17th of November(2nd day

On 17th of November, we woke up early in the morning about 7am to be prepared for the school at 9am. Then, Bong, one of our home stay members volunteered himself to take us to the first class today. He took us to walk along the street and we learnt to take the bus to University of Western Australia ourselves. The weather is very cold in the early morning. The bus ticket costs $2.3 for each person. Bong is a nice Korean guy who took us to the University of Western Australia. He also promised to take us home by 4 o’clock , the time when the class finished. Then, we registered to a counter in the entrance of Faculty of Education. We met Mathew, who is the organizer of this study trip in Australia. He is a handsome and friendly guy as well. And we also met our teacher, Rosemary Allen, a friendly teacher. We then had a closed lesson of twelve of us with Rosemary at 9 o’clock after a short briefing about ourselves. All of us are interested with the lesson as well because the teacher is very friendly to us. We learnt about the theory of different culture variations and teaching styles between UK and Asia. Then, we had lunch in the café in the University for an hour before we continued our lessons. Our lessons ends at 12pm and we had excursion by walking a long way to the main campus of University of Western Australia and briefing about buildings around that area. Also, the weather is cold in the afternoon here. And, we saw peacock, the wild life around the university as well. After the class ended at 3pm, all of us took our way to the Lake near the University and had a fun and relaxing moment there. However, we are lost on the way going back to the main entrance of University at 4pm. Luckily, we met Steven and other 3rd year seniors and successfully found Bong in the main entrance as well. At night, we had pasta as our dinner and that was our first time ate with our home stay family members. Also, we had ice-cream as our deserts, offered by Rada’s daughter. She is a beautiful and friendly people as well. Surprisingly, we went out to watch a movie, Body of Lies with two Korean people, two of our home stay members at night. We met a girl from Hong Kong, called Rainy as well. However, we spent about $16 for the movie, an expensive price for us.

16th of November(1st day in Perth,Australia)

On 16th of November, Me and Sin Yong arrived at LCCT airport in the early morning about 6:30am. After checked in, we found that our flight to Perth had been delayed for 2 hours , which means we have to wait until 9:40am for departure to Perth, Australia. Almost all of us fell asleep while waiting in the airport , since we do not have enough sleep during these days. At last, we departed at 9:40am by walking to the flight under the hot sun. It’s an interesting experience for us especially me because this is the first time I took the plane and travel to foreign country. We spent almost 5 hours on the plane and do not have a comfortable sleep as well because of the seat. After we arrived at Perth airport, we took photo in front of the immigration. It’s a different experience as there are so many foreign people surrounding us . After that, we stopped at a free duty shop to buy the Optus prepaid traveler SIM card. The card cost $19.95 and this is the first time we use the Australian money. We then checked out, and collected our luggage. There was a bus waiting for us and brought to our University. The moment where we have waited for so long finally has reached. We first met our host family in the University. Looking at them holding our name to welcome us, we felt so warm. Rada, who is our host family is a nice person. She drove us to the place we stay and we started to chit-chat. We didn’t talk too much because we were too nervous at that time. Finally we had reached the destination. Rada introduced us her family, they were nice. After we have put in our luggage in the room, we had our diner with Rada. The meal was delicious. We had fish fillet with pasta and salad as well. We really enjoyed our meal. After the meal, we chit-chatting with Rada about our favourites, life in um, chinese cultural performance and others. We went to sleep at about 12am.

Ghost whisperer

erm......I loves to watch any kind of scary and mysterious movie since i small. Ghost Whisperer, one of my favourite movie for me now.i was really impressed with every single story that i watched in this movie. in my thought, i felt that Melinda's husband, Jim Clancy is a very very very good and nice husband in the world. He would help Melinda to overcome every difficultiy that they had to face in their life, because of Melinda's special gift.
Yet, terrible thing happened in the season 4 . Her husband, Jim died in the shot accident. I can't believe that Melinda will lose her husband ever before! I cried every time i reached this this movie.
