A Place To Stay

Taking out of her own PhD time, my wife have been looking in the internet searching for a rented room for me to stay when I go back to Adelaide in mid- February 2005. This followed after not- so- good experience that we encountered with a reputable Lodge that caters primarily for Malaysian students. The owner had claimed that I wouldn't want to put up a holding fee in order for him to reserve me a room!

This turnaround statement was indeed absurd, as just four months ago I'd personally phoned him...booking for a room... and he was so nice and welcomed. Well...as the Malay proverb says, rambut sama hitam, hati lain-lain. Dulu lain...sekarang lain.

Any way... luckilly, I got a deal with an advertiser, a sharehouse in Parafield Gardens about 4km from Mawson Lakes campus. A $55/wk room (3-bedroom sharehouse with 3 others.)
Got this deal 0n 15 Jan. House aside, now I need to find a bicycle to ride to campus!
