Rent and electricity increase by MarkinNam

Hi all, is anyone seeing huge increases in these areas? Eg; $550/ month to $750/ month AUD.

@Phap tri Sorry to hear about your implants failing. Are you in VN? You might want to checkout Smile Care Dental in Da Nang. They will be honest about what is needed and she does not upsell. Read More
