Personal comments
In the beginning, it was hard for me to understand their slang. However as time goes by i get to communicate more with the locals, it was easier to catch what they are saying. Ive also learn some foreign words and terms from my friends whom i did project with.

no; depending on the time staying, it's good to open a bank account if you stay longer than half year; otherwise it's better to use a cash dispenser as less as possible with as much money as possible per drawings.

The exhange rate for aud dollar is higher than sg dollars and its more expensive to eat out in australia. Nightlife will be lesser as i seldom go clubbing.

Personal comments
The most clubs and bars are located in Northbridge. However, in my opinion, its not very good for going out. I prefer Subiaco where the crowd is a little bit older and the clubs and cafes have more style. Also popular are Leederville (Hippie Club on Tuesday) and Cottesloe (Sunday session in the Cot Hotel).
