My name is Ying and I come from Shanghai, China. I have been Australia just one month. In the first week, I went to IKEA and shopping mall to bought some furniture like as bed, sofa, table, desk, washer and TV set etc. I never dream of I should go to IKEA five times a week. In the early of the second week, I connected power and gas company to pay the deposit to ensure they will not cut it. Also contacted network company to ask them to set up the network. But it was a long waiting time so that I had to set up wireless first. You know no network means nothing to do. Since some of application through Internet. All of them are difference custom for rent between Australia and China. In China, before you sign the agreement for rent a apartment, the landlord will prepare the furniture, electronics machine etc.. And also make sure the telephone and network is connected. But in Australia, all of the apartment for rent are empty so that you move into it before you need buy everything that you need for live.
