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.
