The First Western Dish I Cooked in Brisbane City YHA

Today I registered my mobile phone in Brisbane; it's Yes! Optus! Actually, I prefer to use the Woolworths Mobile at first, but its sim card was sold out all the brisbane, so i just give up. After having the mobile phone number, I opened a new bank account in Westpac; about 7-8 days later I have to go back to the bank near the Brisbane general post office to get my debit card. And finally I applied the TFN, but I still worries about the job thing. I hope that I can get used to the Australian accent as soon as possible.

Yesterday I had a very bad dinner 'cause of lacking of raw materials, but I just tried to observe others' cuisines. Finally, I went to Woolworths today to buy oil, salt, beef, tomatoes, potatoes, broccoli and milk; Today, I had a great dinner, western dishes.

First day in Brisbane, Australia.

I got arrival in Brisbane yesterday after a long flight from Singapore via Darwin to Brisbane. The weather here is cooler and drier than Singapore, but the UVA/UVB must be strong. It's a new beginning of life and what is my position here? But the basical problems i have to deal with is that I have to learn cooking in case of hunger to death.

Short Voyages to the Land of the People might be an interesting book. Right now I am a migrant worker in Australia.
