Personal Narrative: Moving To Australia

Australia

The past six week we have covered the likes of 3rd world living and the conditions that they provide to their people. The conditions of living have been focused on the geographic location of these countries, the social issues that take place, military status, economical well being and the technology that is possesses. Before I make the decision to uproot and move, I need to make certain of some things. I will most definitely not move somewhere where I will not be able to, at least match or increase my income, so I need to take a look ant the economy of the relocation destination. I want to make certain that the culture and its surrounding are suitable for the upbringing of children. The schools, the climate,

The Queensland area, on paper, would be the most desirable area to relocate to. A factor in this decision for me is the fact that I am a certified scuba diver and the location is on the doorstep of the most amazing location to dive in the world, The Great Barrier Reef. Listen up here, this reef extends over 1600 mile long and contains over 3000 clusters of individual reefs (http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0101/feature2/). If you're familiar how to use it, Google earth it, simply amazing. The culture in Australia is very similar to that of the United States, there is a very diverse range of people from all over the world. The Australian people are fond of the " barby" when they cook. There cooking style stem form the days of the British and English rule, meat and potatoes are commonly found the diner table, which is completely fine in my book. There is a presence of sporting events in the every day way of life, not to the extent of the Americans but its there. They are particularly interested in the Australia rules football and Rugby. Australia's premier summer sport is cricket. They also enjoy many other sports, such as tennis, netball, soccer, golf, and basketball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Australia). Gambling is a pastime of many, and horse racing and greyhound racing are popular sports for this …show more content…
The only draw back that I think it would have would be the length time traveling that it requires to get to Australia. It is a trip that takes you to the complete other side of the world. If you have been to Hawaii, double that, for those of you that have not, it will take you about 24 hours to fly to Australia. If you decide to come do yourself a favor, bring your scuba license, or get one and your suntan lotion along with your

    Modern Australian culture has been influenced by many different countries. Many of the people who have come to Australia since 1945 were motivated by a commitment to family, or a desire to escape poverty, war or persecution. Great Britain colonized Australia with the purpose to explore new lands and alleviate the burden of over crowded prisons in Great Britain. People of the Asia Pacific Region immigrated to Australia because they were geographically close and it was largely due to the Gold Rush. During World War 2, many US Soldiers were stationed in Australia mainly for training and some for rest and recreation. Apart from their accents, the visiting soldiers brought lots of money, goods, clothes and music that had never been seen or heard in Australia. As there were so many soldiers, they were abundantly supplied with their luxuries and comforts from their home country. All of a sudden, Australia was introduced to American culture. Since then, and prior to the new media era, Australia has also been exposed to many varied and different American television shows eg The Brady Bunch, Get Smart,…

    The work on the plantations is very exhausting, and I wish I could move back to Shanghai in China. There are other ethnicities here like Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese, but I usually talk with the other Chinese immigrants. Apparently, there is another language called Pidgin that everyone speaks so they can understand each other. How is everyone else doing over the past 10 years that I have been gone? I hope everything has been fine back in China.…

    If you have ever been bullied, you know where I am coming from when I say that it is something that no one should ever go through. Unfortunately, I have gone through it before and I am glad to have fought through it. I can clearly remember the time when I used to get bullied. My family and I had just moved to Canada a few months ago and I wasn't able to speak English very well at the time. I was so excited to learn everything there was to know about Canada, especially now that I knew that everyone didn’t live in igloos. Before coming to Canada I was told by a friend in India that everyone lived in igloos, of course being six at the time I believed her without questioning it. I was also very excited to see snow for the first time because,…

    One of the decisions I have made, and it has changed my life enormously ever since, is when I decided to move to the U.S to complete my bachelor degree. I became a different person. A person whose reasoning and rational thinking has developed and thrived rapidly everyday living in different surroundings and conditions. However, I will admit that when I made my decision, I thought, it would be nice and easy to study aboard. The idea of being responsible of everything in my life and completely free to do whatever I want without my parents watching over my head to make sure I’m doing right had not crossed my mind before that time, and that how is my life hasn’t been the same long…

    America, land of the free and home of the brave, a country strengthened with rights, equality, and justice. For Americans it’s just a regular country, with regular rules and laws, nothing special about it. Although, to immigrants it’s a country to reinterpret their lives, a better life, a life where they’re free to pursue their happiness and follow their dreams. Even though America is a great country, adjusting to a new culture isn’t easy. It took patience, support, understanding, and passion in order for me to balance two different cultures.…

    In March of 2007, I entered the United States illegally. Prior to this, I had been deported twice. Crossing the border was very dangerous, but I had to do it because in Mexico we are very poor. My father passed away 21 years ago, and my mom was left a widow with 11 children. My oldest brother moved out of the house, so I had to step up and help my mom raise my siblings. Where I’m from, there aren’t many jobs available, only on the fields and the pay wasn’t enough to support us. I didn’t want to cross the border, but I had no other choice. I ask for your forgiveness for breaking the immigration law by crossing the border and living in America illegally.…

    Australia is considered to be a “Sports mad” country. We’re known for this because of the amount of people that play it, but also the intensity that it is played at. Participation was high in sports because young men desired the friendships they had from war time. In the 1950s one of the biggest sports or hobbies was surfing. Surfing was big because most people near water. Living near water and surfing brought the different looks in trends out that are still seen to this very day.
