Living In Brisbane

I have lived in Brisbane for only 5 days. But a lot of interesting things have happened.

First day, I was so nervous that I couldn't eat anything. My Japanese roommate, Kumiko, is very sweet. She didn't have any classes in the morning, but she went to school with me and taught me how to take a bus. After I finished my test, I took a bus by myself. But I couldn't remember which stop I should get off at. I tried 3 times. I still couldn't find the way home. Finally, I called my host mother. She came to find me and took me home.

On my third day in Brisbane, I made several friends from Taiwan. They invited me to a party for Chinese new year's eve. Chinese people celebrate Chinese new year's eve with family. No one should be lonely on that day. So, those kind Taiwanese had a party for the students who can't go home during Chinese new year. On the next night, the party started....

We had a lot of traditional Chinese food at the party. The most special food was dumplings. There were 3 coins in those dumplings. If you eat the dumpling with coin, you will be thrown into the swimming pool. But in the end everybody was in the swimming pool. We were wet but happy. I had a special Chinese new year's eve in Brisbane. It's my most crazy Chinese new year's eve.

I am gradually learning to live here. I am looking forward to having more interesting experiences in Brisbane.
