It has been nearly 3 years since I came to study in Melbourne. Studying in Australia is definitely a new experience to me and every one of us. I have learned a lot which I could never have experienced in Hong Kong.
It's good to take a break from the overcrowded, noisy and polluted city – Hong Kong. My parents have always told me not to focus only in Hong Kong because Hong Kong is just a very, very small place in the world. I do agree!! There are lots of things out there. Should I have not studied in Australia, I would have missed all the beautiful things in the world. The air is clean in Australia. The sky is blue. And recently, I've had this experience -- to swim in one of the cleanest beaches on a sunny day. I would never forget the great times I had at the beach. That's why I promise myself to stay in Australia during the summer! Thanks a lot, Denise, for organizing me to study in Australia!
The more you find out about Australia, the more fun you will get out of it. For example, I'm planning to go for rock climbing next semester. That's another promise to myself – to join as many outdoor activities as I can! Of course, I am also loving my Architecture course at The University of Melbourne.
Before I went to Australia, I used to think Australia is a boring place. However, that is not true at all!! You can never have fun and enjoy yourself if you stay home all the time. Life can be boring and it is you who have to make it interesting!
