What Korean thinks about Australia and Australians

 

I have experience living in Australia for a year. Australia was a really beautiful and rich place. Brisbane was a well-planned city centered around Central Station. The smell of the city was good, there were many beautiful places around the Brisbane River, and the trip from the Brisbane River to Tangaloma was good. When you think of Australia, a few things come to mind. It should be noted that this article is very subjective.

- immigrants
- Coal
- Uluru
- Oppression and oppression of indigenous people

- Agriculture
- Opera House

In 2002, prices at that time were similar to those in the United States. It was more expensive than Korea, but cheaper than Japan. As in any developed country, labor costs were high, so We had to pay about $60 at the time to eat at a decent restaurant. Beer, wine, beef, lamb, and vegetables were inexpensive. It was good to shop at a large supermarket called Woolworth. Australians often party. Private parties could be held by renting a restaurant or pub by the river, or they could attend the party by sending an invitation and paying a reasonable amount. Shall we call it a place of socializing? Brisbane's Down Under Pub was Brisbane's top attraction. They say it's a hot place, but I've been there once, but I've never experienced anything hot air, so I want to go there again next time.

I studied English cource at a private academy called ECC, and did packing job work at a farm near Brisbane. Attending the academy was lively and fun, and the work at the packing farmer was hard and arduous, but the labor cost was reasonable. At that time, I could earn about 200 dollars a day, which was not a small amount for students.

 

 

 

When packing at the farm, the machine kept running and we had to pack at the speed of the machine, so we had to do it nonstop, but the Australian one man who was a mechanical equipment technician behind us was always eating something. It was a very difficult behavior to understand in Korea. It was a little strange behavior for Koreans to share food or eat alone in front of people. Eat together or not eat infront of them. Now that I think about it, I think it is a Western culture, not Australian. Still, I still don't understand how to eat food alone while watching with the title of supervisor while others are working hard.

Australians are mostly friendly. Among Koreans and Asians, there were many sayings to be careful of flying beer cans and rare eggs, and I heard that quite a few people were beaten. I've never been hit, but people around me said it was quite right. Occasionally, young people drove by and yelled at us (I don't know what they were saying).

After returning from Australia, I went to Bali, Indonesia. It is close to Darwin, Australia, and is visited by many Australians. Probably the highest percentage among Westerners. Bali is a fantastic travel destination, once I took a taxi and the taxi driver's words were interesting. Fights often occur in Bali, but Australians say they fight the most, and even when they do fight, Australians fight among themselves.

Australia is a really strong country.
