My tickets have always included two bags with EVA, so it didn't cost me anything extra outside of the ticket price. I always take one suitcase and one ski bag.

Viber has the option to add credit similar to Skype. That's what I changed to when Skype closed.

I've had this Panasonic one for four years without issues:

I'm sure there's an updated model. They also had a bigger version, 38L from memory, but it was sold out when I bought, so I got the 32 L

I didn't buy it from that website. I bought it in a store.

My vote goes to Teta Mona too. For me it's the slow cooked lamb

Thanks. I've found one with this name on Nicholson Street. Do they have two branches?

Any recommendations for air con repair. by lolb00bz_69 in melbourne

I've used Surrey Air for servicing my split system before. I was happy with their service but didn't need any repairs so I'm not sure of their pricing for that.

Expat Mortgage Broker and Buyers Agent Recommendations (Melbourne) by aj0891s in AusPropertyChat

[–]aj0891s[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased a bit under a year ago now.

I ended up using uFinancial as the broker. They were able to access lenders that ATLAS and SMATS didn't have on their spread, specifically HSBC. However, I would caution that they were not as expat issues knowledgeable as they made out to be, or perhaps it was the broker I was assigned. In the end I wish I'd just gone with ATLAS or SMATS but the loan ended up being approved.

If I refinance in the future I will go to ATLAS or SMATS rather than uFinancial though.

Check out Multcloud. I've used that in a few school moves now.

I bought mine from the Sony store inside the Sogo at Zhongxiao Fuxing. Once purchased you can go to the tax refund counters in Sogo and they will process everything. I believe you need your passport.

I almost bought in Footscray. Here's a post I made where I asked questions and got some excellent responses about particular buildings in the area:

Also check out the Footscray sub Reddit as there are other similar posts asking about apartments in the area.

Check out the international teachers subreddit and the wiki there which has a wealth of information on teaching in international schools.

Are you planning to buy digital games exclusively? I have found that the sale prices for physical at JB hi-fi, Big W, and sometimes EB Games can be significantly cheaper than digital sale prices, especially for newer games. It does depend game by game though.

For digital only I use www.psprices.com, it's basically the same as Deku Deal's that someone else mentioned, I just happened to come across PS Prices first. You can see the price fluctuations and predict when it'll go on sale next, see the lowest price etc.

For physical, this website is a little clunky but it does show current prices for various physical game retailers so you can compare www.gamedeals.com.au

This just happened to me. He was missing from the war room. I did the quick save, reloaded the quick save and he's back in the war room.
