表仔填. 填自己係 resident,因為有幾千蚊免稅額.
開銀行戶口:我係Commonwealth Bank開咗兩個戶口.一個Streamline account,$4/month. 一個高息戶口NetBank Saver Account 7%厘息.
揾工:直接去酒樓/食肆/food court問,通常都揾到工.可能會要你無錢/一半人工試工.另外可以揾Agency.我有份工係朋友介紹的.想係bar做,考返個酒牌吧RSA: responsibility of selling alcohol.online course但不適用於NSW.NSW要係班房上堂

考完IELTS,可以盡情去玩勒.
去年中秋同一班outward bound朋友於日本山上渡過.今年一樣,同日本朋友,過異鄉中秋節,仲有韓國朋友Jun.
我同Jun係Paddy’s同supermarket買咗好多野.開工,切咗一大盤菜.
本人極度烏龍,每每有經典之作.早上4:45,院友按鐘,我取葯後,發現我將瑣匙,瑣咗係醫生房.更糟糕0既係我連條後備匙都瑣埋係staff room. 等同事Margaret J返工,再call 經理Stephanie黎救我地.Margaret笑說:”How can u do that? I love u!”接著同事Jenny返黎,我就睇住日出交更比佢地.Jenny話,”You are too young to have dementia(老人痴呆).” 我都懷疑自己有Juvenile dementia.0630,Stephanie駕車好快黎到.第一句問我,無瑣匙,咁係邊度瞓呢?如果係香港,我咁搞法.相信比人媽叉兼打爆.跟住我就會極度內疚,自己比咁多麻煩人.Stephanie, Margaret,Jenny不但無嬲,只有關心同歡笑.昨晚 kitchen staff Ai知我走,佢話好多人會唔捨得我.
我真係好唔捨得一班咁好0既同事同院友.昨晚院友Monty問我:”Do you mind if I treat you as my daughter?”每次派完bedtime medicine,佢地都會問我幾時再返工,然後數”咁咪仲有XX日囉”/”I look forward to it.”97歲意大利院友Frank,前排病到幾日臥床不起,我地以為佢就黎唔得.呢幾日佢行到,當然無之前咁生猛(佢會幫Recreational Officer Beth 搬枱搬櫈,打理花園,收信派信,有時食完飯,幫我執枱).Beth叫 Frank唔好再做咁多粗重野.Frank話佢會一直幫,直到佢入棺材.Frank病到死死下個陣,都仲要送我朱古力,”In the drawer/fridge. Choco for you.”
有咁好0既同事同老人家,我都唔知講咩好. I love u!!! I love u!!!!
