Life is complicated.
Visa’s are complicated, loosing passports are even more complicated. What do you do when your partner looses his passport and they require photo ID and $300 to replace it? Particularly when he doesn’t have any other ID? It’s a quandary, I know.

So Australia is expensive.
I spent a lot of time defending the cost of living in Australia when I was overseas, never having lived anywhere else and having a sudden amnesia as to how much I opened my wallet on a day-to-day basis for the first 26 years of my life.
