Sometime I suddenly cannot believe I am in Australia now. It is the third day of my oz trip. I feel like I am dreaming. But it is not, it is totally true. Maybe some people would say, come one! just go abroad, there is nothing to be so excited because of this! No. I think those people who go abroad often or study abroad cannot understand what I feel now. I have been thinking about traveling abroad since I was 15 or 16. And every time when I made my plan, my parents always stop me because of some unreasonable stupid reasons. BUT, it finally came true this time!!! And I even come here by myself!!! I really cannot believe how excited I was when the airplane was taking off in Taipei and landing in Brisbane. Although there is something bad happened in the begining of my trip. I think I will do my best to overcome it. It is a bit weird that I do not feel any culture shock in Australia. I heard people always say when you go to a western country you will definitely get culture shock. I do not. I guess it is because there are too many Asians here. And Brisbane looks like Taipei, no wonder I read someone wrote Brisbane is called "another Taipei" because there are tons of Taiwanese young people come here for working holidays. I was thinking about to do the same after university, but now I changed my mind, I think I do not that like Australia as I thought. Maybe it is because I have been here for only 3 days. Perhaps I will discover more about Australia in the coming weeks. Who knows. I have not spoken any Chinese since I am here, although I heard many people speak chinese around me. Ah, it is so true - Chinese everywhere!

I think I know why you do not have a cultural shock because in Australia they have a multicultural society and that is why you can see so many Asians there but I also believe that you will maybe get a cultural shock when you live together with a family from another country. I take the view that you are really cool ^___^ that you travel alone and that one of your dreams has come true! I hope to be able to experience this kind of travelling also one day!
I bet I would definitely got a BIG cultural shock when I will be in Austria O___O
Maybe but if you will be in Austria I will tell you as much as possible that you will not have such a big cultural shock.
I hope that day will come as soon as possible!!! ^^
