The Old and new collide

Eventually everything seems to be falling into place. I am surprised and overwhelmed by it all because the application process and what followed thereafter wasn't easy. There was a lot of chaos and difficulties that followed and nothing seemed to be going my way. By the end of it I decided to play my part and leave the rest in God's hands and like always he came to my rescue. I have the visa done and today I got the tickets for the 18th of January and that means that on the 20th of January God willing I'd be in Sydney. But now what seemed like The End seems to be only the beginning!! There is a lot that needs to be put in place before I leave. Other than the figuring out the logistics I also have to make the most of my days with the family. If possible I need to get my dad to accept my sister's apology and get them talking!!! That would be quite and uphill task. My dad is one of the most stubborn person on the planet and he hadn't forgiven my sister for marrying someone he didn't approve of. Nowadays he is all the more melodramatic and touchy seeing me leave them and move to a country far away and down under!!! Let's see what is in store with regards to that.
The next thing on the agenda is trying to find an accommodation near the campus i.e in the vicinity of North Ryde which the institute's website says would be Ryde, West Ryde , Denistone, Marsfield, Meadowbank, Putney. Any help with regards to it would be hugely appreciated.
With most things in my life falling in place it's no wonder that love life seems to be on a upswing too. The good part is that he is kinda nice and fits the bill with regards to my type but the sad part is that we know that it cannot be long term as of now with me moving to a new place and he going back to where he came from. It's more like a holiday romance and I have had one of those before, burnt my fingers in the process and learned my lesson. It's strange how I find myself in the same situations that I was stuck in with Mr Oz in Bali. But this person though much younger deals with every situation in a much more mature and sensible manner. I am enjoying each day as it comes without expecting much and trying to keep my emotions under check...

I wish I could help with accommodation tips but I don't know that area at all. It's a big and widely spread out city.
Maybe we'll catch up some time next year.
Thanks Denys! If I am not able to find any accommodation in that area I may look for an alternative short term accommodation elsewhere and then you could give me some much needed tips.
I too hope we catch up sometime next year ;-)
well there is quite a big Indian and Sri Lankan community in those suburbs. They are definitely str8-ville suburbs but there is Aarows a gay sauna in nearby Rydalmere.
There must be community groups you can locate ... ask at the Institue they probably have handled this sort of query before. Good luck

Thanks Tom!! I am not necessarily looking to live with someone from my community.
I did place an ad on an online classified. Let's hope it works out otherwise I'd get in touch with the institute.
