Colombians in Australia.... Yep, it's true there are loads! I met my Colombian boyfriend while I was living in Sydney. He was studying at Wollongong University and most of his friends at uni were also from Colombia. I'm not in Oz at the moment myself, neither is Diego but we have plenty of contacts who are still over there. Feel free to get in touch and I can give you a few e mail addresses.
PS: There's also a Colombian woman who lives in Bondi and cooks Colombian food to order. You let her know what you want, she cooks it and you go and pick it up...nice!

How about Colombians in New Zealand? I know only of one, a mate I used to work with in Auckland. Anyone know if there are many Colombians there?

When I was in Melbourne, I met heaps of Colombians but I have lost touch with some of them and the other half have returned to Colombia or gone to other countries.

I like the idea of someone in Sydney who can prepare Colombian food. I can't seem to find such place or service in Melbourne. The only place I could find selling South American products is in Fitzroy and those stuff cost me a fortune.

If there are more information, please do share while I'll get my friends to hook up with some of you here. Thanks a lot!!!!

Colombian food in Sydney I will ask my boyfriend for the details of the woman in Sydney who makes the food. You never know, she might know someone in Melbourne who does the same. There's also a few Colombian restaurants in Sydney. We used to go to one of them quite regularly and it was great. They also sell Colombian packaged and drinks like Colombiana to take away. Check back in a couple of days and I'll post the info.

Hey Dariaj Hey Daria,

I go to UOW and the majority of my friends are Colombian, as my boyfriend was Colombian. He is now back in Colombia.

Who is your boyfriend? Maybe, probably I know him. As we are all really close ...

Suerte,

m.

UOW.... My ex, 'sort of'now, not sure what's happening boyfriend is called Diego Gonzalez. He was doing a Masters in Geology and finished in 2002 I think, or maybe 2003. I met loads of UOW Colombian students through him and we're still In touch. What's your name andyour boyfriend's name? Should be meeting Diego in Paris on Saturday so will ask if he knows you. Cheers!

oprtunidades si hay Llave, que pena no haberte contestado antes...pero mira...oportunidades si hay...siempre las hay, pero depende de muchos factores, y el principal es el ser residente australiano...no es facil conseguir un buen puesto en una buena carrera en una buena empresa si no eres residente, a menos que seas excepcionalmente buen profesional, que una empresa te quiera patrocinar...ahora, para aplicar a la residencia, lo podrias hacer desde alla, o desde aca...cada una con sus dificultades y beneficios, el principal: que tu carrera sea posible validarla aca, y para todo esto, te recomendo visites www.immi.gov.au , donde veras todo lo necesario. Siempre encontraras gente que te de la mano, pero tampoco se pueden hacer las cosas que debes hacer por ti mismo, como explorate el mercado de tu trabajo, el manejo del ingles, explorar que tienes que hacer para quedarte, etc. mientras mas informacion tengas, mejor, porque he visto mucha gente llegar aca literalmente meando fuera del tiesto...

espero te sirva, y echa para adelante, todo depende de ti...
