Perth, Australia – Part 1

The adventure began weeks before we arrived on the 29th of April 2011. Selling the condo and cars….packing…..settling bills, loans and banking…..phone lines, Astro and internet to cancel, meeting friends and family.....We were misplacing documents, forgetting stuff to do……..just plain crazy!!

The company I work for really helped make the shift great. Crown relocation took great care of our stuff for the move.

With flight tickets, visas and passports in hand…..we were off!!! Flight went well….with Rohan sleeping quite a bit and Maya enjoying her own TV!!

We cleared immigration and custom with easy……having 2 cute kids goes a long way…hehehehe…

The usual “Indian” cab driver helped us get to South Perth. We decided on a quick stop to get the essentials (Was told that Perth shuts down at 5pm) like bread, milk, etc so we pulled over at a little roadside shop….just our luck…..run by Malaysians!!! When we got to the apartment, we were pleasantly surprised that the office had already stocked up for us. We had Milk, juice, butter and cheese in the fridge, bread and biscuits……Nice.

Our temp home was a fine 3 room service apartment in a really nice suburb called South Perth. Oak trees along the nice clean roads….fresh air with the view of the river…..Nice.

The next week was a fun filled exploration ride…..ferry across the river….drives around town…getting the bus to work…..shopping….just getting our feel of this new place we now call home.

We have some great friends here that really helped us get into the groove of things.

Next week….phase 2….new house and new car and our own stuff has arrived from KL!!!
