Impression of Melbourne and Australia

In Australia, the environment is generally quiet. It is not uncommon that there is not much noise from vehicles and people. This is superb because noise will annoy me and make me uncomfortable.

In Melbourne, the weather fluctuates a lot. At midnight and in the morning, the temperature is so low that I do not want to wake up. At noon and in the afternoon, the weather is so great and the temperature is usually 16-18 Degree Celsius. This is just like Autumn and I like it. As described above, it can be realized that the weather changes much in a day, therefore I have to protect myself from getting ill.

Besides, people in Melbourne are very warm, as evidenced by their hospitality towards foreigners. Take my case as an example, my host treats me so well, they always ask for my favorites and try their best to satisfy my needs, for instance, when they understand that I like to try different types of food, they purchase the food in the supermarket and prepare for them in the afternoon. I am glad that I live in this Australian family.

On the other hand, I think the transportation is quite inconvenient in terms of time. For each type of transport, the time for waiting is quite long, such as the campus buses, which will be available every 30 minutes. It is time-consuming for students to wait for the transport to get to home. I hope the transportation timetable will be modified so that people need not waste their time standing near the bus stations.
