週五去逛了趟薩拉曼卡市場

這週五去逛了趟薩拉曼卡市場。果然名不虛傳,人山人海的,我來塔州幾個月都沒看到過這麼多人。-_-!
難得能在霍巴特見到這麼多人
手工製作的擀麵杖,很貴!小小的一根就要14刀
塔州最具有代表性的動物---塔州惡魔
掛有海盜旗的船

週五這次薩拉曼卡之行的亮點是看到了一條超級大的狗,從來沒見過這麼大的狗,站起來都比我高很多了(我180+CM)!

證明我來過薩拉曼卡市場啦

風音的家乡---上海宝山将建中国最NBA球馆,投资4.5个亿2010年竣工

                    预计明年10月投入运行的中国最先进NBA球馆


两年前,宝山区体育局局长刘鸣说,要打造出一座名副其实的篮球城,一座拥有世界顶尖水平的球馆是首要条件。他们计划建造一座以篮球比赛为主的综合性体育馆,不是国内最贵、最豪华的,但绝对有信心是国内最专业、最符合比赛要求的。两年后,这个目标终于要实现了。5月底,宝山国际男子篮球挑战赛在宝宸体育馆举行后,宝宸体育馆也将完成12年的历史使命,2010年底,一座全新的体育馆将亮相宝山体育中心,用刘鸣局长的话说,“NBA球员过来打球,什么都不用带,只要带着行李就行。”

   

NBA无偿提供建馆标准,投资4.5个亿 15个月建成

2006年5月,NBA联盟得知宝山区的建馆意向后,特意邀请宝山区政府组团访问NBA总部,刘鸣局长说他们去了纽约的麦迪逊花园广场、迈阿密美航球馆, 同国内体育馆重视外观设计不同,这些著名体育馆的外观非常朴素,但是走进去一看,却令人非常震撼。具体到每条过道有多宽,每个座位有多宽,才能让每个人走得舒服、坐得舒服,NBA都有标准可循。一个月后,NBA联盟就进行了回访,在回访时他们带来了全套的NBA建馆标准,“他们把全套的NBA建馆标准给了我们,没有收取任何的费用,是无偿的,这给我们建馆提供很大的帮助。”据悉,NBA只是提出在球馆建设的过程中要有合作,而具体的合作事项,则要具体再谈。

这个全新的篮球馆由宝山区政府全额投资4.5个亿,前期的设计工作已经基本完成,7月中旬开工,建设周期是15个月,明年10月份新的专业篮球馆将诞生。“这个新篮球馆由欧洲的贝利建筑事务所设计,完全参照国际篮联标准建设,同时参考NBA的技术标准,NBA可以无障碍地在这里举行比赛,就是NBA球员来打球,他只要提着行李包过来,不用带地板,不用带音响,什么不用带就能过来。”

    

比五棵松更“NBA”,每周两到三场比赛或演出

去年,NBA总裁大卫·斯特恩与AEG公司联合宣布,将在中国涉及或者运作12个体育场馆,场馆开建的时间以及地点并未披露。刘鸣局长说据他们了解,NBA想在中国采用收购的办法达到12个场馆的目标,但是想要达到这个目标有一定的难度。“五棵松是全国最高级的一个篮球馆,但是跟NBA的运作要求相去甚远,按照市场运作要求,不光是场内地板、灯光、音响等满足NBA比赛要求就可以了,周边的商业氛围也是有要求的,因为NBA是一种秀、表演,除了观众看比赛,还有大量的互动活动,这在五棵松里面是办不到的,五棵松的建造主要目的是服务于奥运会,最初意向是打造成NBA的专业馆,但是最后一切服从奥运,竞赛考虑过多,赛后利用考虑得少了一些。广州国际体育演艺中心也是服务亚运会。”

据悉,AEG公司打算投资5个亿增加五棵松的商业内容,与五棵松相比,宝山体育中心更加“NBA”,主要有两大功能:以篮球为主的大部分的室内比赛;以演唱会为主的音乐会,每年大概有100到150场以上的比赛和演出,平均计算,每个星期有两到三场比赛或者演出。

