How to survive Perth with only $400

Friday, April 28, 2017



Malaysians love Australia. Ever since I was small, people talk about Australia and its kangaroos and koalas all the time. Back in 2015, I started a job that didn't allow me to take a long break.  Often, I would imagine myself strolling along the streets in Perth. It's what kept me motivated to save up and plan this trip. A trip to Perth was like a gift for myself after I quit the job in July. Even with a tight budget, I was grateful I was still able to enjoy Perth.

Until this moment, I couldn't believe that we were actually able to restrain ourselves from shopping since there were a lot of things that were way cheaper than in our home country.

Maybe some people wonder about our flight tickets and accommodation. Below are the details for 3 persons.

Return flight : MYR 2,051.52
Mountway Holiday Apartment : MYR1465.67
Visa ETA : MYR 60 with Akasia Travel and Tours

Now I can safely say with only $400 in my pocket, I survived Perth.




It's not impossible to visit Perth with a limited budget. All you need are careful planning and research. Good luck.

Perth, Australia : Tips for Moslems

Monday, April 17, 2017


Below are some tips for my Moslems friends who wish to visit Perth.

1. Halal Food

The first question my mom asked when I suggested for us to visit Perth was whether it's easy to find halal food. 
The answer is YES! It's very easy to find halal food as there are so many f&b outlets owned by Muslims around the city. It may be a bit harder the further you're from the city but worry not, with websites such as HALAL SQUARE , ZABIHAH and AUSSIEMUSLIMS now you don't have to order seafoods anymore.

At the supermarket, there are so many products with Halal logo certified by various bodies such as Australia Muslims Authority, JAKIM (Malaysia), The Islamic Committee of Thailand (Thailand) and Indonesia.

2. Prayer halls

A shared prayer hall can be found near car rental kiosk at the Perth Airport. Most of the tourist attractions however do not provide prayer hall. 
At Watertown Brand Outlet, a prayer room is available at the information office, if I'm not mistaken. When there is no prayer room available,we would perform our obligations anywhere we ought suitable and clean. 

For example, we prayed in the middle of the dessert, under a tree at Lancelin Sand Dunes.
At Fremantle Round House, ablution was performed with sea water behind the Round House and we found a secluded area to perform our prayer. Don't forget to download apps such as Muslim Pro that provides information about prayer times and qibla. (Available for Android and iPhone).

3. Islamophobia

I didn't experience any discrimination by the locals nor tourists despite of my headscarf. I believe that Aussies are very open-minded that they don't allow such a negative influence to penetrate their mind. Hehe.


I hope the tips on how a Muslim travels in Perth would be helpful to you.
