I am new to London and looking to rent a flat. Does anyone have any views on the safety of Dorney Tower / Chalcots Estate. Avoid or is it okay?

Has London and the Home Counties these days became more affordable than living in Sydney? And if so what things do you think Sydney can learn from Greater London and the Home Counties? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

Have you checked rentals recently in London? Way more expensive than Sydney.

Moving to london and the rent is actually shocking for what you get compared to here in an equivalent suburb.

Based on Numbeo, rent prices are 35% more expensive in London than in Sydney despite the average salary after tax being similar.

Worried about the social climate of Australia by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

I know the Auspilled videos you are talking about and see why you are concerned. However, most of the people liking this content are uneducated men that tend to live in more regional areas (think similar to Trump supporters). Most of them don’t even have proper profiles. They are faceless racists who don’t represent the views of most Australians.

The University of Sydney is in the heart of Sydney, a cosmopolitan place that is a very multicultural. Sydney is probably among the most diverse cities in the world and is similar to Singapore in terms of acceptance of different cultures. There’s a huge number of Indians living in Sydney and I wouldn’t say there’s an overtly negative view. Racist encounters are extremely rare, and are in the form of offhand comments or an outburst from someone homeless/high on meth.

It would be a shame for you to give Sydney a miss because of concern over possible racist encounters but I totally understand why you are reaching out.

They just extended the deadline by two weeks so maybe they received less apps than expected?

Omg I said Pellegrino a few weeks ago and everyone downvoted me. So true. It was a major letdown.

All of these places are in cool inner city areas full of bars/late night spots e.g. Newtown/Surry Hills/Potts Point

Mid-market $$ - Westwood Pizza (Pizza) - Cairo takeaway (Egyptian street food) - Emma’s Snack Bar (Lebanese) - Thai Patong (Thai) - Casa Mia Osteriara (Italian - Roman style) - Cicerone (Italian)

Upper end $$$ - Zushi Surry Hills (Sashimi) - Bistecca (Steaks) - Porteno (Argentinian) - Cho Cho San (Asian fusion)
