    Don’t bother filling your water bottle in HK airport before boarding a flight to Australia. It will be confiscated on the air bridge leading to the plane.

    Yes, my daughter had this happen. She wasn't well - I'm not sure if Dehli belly or hangover - and she was desperately thirsty. Having got onto the plane without her water, she tried to get water, and was told to wait for the meal, it would only be two hours. She tried to buy a bottle of water, but she had already spent all her paper money, and they didn't accept coins.

    I have Italian background, this just wont fly

    Though I think intimate weddings are far nicer, just try to keep the numbers down if possible

    No it's not. Go buy a moto g or a Nokia 6.1 outright online. Then get a $2 boost Sim at Woolies and you're away....

    Where do you get unlimited phone data for $30 a month? I'm new to Australia and don't want to sign a contract with Vodafone again. Someone else told me to check Boost, Amaysim and Aldi.

    You don't get unlimited data. But 20 to 30 gig is very common. Should be heaps for most things.

    Yes I'd be happy with 20GB, do I get it for $2 at woolworths? And then it costs $30 a month?

    Friend’s son engaged to Italian girl. Italian parents told them to invite as many as they wanted to the wedding, but they would pay for them. Bride’s parents paid for those they invited. Told that this was his Italians did weddings, and why they sometimes had such big weddings. Around 15 years ago.
