    Hi laxmi,congradulations for your moving to Melbourne feb2013.when you pack up things,first give preference for your cooking utensils.here we can not get much like what we use in India for example thava to make chappathi.here in Indian shops we can get all type of cooking things like rice,dhals,masala powders everything.they also have cooking utensils,but it is very costlier than India.when I came here,I brought mixer grinder from India.dont bring masala powders from India.because of the immigration regulations,sometimes they take it out and put it in the rubbish bin.i have heard many people experienced this.me too.so,don't waste your baggage allowance by bringing those things and lose it in the airport.

    Hi laxmi,the most important thing you need to remember after landing is,don't bring milk related things like milk sweets,herbs,fruit related snacks like banana chips.if you want to know about anything about your travel.plz ask me.
    I am not going to gym.i am doing myself by reading tips in IL keep fit forum.
