The First Day In Australia
I would like to talk about my first day in Australia in this essay.
I arrived in Sydney on the 3rd of April 2013 and it was raining heavily. However, everything looked interesting to me.

I was planning to visit Commonwealth Bank at Martin Place as soon as I stepped out of the airplane. When I got there, I was surprised because the architectural style of the building was luxurious and antique, and it felt very Western. Then I met a teller who greeted me kindly. He made jokes to me. They were funny jokes, but at that time, I did not answer. I was regretful I could not say anything to him in English.

After that, I left for a backpacker hostel that is known as a popular place for foreigners. Unfortunately, there were a lot of people waiting to stay in there. Thus, I had to move another one. Finally I found a different backpacker hostel. As I opened the door of my room, its melancholic atmosphere overwhelmed me. Eventually, I decided to stay only 3 days because of the uncomfortable, unfamiliar air and because the accommodation fee was unfair.

In the first night, I was not able to sleep deeply. Lying in the bed, I really worried about my life in Australia. Being unsure about my future made me afraid.

Time has slipped along.
Compared with the past, many things have changed recently. Nowadays I am trying to improve my life in Australia constantly in order to step forward by studying English and making friends. If I have an opportunity, I would like to settle in Australia.

    Australia is a country that has been described as diverse, multicultural and unique. Our geography, flora and fauna and cultural history are different to anywhere else, which has definitely captured the attention of the rest of the world. Australian society has evolved in a very short space of time from the earliest convict settlements established in the mid 19thcentury, to the cosmopolitan states that currently exist and attract immigrants from all continents across the globe. Australia’s history has reflected conflict, human rights violations, economic growth and the hardship associated with establishing a refined society in a harsh and primitive landscape. Throughout the various stages of Australian history, Australians have attempted to grab onto an identity that makes them unique and able to bond with another fellow Australian. This has not always been easy, given the diversity that has grown over the centuries - the definition of the true Australian identity has changed over time.…

    All I wanted at this point was to be in my bed, in my home, eating usual food. I was afraid I would stay there forever and never see my family again. I never dared to ask my mom when we would leave. I had no choice but to try to enjoy and have fun. Many days passed and I was still in that tarnished house. A couple of days later I was awoken by my mom and was told we were going back home. I was delighted to hear that, my eyebrows raised as high as those skyscrapers, my smile was as big as the ocean and I was happy dancing.…

    Each daytime saw me perched on my wooden bed for hours, staring through the window at the towering green mountains in the distance. Each evening saw me sitting on a stiff wooden stool reluctantly consuming exotic food and drinks. My host family’s disappointment in my speaking skills persisted, and the only sounds in the house that my ears received were rapid, uninterpretable babbles. The only communication that occurred were measly gestures from my host mother to summon me to dinner and sheepish nods from my host father that dismissed me from dinner. The house that I was immured in was seemingly luxurious, but to me, it was a cage of solitude thousands of miles away from my…

In a constant search for what could supply these sources of happiness, we are left in a state of longing. Traveling can fulfill this sense of longing and although there are some dangers in doing so, the benefits psychologically, socially, and academically far outweigh the costs and difficulties.…

    Nonetheless, 6 months pass by in an instance, and next thing I know, I’m already at the National Service Camp, Camp Paya Indah. The first day, or rather, the first week, was totally a nightmare for me. I miss my home, I miss my parents, I miss my siblings, I miss my friends, I miss my own clean bathroom, I just hated life there and I was so jealous of those who can go home earlier because they have a medical condition. Eventually, a month passed by, and by then I already made a lot of friends there, and had already gotten use to the life there. Along the way, quite a number of people also left earlier due to their studies. It was really sad parting with them and I realize I only had one more month to cherish the time with my friends over there.…
