Starting school nsw




The school’s fantastic – teaches are very good and the other students are nice. They’re from around the world- Japan, Asia, Poland, Turkish, Italy, and Thailand... And all part of Brazil- Porto Alegre, Curitiba, Paraiba, Brasilia, Manaus, Rio de Janeiro...
Everywhere! We’re really happy here; all things are beautiful and totally different. While we walked a lot, each day we saw a new famous site- Opera House, Botanic Garden, Darling Harbour... You have to be carefully when you cross the street, traffic here is reverse hand. We almost had road accident.
It was colder in August, but the problem is windy. The windy is strong and cold. It was finishing the winter, imagine in June. I’m afraid about this. Impossible get into the sea, because the water was freezer and into houses only with heater. Neither of us had lived alone and we have to do everything in our house, so during the first month we were adapting. We have to cook a meal for us, to tidy up the house, do the market and the most important we have to share everything with our flatmates. The first decision was to move to another house. Bigger that one everyone will have privacy with own bathroom, that is, own space.
The end of month we saw that Sydney is expensive, so we have to look for a job...

The first week in Australia


We arrived at the airport at eight o’clock in the morning. Marcio and Tania were waiting for us there. First they took us to the traditional Australian Breakfast in Bondi Beach, it was great. Australian usually eats a big plate with: eggs, toast, bacon, an avocado, sausages, mushrooms and beans. Yeah, Can you imagine eating beans for breakfast? However they eat a different kind of beans they are prepared in a way that they a little sweeter.
After this we went to house to organise our bags. This time I felt surprised because I found some letters from my family and my friends, so beautiful. Then we took a shower and went to a barbecue at our friend Marcio’s who was celebrating his birthday. It was a long day.
Our week was a bit confused, every night we woke up at three o’clock in the morning and we couldn’t sleep more. It’s normal because of jet leg. The next night we went to the Pub the Coogee Bay Hotel to celebrate Marcio’s birthday again. There we met some Aussies and Vanessa and Paulo these couple is our family nowadays. My mind burned I tried to understand English and I felt nervous because I couldn’t speak, like a big baby.
