Canberra

Okay, so I realize that we haven't posted anything for awhile but we haven't really done anything, and also haven't taken any photos. So, if you are familiar with my(mandy's) other blog then this may be another sort of rambly blog that I am posting because I feel like I should put something on here. This week we are going to go to the zoo so we will take lots of photos there and put them up on here.
We are staying at Cameron's right now in Canberra and he has offered us to stay here as long as we want to for free (well we would buy food) and get jobs so we might take him up on that and stay for a month or 2. If we were here we would save a lot of money. A LOT. Because there isn't much to do here and we wouldn't be paying rent. The only downfall to this city is the lack of the sea. We aren't anywhere close to the ocean and we have become quite accustomed to a life near the sea, we could go there on days off though.
We were emailing places in both Melbourne and Perth trying to find somewhere to stay. The only place that emailed me back I am 99% confident is a scam. Because they are only asking 120$ a week for it and it looks like this..





....and no place looking like that is less than 500$ a month.
Also there are lines like this in the email that they sent me.

"My husband in respect who owned the flat and I also want you to know that it was due to my husband Missionary Transfer"

"So for now I am now at UK,and more also i am with the keys and documents of the flat,We try to look for an agent or friends that we can give this Keys and document before we left but could not see"

"am so sorry that i cannot call you because some problems with my ear and cant speak well"

AHHHH!!! I hate that people do this, absolutely hate it. Do they think that we are stupid. In all my experience with renting apartments I have received so many of these bullshit, "we are in africa, doing missionary work, send us the money and we will send you the keys". This is so extremely frustrating.

Anyways, that's our current situation. We are at Cameron's, sleeping on the floor, living for free, and trying to decide whether to stay here or move on to an apartment that we don't even have yet. We'll let you know how it turns out.
