Day 5

*Map leaves

Still feel nervous and stress to get used new environment. I feel exhausted everyday.

Today, I went to the job agency to register my data there. After finished all the process, I have a long and nice conversation with the girl at reception. Hope I can get a new job soon. The price is quite high in Australia. If I can’t find a job soon, I will run not of my money within a month. Then I need to come back to Taiwan early. I really hope to stay here longer.

I also try to apply some jobs online in the Melbourne Central where provides free wireless internet. I meet a Taiwanese, Ewen, who grew up in New Zealand and is studying in Melbourne now. Ewen can’t speak Chinese, so we talk in English and exchange our email to each other. It is really easy to get a new friend here. How small is the world, I always meet people from Taiwan in Oz.

My two roommates are drunks. James came back room at 3 am, he spewed many times in toilet. He asked me to make sure he will come back form the toilet. The other roommates, Dan, came back at 7 am, he went to work directly. I am not sure if he got some sleep yesterday. Most foreigners love drinking, they drink a lot and hang out in the pub to have fun late everyday. I don’t think I can live like that way.

Today is very cold, I didn’t wear enough clothes. I think I might get a cold, because I start coughing.

People are all nice and friendly to me. I meet some new friends everyday, but sometimes I can’t find the appropriate response to keep the conversation going. I still don’t know how to make a joke. I am a little bit tired to make new friends everyday.
