Car inspection

How's going mate?(How are you of Aussie English)

Not too bad.

Anyway I'm gradually getting used to life in Brisbane. So not too bad!!
Because I'm living in here with beautiful location,gentle share owner,loving friend.

However happiness doesn't last such a long time. Oneday I went to repair shop to inspect my car. what's call regular inspestion once a half year(semi-annual)

And it was the worst consequence as I had feared. because the repairing cost against my car was very expensive more then I thought. I was said that costs at least more than 2000 dollars!! I couldn't believe this the moment I heard it.

After all I repaired for 1400 dollars. this was minimum price for what I had to repair.
Anyway it was all done. so my car completely recovered at the moment.
That's why I'll be able to drive at ease.

 



今回はこちらの車検の話。こっちはほんま車検ださん車(一応違法なので出してるけど、その他のメンテナンスはほったらかし)多いんですわ。だから路面のそこいらにバースト跡やら道路脇みれば、なにかしらのトラブルで車が止まってたりしてます。なんせ、おれの車ももうすぐ30万キロに突入するしな。笑
 

 で、購入してから結構経つから定期点検に出しました。ところ、、、結果は後にしてこっちには都市部の近くに日本人の整備士が働いてる工場とかが結構あって、たいがい車持ってる日本人はそこらへんに行くんやけど、ぼったくられたりもするそうです。(完全に余談でした)
 

 で、おれもそうしようかなとおもたんやけど、度胸試しでこっちのローカルの業者にお願いすることにして英会話で戦ってきました。笑

 何回も行って、見積もりだしてもらっては、わからん単語調べ上げて、しかも車用語やからチンプンカンプンで、今では結構車に詳しくなってるかもしれません。
おかげでオイル漏れやら、タイヤやら色々変えたら10万以上かかっちゃったけど、後々調べると、妥当でやっぱ車傷んでたんやなと反省してます。


 やっぱこっち来たからには色々失敗しながら経験積んでいきたいし、結構この出費は痛かったけど、車は生死を分けるもんやから、渋々呑みました!!
 ほんまええ経験してますわ。まじ帰ったら話すネタなんぼでもあんぞぃ!笑


 あと、今回写真貼り付けて見ました。先日来た友のカメラの最高傑作!?です。場所はモートン島っていう世界第3位の砂でできた島(ちなみに1,2位もオーストラリア)の夕暮れです。素晴らしかった!!サンクス!友!!

 では、SEE YOU   BYE!!

I don't know what you're looking for, sorry.
Could you tell more specific, please?
You want your students to read my last blog when I used to go to England I made?

Ahhh!! understood what you mean.
However It has gone, sorry. I wiped it out a while ago. I reconized that that sentence was just my own ego trip.
I just sliped into self complacency.That's why I erased it. I gonna rewrite in near days after get enough experience about it.

Naruhodo. It looked interesting, tho. Challenging people's normal thinking. I look forward to your next blog post. Hang in, there. Freedom is not easy in this world. It is not given to us, we have to make it by ourselves.
