New locations...

After having invested a considerable amount of time into looking at suburbs, realestate agents, and possible apartments, it's been done! The impossible....a perfect location close to all of the best concert venues and party places with an affordable rent and furniture has been been viewed:) The only downside is the amazingly stupid law in Queensland saying that you can't just say you'll take the apartment you're viewing - you have to apply to get it - and this means you have to supply all kinds of information. They want to know everything from your income details to how long you were with your previous land lord, not to mention the reason for why you left. In addition you must supply at least three types of photo id, your three latest payslips and bank statement...craziness! On top of this they have their own records for tenants where they'll look you up to see if you're the breaking-furniture-type and if you paid your rent on time.
Obviously, this represents a genuine problem for me as all of my information in this matter is in Norwegian, but the real estate-agent said I'd be fine...hopefully this is an indication that we'll get our perfect apartment since no one else had put forth an application at the time we handed in ours! If not, we're gonna have to sleep on the street...;)
Anyhoo, finger's crossed for tomorrow afternoon and the phone call I'm waiting to receive! If not, all I've gotten out of these past few days is some awesome pictures of the city taken from the cliffs at Kangaroo Point...I'll post some of them later, when I have the patience to argue with the prostitute attentionspan of blogspot. And if it all goes well I'll be doing so from my home for the next 5 months:)
