Study Abroad Semester in Australia
Australia - a country with numerous facets
I already had the possibility to experience down under and the people living there during my study abroad semester this year.
| The next paragraph is a broad overview about my impressions. Australia is famous for its nature and its wildlife.
One impressive example is the Red Centre with the Ayers Rock, a holy location of the Aborigines. If you are in a metropolis such as Sydney, it is also a stroll away from the mountains or from the beaches. You are in a few hours in the Blue Mountains where you can enjoy nature and walking. |
On the other side you can relax on the beaches, for example at Bondi Beach, which is well-known for surfing. You can find this diversity all around Australia. It does not matter where you are; if you are in a
small city or in a big city. Like its nature the people who are living in Australia are also from different nations.
I got to know Asians, Americans and Europeans during my time in Australia. The Australian people are open-minded and friendly. One example for their friendliness is that you thank the bus driver when you go out of the bus; or you ask the check-out girl/boy ... How are you??
These are common gestures in the Australian culture.
Modern and ancient, nature and industry - a high-contrast country! That is why I am so fascinated by Australia.