不过,新的篮球馆也并非完全照搬NBA模式,而是照顾到国内的实际情况,“馆内的座位可以达到一万个,不像美国那样一般两万个,这是我们对国内球市的判断,最近一二十年不可能达到美国那样的程度,从使用效率、球场氛围、专业性、使用效率来看,一万人的馆是最适合的,尤其对上海地区来说,上海地区是市场多元化,篮球有一定市场,篮球可以搞大一些,但是也不宜过大。”刘鸣局长说道。

=============================

上海宝山,作为風音生活了20多年的家乡,有着无可取代的感情。虽然这几年風音远在9000公里之外的霍巴特,但对家乡的思念是无时无刻存在着的。当風音看到新闻,宝山将建成一座远超北京五棵松篮球馆的篮球馆时,心理不免激动。好在这座新球馆将在2010年年底竣工,估计到时風音也该毕业回国了,正好能赶上新球馆开馆仪式也说不定。

今天買車了

今天終於把車買好了。
Ford的Festiva系列,白色小車,1997年款式,11W多公里里程,自動擋,1.5L排量。成交價3500澳元,我覺得還行。基本符合當地的車市價格。

由於對車子懂得很少,所以今天還是叫上3個朋友來幫忙看車的,經過他們的仔細檢查和試車,基本認可這部車,覺得我可以買下。多謝我的朋友今天幫我了大忙了!再加上賣主開得價格比較合理,所以就痛快的決定下來,購買這部車子。

週五就能拿到車子了,之後得辦理過戶手續和對車子做個大檢查。估計會花掉500刀以上的價格。之後還得購買保險。總之,車子+註冊費+檢測費+保險大概會話5000澳元左右。基本在我的預算範圍裏面。

簡單的拍了幾張車子的照片。(最後1張是網路上找來的照片)

2009-2010年度澳洲将再削减技术移民配额7000个

2009-2010年度的技术移民配额为10万8千。加上今年三月已经砍掉的18000总共减掉了25000,总体比去年财政年度减少20%。

Skilled migration intake to be slashed
May 9, 2009 - 7:14AM 

Australia's skilled migration intake will be slashed for the second time in the past two months.

Next week's federal budget will cut the general skilled migration intake for the next financial year by about 7,000 people to 108,000, Fairfax reports.

The government's move follows a decision taken in March to shed 18,500 places.

The total reduction of 25,000 places will constitute a 20 per cent cut to the program.

The cuts are the deepest since the previous recession, Fairfax reports.

The move is expected to go ahead despite figures released this week which show the unemployment rate fell from 5.7 per cent to 5.4 per cent, or 27,000 jobs, last month.

2009年澳洲各州2種州政府擔保介紹(截止到09年5月4日)

最近因為作業做完,所以有空為大家整理下09年澳洲最新的2種州政府擔保介紹。因為政策變化很快,所以只是截止到09年5月4日的政策,若以後政策發生較大變化還會推出新的帖子。

注:
1. 以下信息均是從各州政府網路上截取的。保證是最新,最權威的消息。當然,我也從來不亂放假消息。
2. 本篇適用於和我一樣的普通留學生。牛人或者有關係能搞定工作的人就不用看了,趕緊申請雇主擔保移民吧。
3. 州政府擔保分2種。886(永簽)和487(臨簽),100分通過,比885移民要少20分。前者是直接拿PR;後者要在3年內至少在邊遠地區生活2年,工作1年才能拿PR,但任何工作都行,只要每週有35小時(全職;或者2個以上兼職;或者自雇),並且上稅。
4. 首先你的職業要在申請州的擔保清單上,如果不在的話不用多想了,肯定不可能。要先申請州政府擔保,獲批后再向移民局申請相應的簽證。只有拿到移民局批准的簽證才算申請成功。光有州政府擔保是不行的。
5. 本篇僅僅針對在澳留學生ONSHORE申請。 OFFSHORE申請不考慮在內。
6. 州政府擔保在最新的移民政策下是LEVEL 2等級,比雇主擔保低一級,比CSL清單885申請高一級。
7. 州政府擔保主要適用於非60分專業學生,或者未滿120分無法申請885移民的同學。對於60分學生,或者已經滿120分的學生,可以作為一條保底的方法。
8. 州政府擔保可以跨州申請的。比如:塔州畢業的同學可以申請其他州的州政府擔保。
9. 州政府擔保申請的最基本條件(條件不符合就不用網下看了,肯定沒戲):45周歲以下;通過提名職業評估(60分或者50分);有合格的雅思成績(具體要求看州政府情況而定;A類與G類都是可以的,有效期2年);滿足2年學習政策;申請前打分已經有100分(很容易,基本是人都能達到)。=============================
一:新南威爾士州886類:(原文:http://www.business.nsw.gov.au/m ... ndent_migration.asp
引用:
Overseas students studying in Australian tertiary institutions should consider the NSW regional migration program as they are unlikely to have the work experience required for Skilled Sponsored visa except in some occupations in the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology sector.
沒工作經驗不能申請,也就不用多想了。少數幾個職業不用工作經驗,但這些專業很少人學習。如果有哪位就是學以上專業的可以考慮申請。

