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.
