FAMILY TIME! AND ALSO, BYE AUSTRALIA ;(

I have now been at an Australian family! The family was really nice and friendly. I got to meet the dad Lee, the mom Karen and their 9 year old daughter Melissa. I've got to know many new things of what an Australian family do everyday. Lee works at a local grocery store and his wife works as a barber. They work between 8 AM - 5 PM. Their daughter goes to a local primary school. She needs too wear two different school uniforms every week. Every morning she takes the school bus that stops nearby her house to get to her school. That is very different from what we have in Sweden.

Melissa’s favorite hobbies are to catch small bugs and then put them in a little cage. After a little while she lets them free. She also likes big fishes. That’s why they have an aquarium full of deep sea fishes. After the school Melissa goes often home to one of her best friends.

The area I lived in is a small town just outside of Brisbane. The house is small with few rooms. The backyard however is really big. It has a large fountain, pool and lots of place too play ball sports. Both the frontyard and the backyard is full of plants I’ve never seen before. And there’s a big palm tree in the middle of the front yard.

The Australian family and I did many different things while I was visiting. On the first day they showed me around the neighborhood and the house. On the second day I went with Melissa to her school and got to see what kind of lessons they have. The schedule looked almost the same as the Swedish one. I was really hungry that day. I thought they gave free school lunch like in Sweden, but no they don’t . On the last day the family showed me around the city and at the and of the day we ate at a beautiful asian restaurant.

This is my final post for this blog. I’m currently at Brisbane airport waiting on my flight to Sydney. From Sydney I’m going to make one stop over in Dubai, then from Dubai I’m going to fly to Arlanda airport in Stockholm. 

It has been very fun here in Australia and I can’t wait to visit it again! I give Australia 9/10.

Thank you for this time!
