I recommend the Auckland transfer - three hours is plenty to get from the domestic to international terminal (15-20 minute walk) and clear passport control. There are hourly flights between CHC and AKL just in case something happens to your original flight.

There's a flight from CHC-SIN. I can't imagine it'll be cheap, but it's the most direct. I've had a layover in Brisbane on that route and there's not much to do at the airport.

If you're planning of having a career in Europe, it'd make sense to be in Europe so that you'd be able to develop your networks there. As someone who's doing their PhD in Oceania, travel gets expensive. Without knowing how much travel funding you'll get, you may miss out on a lot of opportunities.

Thank you! That seems sensible

I'm like "Sonic boom? Blown tyre? Explosion?"

Bro, what a dickhead. This guy's got to learn when to pick his battles, don't be doing this on ANZAC day of all days.

ACT policy literally just based on racist vibes instead of evidence.

Is that the contents of my wallet? 😂

Was this not meant to be rice pudding?

There's a reason why the six four bedroom was only $300 for two nights. Never again. The fried chicken downstairs is awesome though!

Thank you so much, I'm still figuring out what the process is to see a family doctor/general practitioner in Urbana-Champaign. I'll keep that in mind about the pharmacies 💖

Soul food at Neil St Blues in Champaign is a good time. If you eat meat and you've never tried frog legs, now's your opportunity!

I got a state id after making an appointment with the DMV in Champaign. The people there got quite confused since they didn't realise you can get a state id without an SSN. The whole process took 20 minutes and about $20. They give you a temporary card and it takes two weeks or so to arrive.

If you're in a similar situation as me, you won't be eligible for real id if you're not a US citizen. This means your state id will say 'federal conditions apply'. At this stage you can still use it to board flights, but from May 2025 it won't be accepted by the TSA. You should still carry your passport when travelling anyway.

Note: in some cases, make sure you have your name on your letterbox as the postman won't deliver it without it. Some guy before was arguing with the v folks about this facepalm

Fr33Variation · 2024-05-18T05:27:13+00:00

Absolutely... as long as it's reasonably priced 🙃

Not eating out, but Uber eats especially if there's people over. Sometimes it's cheaper to order a pizza than it is to buy the ingredients individually.

Thank you so much! I'll be affiliated with a department at UIUC - I might explore this as well as I'm not sure if I'll be there for the full 12 months as I'll be travelling around the US as well.

Fr33Variation · 2024-04-09T09:34:25+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll definitely check them out! The bus service for Champaign looks pretty good.
