Sydney is expensive. Really expensive. Like 6 USD$ for a glass of wine expensive – and it’s not even a good wine. The salaries are accordingly, true, but also the rent is according to the salaries, so basically you end up where you started: with not enough bucks left to go for a social outing with your mates every couple days – after you fed yourself and treated yourself, your significant other or both of you to a wardrobe full of

They’ll sell all their food at highly discounted rates as soon as lunchtime is over! Curry & Rice for $5 or $ 1,50 Sushi, anyone? Grab & go – and be quick, your faves might be sold out faster than you can make up your mind as to what to order!
