Got my needles today $404 all up though I may get some back via Medicare/Health Fund.
Yellowfever
Hep A/Typhoid
Tetnaus update
Measles update
Word of advice for those getting them don't get them when you have plans lined up.
Possible fever like side effects for up to a week. Shouldn't lay you off work or anything but just enough to irritate you and make you feel uncomfortable
Only found out when I got there. Going to Melbourne Friday and then have a huge week at work next week. FARK
I wouldn't worry about the side effects. We got the shots for our Peru trip in 2012 and didn't get a single symptom. You should be fine.Quote:

Picked myself up Rio to Sao Paulo Return for a day trip for a 2nd Rd game for $130 on Avianca. Just got to get a ticket NOW
Also got a flight Rio to Sao Paulo the day after the Rio Quarter Final to meet up with my flight out of Brazil that day for $60.
Other options were prohibitive.
Happy as shit as it will give me an extra couple of days in/around Rio de Janiero if I can actually find some decent reasonably priced accommodation. Some of the places on the Net look worse than dog kennels for $200-$300 a night.
Just can't bring myself to stay in one of those Love Hotels though!!!
Anyone received notification of tickets yet?
I've got a pending charge on my account that I think is for France v Honduras.
PMA ticket ballot won't be for another week or two apparently, so I'm hoping for some luck there
Just checked on internet banking. Seem to be missing about $800 from one account. My bank is pretty tardy with the summary as it usually says the balance has been reduced to ...... and then at a later date this transaction will appear.Quote:

If its Visa, you should be able to call the bank up and if the charge is pending they'll be able to tell you what it is for. Assuming mastercard has a similar thing.Quote:

:yay:
Told the bird I am ****ing stoked bout this yet for some reason she couldn't quite grasp my enthusiasm
Assume this is for PMA as it would make sense to do the PMA first and then if there are any left over to put the tickets into the Random Draw worldwide for the general 2nd rd ballot.
Be about right too 3 tickets Cat1 for Socceroos $654 Aussie dollars
What else did you apply for? I was under the impression PMA doesn't start yet. The other ballot for single tickets has definitely started, so unless you applied for Australian tickets through that it is most likely something else
I did the 3 x Aussie games in the PMA Cat 1 and happy to accept either Cat 2 or Cat 3Quote:

Honduras V Ecuador FIFA 2nd Rd Cat 1 and happy to accept either Cat 2 or Cat 3
Rd 16 Brasilia FIFA 2nd Rd Cat 1 and happy to accept either Cat 2 or Cat 3
Rd 16 Sao Paulo FIFA 2nd Rd Cat 1 and happy to accept either Cat 2 or Cat 3
QF Rio De Janiero FIFA 2nd Rd Cat 1 and happy to accept either Cat 2 or Cat 3
My FIFA Bill comes to something like US $1460 if I get all 7 and Cat 1
Nice one!
I thought they cancelled one if you applied through FIFA and PMA, obviously not.
I only did 3 ppl x Australian PMA (Cat 1 or lower, all 3 games) and 3 ppl x Cat 3 France v Honduras, which was $270 US which converted to about $305 AUD (assuming thats what the charge is). Conversion rate of about 0.885
That might help you narrow down what you've been successful in! Good luck!
I have absolutely no idea what I have been successful in when you factor in I have applied for Cat 1 and are willing to accept Cat 2-3 I could have any combo.
I know speculation of FIFA is stupid as they dance to the beat of their own drum but I would have thought the most logical thing would be to do the PMA's first that way any tix not applied to by the NT fans could then be allocated back to the 2nd Rd draw to give the worldwide fans a better chance of securing them and stop the need for as many ballots. This would also be of use as it would limit the amount of tickets going into the first come first served thing coming up and actually see more tickets end up in the hands of people who really want them.
But FIFA and logic don't go together do they???
Pretty much sums it upQuote:

Dear MFKS
Your Ticket Request ID is PILE OF NUMBERS
Thank you for applying for 2014 FIFA World Cup™ Tickets!
Your Application, as reflected below, has been received by the FIFA Ticketing Centre (the “FTC”).Those Tickets indicated with status “pending” will be entered into the Random Selection Draw process. You will be notified of the status of your Application approximately 5 days after the ticket allocation has taken place.
Product Category Quantity Status Price (incl applicable taxes within Brazil) Currency Payment Method Price Type
Match 4 CAT1 1 Pending 175.00 USD CDC Regular
Match 20 CAT1 1 Pending 175.00 USD CDC Regular
Match 35 CAT1 1 Pending 175.00 USD CDC Regular
Total: 525
What concerns me though is that US $525 doesn't equal anywhere near $654 so it may be the FIFA BALLOT
By the time the bank adds their fee for changing a currency over you will probably lose close to 8% on top of the 10% difference in the currency rate which would make $US525 look very close to $AUD654.
Banks are bastards
