Moving stress. It was easier moving to Korea from Brisbane than it is to move to Melbourne. I remember when I first moved to Korea, I emailed the manager of a 고시원 to ask if it would be okay to pay the room deposit when I got to Korea because it was going to cost AUD80 in bank fees to send an exact amount of KRW and I... didn't want to pay it! And the manager said that was okay, and we arranged a day after I arrived in Korea to send the deposit.

But moving to Melbourne is a rigmarole. Most of the problem is that I'm trying to sort things out too early. Only a few places are yet available on the dates that I want at the price that I want.

Weird people message me. Caveat: the following qualities are not faults on their own, but added together, they cast a particular mould. A forty-five year old gentleman messaged me, who does not live in Melbourne, who has been unemployed for two years, who has decided to go back to study, who did not have a profile, who is a smoker, who is waiting to get his license back, who has no rental history, and who wants to move in with two to three other 'females.'

Maybe I should live near a train station? I am looking at the suburbs near the Queen Victoria markets because 'a little north of the city' is as far out as I have travelled in Melbourne (excluding Tullamarine). I keep seeing references to the Carlton Baths, and I don't know what that is, but I hope it's a sauna.

I can't really understand Melbourne's myki system.

I thought, in order of descending inclination, either move into a sharehouse, or live on my own, or apply for a sharehouse and find flatmates.
