Guest dopemills Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Thanks a lot! I'm taking Biotechnology. Not exactly the most interesting subject was I guess I should be able to do ok with some Biology background. Should be flying over a couple weeks earlier between the semester start. Wanna take a look at the place and stuff like that. It's going to be my first time in Australia so I'm quite excited. Any tips on where I should be visiting? Is there a Chinatown over there? I feel quite noob, probably should pick up a lonely planet or something. LOL Anyway, been reading a couple of posts before mine about safety. What's up lately? Feeling quite aprehensive. Thanks guys for replying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrainDriver Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 ^what country u from? anyway, i'm guessing u are 17/18 years old? umm perth compared to sydney and melbourne is uhhh kinda like country town the chinatown here isn't like chinatown in other places, nothing to do there. umm if u want to go see some nature, go visit king's park i suppose or the beach, but thats about it. oh yeh, avoid walking the streets at night if possible and avoid taking the bus too late, do not take the train either. oh and around the uni, avoid walking by urself near the bush and stuff, there have been incidents of rapes b4.

Is there an asian grocery mart around? XD where abouts are u staying? anyway if ur near murdoch uni, theres garden city for the mall, if not the city. um asian groceries, theres one not too far from murdoch uni also. go to either chan brothers or yee seng. the malls here are very very bad compared to singapore, plus a lot of stock is leftover junk from overseas in terms of clothes that is.

suj860703 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 there's a lot! don't worry! there's also seoul mart in myaree... and they sell asian stuff in coles too... but of course the cheapest stuff is in the chinese stores i think.. but i like to buy the ramyun from seoul mart because sometimes they have hotter varieties. there's asians EVERYWHERE so i don't think it will be that different hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrainDriver Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 yeh, theres quite a few asian grocery stores, but the most popular has to be chan bros. couldn't have a better location in myaree, as winthrop is right next to it.

Guest z80 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Chan bro's is down south with most of the Chinese. Us people slightly north of perth don't have a chan bros, but I make the trek down there every month or so to get some Yong Tau Foo. Glad we don't live too far up North.

Guest z80 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I do some times, but it's hard to get a car park there. I go to Emma's when I take the bus home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sixth. Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 ^ umm not really. we don't get any credit for it or anything, but it helps to learn how to deal with cattle, since we have to work with them later on. it's pretty fun but by the end of the day, we all stink of poop.
