50 Cent a copy

Saturday: Today was mainly spent on sorting out my C.V, Australian style, I have been advised that if applying for a job in Australia C.V's should be very short and direct mainly bullet points. Kerry, the lady who was giving me all this information also explained that us Brits like to write a lot on our C.V's and it's the complete opposite for here.
Ramtin and I also tried to look for a printer shop where it doesn’t charge 50cent a copy or print, it's very steep compared to what we are used to back home, I can photocopy for as little as 5pence but I cant really complaint it needed to be done. Luckily we managed to find a small internet cafe in the middle of China town which only charged 25cents per copy. Hurrahhhhhh
I have noticed that I have become very money conscious, I don’t know whether that's due to being unemployed or being in a city which is full of backpackers all looking for the cheapest deals.
For tonight’s dinner we decided to test our budgeting skills, I don't think we did so well by spending $10 in the supermarket. The food above shows what we purchased. Ramtin cooked and it was very simple but a delicious dinner.
Hopefully we can try and do the same thing for half the cost next time.
Pictures above show what I came across today, the last picture shows my love towards bread and how it will be my best friend for the next few months.
