Recently, the post of an Australian international student throwing a new roommate on the Internet triggered the Australian Chinese circle of view and hot discussion.
Taking advantage of Easter holiday, the protagonist lucy (pseudonym) moved home once and met her new roommate, lory (. Lory is also a Chinese girl who has just arrived in Australia. Lucy thought it would be a happy trip to meet fellow villagers, but things went beyond lucy's imagination.
Although the new roommate Lory is only two years younger than lucy, she doesn't know how to get a cell phone card, a bank card, a tax number, or even come for so many days. She hasn't even eaten a meal. She lives on bread and milk every day. In Lory's own words, she was deeply desperate for Australia.
In the eyes of Lory:
1. "Australia is so village that it is comparable to the county seat of China."
Lory has almost no knowledge of Australia. She does not know that there are several states in Australia, and that the state of life of the Aussie is not known. It is only known that it is a "Aucun".
Lucy and Lory rent around Melbourne, where only Australian universities have campuses. Lucy has adapted to life in other remote areas, but in lory's view, Australia without takeout and playground is boring.
To be sure, life in Australia is indeed a bit boring compared to the big cities in China.
But is it not the opportunity to settle down and meditate away from the hustle and bustle? Moreover, the environment here is also very suitable for family life, less big cities, less social interaction, Australia's comfort so that parents have more time to accompany their children.
2. "Australian food is too bad to eat."
Because she did not want to cook and hated Australian food, lory has not eaten since she came to Australia. She lives on bread and milk every day. She complains to lucy that even bread in Australia is hard to eat.
In fact, as a Chinese stomach, just arrived in Australia and do not know where there is delicious Chinese food, the day will really be more difficult. Especially in Australia, there are not many delicious snacks.
But in fact, it's something that can be solved by the action. We choose to study abroad. One of the same important thing as studying is to learn to stand up, jump out of the comfortable circle of parents to realize self-growth.
From the lucy share, also gave us a piece of advice: if you know nothing about Australia, do not come to Australia yet!
Australia has the natural advantages of the natural environment, but also has many defects.
For instance, as Lory said, there are many big cities in Australia, and there are still a very simple style, and there are very few entertainment activities in Australia.
Australia has a great blue sky and sunshine, but the sun's sun not only has us living on this land, but also all kinds of poisonous animals.
Australia is sparsely populated, there is no crowded subway (train), no city impetuous, but the vast population means that the Internet is difficult to cover, the speed of the network is very moving.
However, there are many good aspects of living in Australia, such as eating food from all over the world anytime, anywhere, green water, blue sky and white clouds. From then on, say goodbye to haze, the car will wait for pedestrians to cross the road before starting.
So if you want to come, you should first make sure that you can accept all this. After all, people are always different, some people prefer lively, some people like to be quiet, in addition, studying abroad is a decision that makes people grow up. If you refuse to grow up, how can you live in a foreign country?
To borrow a quote from Roman Roland: there is only one heroism in the world, that is, I still love life after I see the nature of life.
