Adelaide to Sydney a new stage begins

Re: Adelaide to Sydney a new stage begins
As some of you know I arrived in Adelaide Dec 2005 on a 495 visa. It was a real struggle at first as it took me 3 months to get a job, I was starting to wonder if I ever would. Eventually I took a job I was doing 15 years ago, and was earning about half I was in the uk, after a struggle I eventually got a really good job I loved and then I got PR, so I had to decide whetherto move on as I'd always planned. Anyway, to cut to the chase I applied for a job in Sydney and got it, packed my house up, and arrived last night to stay in a budget hotel! I now have to find somewhere to live and to be honest Im feeling much more disorientated than I did when I first arrived. Why? Well I think fir a couple of reasons, first I've done it allbefore and know how tough it can be, secondly, I put a huge amount of effort into building a life in Adelaide, ok so I decided it wasn't for me long term, but I had a great job, friends, ties, this feels like starting all over again, though I know there was no other way. Well, anyway that's me! Thankfully my mum arrives in 3 weeks so that will be great. And things will get better each day!!

How's it going now Jackie? Any more settled? As you know I found it harder after the second move too, it's so hard to put so much effort in all over again even though you know you can do it. Would love to hear how you're getting on now.
We are loads more settled and will soon have our green cards which I find hilarious. Shall we do Canada next and collect permanent residencies all over the world? haha - only joking!!!!