487類:(原文:http://www.business.nsw.gov.au/migration/skilled_migration.asp)新南威爾士州的邊遠地區就以下幾個。每個地區都有擔保清單,請自行去查看職業是不是在上面。
Australian Capital Region
Northern Inland Region
Riverina
Orana
Central West Hunter
Murray

只有少數幾個專業在886擔保清單上,此外,還要有JOB OFFER。基本普通學生都不可能達得到。

487類:(原文:http://www.liveinvictoria.vic.go ... and487-15012009.pdf)擔保清單很長,不一一列出了。不過大部份人學的會計和IT不在上面。後面我不用說了吧。-_-!即使有的同學的職業在這裏面,請看下麵:

要有至少3個月工作經驗,不然一樣沒戲。

487類:首都地區沒有487類。


五:西澳
引用:

Graduate students from other states may apply for State sponsorship once they have gained a minimum of 12 months recent work experience in Western Australia, in a skilled occupation.

必須拿到和提名職業相同或密切相關的塔州雇主出示簽署的全職工作合同;同時必須在申請塔州886政府擔保前已經有這個工作的至少3個月的工作經驗(必須是在畢業后累計的,因為只有畢業后才算QUALIFICATION)。注意:因為這個條件限制,所以必須先申請485簽證后,達到這個要求才能申請886擔保。(真不知道這幫鬼佬是怎麼想出這種噁心而又白癡的政策。=,=!!)

必須要至少有2萬刀資產證明,每添加一個家庭成員要多加1萬刀資產證明。同時,要能證明和塔州有聯繫。(其實非常容易,因為在這學習2年就能充分證明了)注意:886類並沒有列出一份擔保清單,因此可以認為只要是SOL(1121i表)清單上的職業都可以。

487類:
引用:
be a new graduate of a Tasmanian educational institution
接受塔州畢業的學生。
引用:
be a new graduate of an Australian educational institution with a skilled, full time job offer from a Tasmanian employer

請不要提供上述清單以外的材料。如有需要其他材料,塔州移民局會同你聯繫的。州政府擔保評估不收費。評估一般需要4周時間。塔州最新的政策同之前的區別:1. 886類開始不接受州外的申請人。同時過去只要JOB OFFER就行了,現在必須還要工作3個月。2. 487類過去州外的申請人只要有3個月的合同就行了。現在必須是正式的JOB OFFER。487類新增英語減免的條款。=============================

然對大部份同學而言,州政府擔保只是第二選擇。但多一條選擇總歸是好的。隨著澳洲經濟不景氣,這條路也是越來越難了,只希望澳洲經濟能儘快復蘇,或許會有轉機。

今天運氣好好噢^_^

話說今天運氣好好,早上出門去超市採購食品,走在路上看到一個亮晶晶的東西,仔細一看是1刀的硬幣。於是就順手牽羊了。^_^

在超市買好東西,原本應該是6.3刀的牛肉,COLES的收銀員居然打成了0.63刀!我原先也沒發覺,後來回到家后覺得今天購物怎麼這麼便宜,才仔細看了下收據。果然,6.3刀的牛肉她居然打成了0.63刀。嘿嘿,賺到了小便宜。^_^
