Last week in Australia

4 days... Thats the number of days i've left in Australia - History of Australia.

Its a country with lots of interesting things, people and culture.

People normally greet each other with "Good day", or "How's it going?".
"Mate" is a term commonly used between friends, son and dad.

At the age of 15 to 16, teens here no longer stay with their parents. They would rent a room or apartment and stay by themself.Parent here have the right to request their kids to start working and pay for their own expenses. Parent can even request kids to contribute to household expenses.

As early as 10am, you can see people sitting in a pub drinking beer. The first time i saw that, i ask myself secretly "How come their lifestyle is so relax?". According to one of my aussie friend, Australia has overtake Germany as the nation that consume most beer annually.

Drivers are also more friendly here compare to SG, where all drivers seems like rushing to hell.

One thing that i hate here is that while you were walking at the pathway. Out of a sudden some crazy fellow will scream/shout at you. Even worse, some will throw eggs or packets of urine.

Thats the few good and bad of Australia.
