Printer

When I first arrived in Australia, two days before school started, I had a list of things to do immediately. Other than finding a place to live, one of the tasks on the list was to buy a printer. With all the powerpoint slides I was anticipating at University obviously a solid printer is essential. However, I still haven’t bought a printer because, we pharmacy students are lucky enough to have access to free printing and photocopying - yay. However, pharmacy students from other schools aren’t so lucky. So, Danielle and I went shopping for a printer this afternoon so that she can print off hundreds upon hundreds of powerpoint slides. It was a bit of a chore since Perth doesn’t have huge electronics stores like Futureshop or bestbuy. One of the first places we went to didn’t have what we were looking for but they sent us down the road to a competitor. The place we were sent to was just like office depot back home - exciting! They had lots of stock and decent prices so now we have a printer.

It’s very annoying going shopping for electronics in Perth just because they are unbelievably overpriced here. For example… a Playstation 3 will cost you $400 at futureshop in Canada but in Perth the exact Playstation 3 will set you back $999. The same goes for any other electronic and its just depressing. Somehow we actually got a really good deal on the printer.
