Australia

'Hello everyone. How are you? I'm fine, thank you.'
This is what I was before I came to Australia. Now I've learnt so many expressions through my experiences which need more than description to be explained. For today's post,  I will try to show them as much as possible.

My stay here started with a run of bad luck. For instance, on the third week, my host family told me to move out suddenly. Out of blue. Unexpectedly. So next day, I left that house. Although they said it was not my fault, it was so stressful and frustrating enough for me to be depressed. But actually I recognised that was also a good experience when I talked  with a friend of mine who said 'You cannot make it happen unless it happens. You cannot experience even if you want.' Then I started to make them personal anecdotes like 'Hey, when I came here I had such a stupid xxxx... it sounds so funny, doesn't it!? '. I'm kinda optimist now. I guess.

Okay, let's keep away from bad luck.
 I've met so many people who have different backgrounds, which changed my way of thinking. Anywhere I go, there is someone who has his or her own story in this country. When I travelled to Darwin I met a woman who was travelling around the world while she has her own business. Or, in Cairns, I met a guy from Switzerland who has very unique personality. He said his religion is himself. He believes what he says and he follows his instinct. Being a multi-cultural country, there are many people from other country like them and I've always been inspired. Also in Brisbane, where I've spent most of the time, I made so many friends. And some of them enlightened my future course. What I've found is that I'm too young to be a part of society. In other word, I need to study more and see the world. Even though my English has got better than it used to be, it still needs to be polished. Even though I studied a lot at uni, I have too many things that I don' know. Now I'm very happy that I figured it out.

What I just mentioned was a bit serious, so I want to show some photos. As you can see, this country has magnificent nature. I've visited many beaches in Australia but each one has its own beauty, like people here. I still have another month and I'm really excited to see, to touch, to feel Australia.

Gold Coast
All right, so that's just a part of my experience here and I need 100 hours or even more to talk about it, which means I have so much feeling. Anyway I love this country and I think this is the best choice I've ever made in my life.
