My first week in Sydney-Martin

My first week in Sydney was very difficult for me. I had jetleg for five days.People and cars go an the other side of the road. I was confused. I had to drive a car on my second day in Sydney. It was very dangerous for me and for the other people, but now I drive a car better than on my second day. Martin

My first week in Sydney (Emi Tsukui)

I arrived at the airport on a Saturday morning. The day was a fine day. I could see the sea from my homestay. My host family warmly welcomed me. On the next day, I walked around the beach. It was a very beautiful view. I was tensed up on the first day of ACE. I didn't hear that everyone spoke English. I played beach vollyball yesterday. I will go to the Christmas Concert next Friday.I want to spend more time with my friends in Sydney.

I arrived at the airport on Sept 20th. This time is a Korean festive day. So, I was uneasy. I was picked-up by a man, and I went to my homestay in his car. I didn't have any relatives or friends in Australia. I was lonely for a week. So, I didn't feel like doing anything. and I haven't slept a wink.

The next day, I did a walk of my surroundings. and in the afternoon, I went shopping in BIG W. I'm not particular about food. But, everyday they gave me pasta, here. So, I couldn't eat another bite. After a week, I started to study and meet foreign students. I don't speak English now, but I believe in myself. Well begun is half done!!

I arrived at the airport on morning of the 9th December.
The driver picked me up and he drove me to the host families' house.
The host family welcomed me.
My host family showed me around the house and around Manly.
Then we decorated a Christmas tree.
The next day (10th December) I went to ACE and I met many Japanese people.
After class I went to the city with my new Japanese friends.
We saw the Opera house.It was very beautiful.
The next day(11th December) I played beach volleyball with ACE students after class.
I am still enjoying my first week in Sydney now!

Sunny's Sydney ( Sunyoung )

I remember when I arrived, I was very tired , the reason was because I took a flight for 10 hours. So I killed time by sleeping. I went to school on the second day. I didn't know about anything.
So my homestay housemate helped to me. I thought about thanking her on the second day when I met many friends. ...... Bella & Sunny (Sunny has the same nickname as me, so I was suprised at first).....

On the weekend I visited the city with Sunny . We visited many malls . We looked at many clothes & things but didn't buy them. Because we needed to hunt for a house . We visited many places and then came back to Manly. I remember that on that day, I was very tired . But my first city visit was very enjoyable .

My first week in Sydney

I arrived at the airport on a Saturday night. A taxi-driver was waiting for me at the meeting point. He brought me to Manly, to my home-stay-family. I was very tired and went to sleep. On Sunday, the weather was beautiful and I went to the beach for the rest of the day. I got sunburnt.

For the next few days, the weather changed, it was raining every day :-(

On Monday the 3.Dec.2007, it was my first day at school. I had a small exam. The first day was very easy. On my second school day I was went into my new class. There were many people in my class.

Fillipe... My First week in Sydney

I arrived at the airport on a Saturday morning.
I went to my homestay by taxi, I was very tired, because the flight was very long, so I only slept all day Saturday.
On Sunday, I went to the beach with my hostfriend called Raphael.
He was born in Italy, but he spoke English very well, because he studied in A.C.E. On Monday in the morning I started my first day at school, I was very anxious, because I always wanted to learn english.
My first week in Sydney was very interesting, because I wanted to know about many places very fast. I saw the Opera House, went shopping and I went to Bondi Beach and Dee Why, and I liked them.

Pasquale- My first week in Sydney

I arrived at the Airport in Sydney on the 26th November. My friends from Harbour Tutuli and John picked me and my girlfriend Christina up. We went to their house. We stayed there for the first week. During this week we went into Sydney city for shopping and sightseeing. The first week was very hard because we had bad jetlag.

The people are very friendly in Australia. I was surprised.
