Are there any spcific problems in Melbourne ? |
Travel Info I am planning to move to Melbourne in 2 years and everything about it sounds "perfect". No one said anything bad about it so far. Are there NO problems in Melbourne ? there should be . Let me know if you know : what kind of problems people complain about and kind of problems immigrants have Thank You. I would also appreciate if you would like to discuss some staff with me about the topic via msn: koraydervis@yahoo.com Travel Tips DOUG your full of it. Mate, to be honest no place will ever be "problem free". One main concern you may have is a housing concern. At the present there is what some would cal a housing crisis. There is a higher demand then there is in supply, so you would be competing against other prospective tenants who already have a full time job and can already show that they can pay rent. Another concern may be the weather. Melbourne is known for wet weather. If this doesn't deter you ....GREAT The city is always alive with energy, people will always be people and there will always be crime. Sydney is worse then Melbourne when it comes to crime. At least in alleyways in Melbourne you find boutique shops or a cafe not a knife in your guts. As an imigrant you may find trouble getting work or accomdation to start with but Melbourne and more so Australia is a very multicultural society. Tried Cab driving part time? or shop assistant. If you are ruthless in searching then you will find something suuited to your needs. Others Hiya, yes there are problems here Gang violence is rising as is crime. Many dark people are killled as there is alot of racisim here I would suggest moving to sydney instead, much better place to live There is crime in all cities but the crime rate in Australia is low and falling despite what the tabloids and John Laws tell you. The city with the highest level of crime in Australia is Darwin. Melbourne has warm to hot mainly dry summers but cool to cold wet winters. Sydney has mild dry winters and warm wet summers. I have lived in Melbourne at various times and have always enjoyed myself. My preference is for Sydney but four million people live in Melbourne so it must be doing something right. Check the Melbourne newspapers on line http://www.theage.com.au The Herald Sun is probably heraldsun.com.au but I don't know for sure. I never read it. mate I would go with lion tamers comments more accurate than anyone elses - I would prefer melbourne to sydney anyday. The biggest problem we have re crime here in melbourne at the moment is the "gang wars" between Sudanese and Vietnamese immigrants that live in the housing commission flats that are scattered across Melbourne. The reason behind it as far as i can see is that the Sudanese have come from a war torn country and have just been planted in society without proper integration. they are so used to being at war, that they are unable to convert to Australian life as quickly as other immigrants. Steps are being taken to combat this. The drug trade is also big in these areas, but if you are not involved then I dont see it as an issue. I have not problem walking through the city of a night by myself, nor walking home after work when its getting dark. As far as Im concerned, Melbourne is perfect, and I wouldnt live anywhere else again. 'Doug' the top answerer - GET OVER YOURSELF and STOP putting Australia down. Any city has each own 'problem'. but, no - you will not get killed walking down the street, or gunned down in some mall. Melbourne is a beautiful city although it can get four seasons in one day sometimes. Good luck on your move and enjoy Melbourne. ...i have lived in Melbourne all of my life(37years)...honestly its not much different to sydney...do you want to live in melbourne itself or its surrounding suburbs.....i dont know know what nationality you are but certain areas accomodate certain religions...just like other cities do too.....let us know what nationality you are and that might help as i dont want to offend ect.....melbourne is a gr8 city so no one has the right to bag it!!! |
