My Life Down Under (Australia) January 26, 2007
Posted by curioustan in Travel.trackback
January 26 is a very important day in Australia. In some way, Im happy to celebrate with the rest of the Australians for this special event despite the fact that Im not an Australian but somehow I had the opportunity to experience the Australian way during my research program at the University of Queensland, Brisbane.
Living for two years in Down Under was a rewarding and memorable experience. I did so many things as a student and an ordinary person in a different environment, quite different from my home country. Having the opportunity to travel around Australia, I visited my friends in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. And within Queensland, I had the chance to visit interesting places in Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba. I was also able to work in a big shopping mall as a cleaner or ‘dakilang janitor’ and it was really a rare opportunity to work at that level of profession, and not to forget my extra job as a ‘newspaper/leaflets’ delivery man. And because of my savings from these jobs, I had the chance to travel in the UK, Sweden and Finland!
