Dual Currency Investment

This is a high risk investment that involved exchange rate fluctuation.

It is a short term deposit that involved two currencies. One is base currency and another one is alternate currency. You place the fund on base currency at agreed interest rate for a period of two weeks or one month and expect the base currency shall not be converted at agreed strike price to alternate currency on maturity. High interest rate is the main reason to attract people to invest in this deposit but your money may get converted to alternate currency.

For example, you may put in S$50,000 as base currency (Singapore dollar) and agreed a strike price of S$/A$ 1.30 (converted to Australia dollar at exchange rate of 1.30) and interest rate of 4% for one month period (this means the base currency(S$)shall be converted to alternate currency(A$) with interest earned if the strike price of 1.30 is hit).

In Singapore, most of the banks offer this investment. you may consult your banker to understand the operation of such an investment if you are interested in this type of deposit.

Food

We have located three eating places in Australia. The price is reasonable and fit into Singaporean's taste. It is similar to those small eating house in Singapore. These three eating places are not for people hunting for good foods at good restaurant.



Saigon Kitchen - at Elizabeth Street in Hobart. It is owned by a Singapore family. We spent about A$50/A$60 for 4 dishes (4 persons). You may search through Google for 'Saigon Kitchen in Hobart' to get the details of the kitchen.

AngKor Cafe Restaurant - at Murray Street between Pier Street and Barracks Street in Perth. We spent about A$30 for 3 dishes( 2 persons). It is very easy to find the place.

Ironside Family Chinese Restaurant - at Hawken Drive, St Lucia, Brisbane. 3 dishes cost you about $50 in average( 3 persons). You may have to get students from University of Queensland for location assistance.

Cove

Sanctuary Cove - Gold Coast Queensland

This is a holiday resort. The place is not far away from Gold Coast. The restaurant's seafood is good. If you are interested, you may visit the website - sanctuarycove- to locate the place.
