Australian life is back a year, and Australia, with a population of 25 million, is booming
1. I often see some people in foreign countries saying that there is no garbage on the streets of foreign countries. Based on my personal experience, I think this is just a one-sided situation, please don't think too highly of "foreigners"! In some of the more prosperous places, the total amount of domestic waste is considerable, more than in many large cities in China. Australia is not as diligent as China, and the reason why there is not so much garbage is because the residents here are all well-educated, such as going abroad, going abroad, and most importantly, most of Australia is inaccessible, no one, how can there be so much garbage?
2. Although Australia is very large, there is very little land suitable for human survival, and many lands are arid and desertified. Australia's population is only 25 million, which is equivalent to our Shanghai city, and Australia's Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane together are half of Australia's population.
Australia has six states, one is New South Wales, one is Tasmania, one is Queensland, one is Victoria, one is South Australia, and one is Western Australia. Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, Australia is summer, June to August is winter, but Australia is vast, the weather in the east and west coastal areas is still very different.
3. In terms of security, compared with some developed regions, theft, theft, and theft are relatively rare in some parts of Europe. But it doesn't mean that it can be completely easy, bank card theft in Australia is quite serious, so you must be careful with your password when paying. In addition, scams** and phishing text messages are also common, so don't believe them when you find a text message with an illegal charge, and don't click on the link casually.
4. The food in Australia is not as rich as in China, and the taste is relatively simple, there are no night markets, no roadside stalls and the like. Many shops and supermarkets close at five or six o'clock in the evening and are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Only on special days such as Sundays and holidays will they be open until 9 o'clock, and Chinese supermarkets open late. At night, there are very few people on the streets, and there is no life of the city at all!
5. There is nothing wrong with shopping at night, but beware of the Aborigines, such as Cairns and Perth, some of whom are drinking in the streets, with a bottle of beer in their hands and words in their mouths, and there is chaos on the ground.
On Perth's subway, the natives used the road as a stadium, turning a blind eye to the disdainful gazes cast by those around them.
Australia has indigenous legal protection, some aborigines do not have jobs, take weekly benefits, hang out, drink, fight, Australia's ** has no way to take them, it is better to avoid them as a tourist. In Australia, there are many homeless people, Australia has welfare, there is public housing, but there are still many people who are homeless because they can't control their expenses, or have developed some bad habits.
6. The pace of life of Australians can be summed up by the word "leisurely", whether it is a general white-collar worker or a government unit, they all belong to the kind of slow work, low work efficiency, everything must be booked in advance, and the procrastination in the middle is even more maddening! I once took more than three months to fix the vulnerability after I submitted a report, and the process was so painful!
Moreover, the time for online shopping is also very long, at least four or five days, sometimes more than ten weeks, to receive the goods! Food delivery is also slow! The network signal here is very poor, and some areas do not even have a 3 G signal. However, most of Australia is spent by credit card, and many attractions and restaurants do not allow the use of cash, so there is no need to carry too much money with you, which is neither safe nor convenient to use. In Australia, you don't need to give too much money, but in some restaurants, the waiter will still ask for some money. Of course, depending on your specific situation, you can also give it or not.
7. The eastern part of Australia is surrounded by the Coral Sea and the Tasman Sea, and the western, northern and southern parts of Australia are surrounded by the Indian Ocean, so the sea resources here are very rich, there are more than 4,000 kinds of fish, more than 30 kinds of seaweed, dolphins, whales, penguins, lobsters, etc. In addition, there is a lot of wildlife in Australia, but there are no big carnivores, such as Australian stray dogs, such as kangaroos and koalas. Australia's rural towns are full of small creatures, large spiders, bats, snakes, cockroaches and more.
8. There are many people who can speak Chinese in Australia, and some school and middle school students also use Chinese as their second language, so in Australia, if you want to curse, don't use Chinese casually, otherwise no one knows if there is anyone around you who can understand you! In Australia, people like to express their ideas in Chinese. I've seen a girl tattoo the word "love" on the back of her neck, a muscular man tattooing the Chinese names of his wife and children on his arm, and an Australian guy with the words "friendship" and "family" on his arm!
9. In Australia, marriage between men and women is legal, and the way of treating love is also different, they believe that true love is pure, as long as they love each other, they can be together. For them, the bride price, the house, the car, and whether they can have children after marriage are none more important.
10. Australians, whether at work or on holidays, will leave work behind, enjoy their lives to the fullest, and stay away from work calls and emails! Australia has more holidays that give you plenty of money and time to enjoy your life to the fullest: swim on the beach, paddle in a forest park, walk or surf along the coastline, enjoy an opera or drama, attend a wine and film festival, hold or attend a party, and much more.
11. Although the salary in Australia is not bad, it is generally more "earthy" in terms of clothing, and feeling comfortable is the most important thing. Seeing an Australian woman walking barefoot, she said it was more comfortable and more adaptable. In addition, Aboriginal Australians often walk barefoot on the streets, and some places even specifically stated: "When entering, you must wear shoes and sandals!" ”
12. In Australia, all animals have personally identifiable information associated with their owners. When buying a pet, there will be a set of relevant documents, as well as a pet license, vaccinations, etc. In order to prevent getting lost, most pets will be equipped with a chip, once people see stray cats and dogs, they are usually sent to the pet hospital, through the identification of the chip to find the owner. In addition to this, it is common to put a name and *** on your pet, so it is very difficult for you to see any stray cats and dogs in Australia, even those with pets, who are also registered.
13. Some cities and towns in Australia, with a total population of less than 2,000, are different from what many people imagine, there are various supporting facilities, parks, cinemas, restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, churches, police stations, and public toilets. The pace of life here is slow, surrounded by farmland, forests and the sea.
14. Locals in Australia, during the relocation process, often leave things that they can't carry with them in front of their homes for passers-by to pick up by themselves. At first, I thought was that it was cheap**? In fact, he could really find anything other than a printer and the like. As for garbage collection, Australian communities usually do it once a week, and if they exceed the time limit, they will have to wait until the next week or pay for it themselves.
15. Australia's interpersonal relationships are relatively simple, with respect and inferiority, respect and inferiority, and in the workplace and campus, everyone is commensurate by name, but when it comes to primary and secondary schools, it is slightly different, usually with "mr" or "mrs" plus a surname to honorific titles.
16. Australia is regarded by many people as a "lazy person", who makes a living by receiving relief funds and various subsidies, and can make a lot of money even if he "lies flat". Australians' pre-tax income in 2021 is about 90,900, or 41,000. The minimum wage in Australia is $20 per hour$33 compared to $25 for part-time workers. Since part-time employees are not entitled to sick leave or annual leave, the higher hourly pay can be compensated for with higher salaries.
When I was in Australia, I met a local sister who worked as a cleaner in a nursing home and earned $70,000 a year. She is very satisfied with her work, and although the work is tiring, the salary is very high. There is also a female college student, she met in a Japanese restaurant, she took advantage of the summer vacation to work as a waitress, with a monthly salary of nearly 5,000. New college students, who are paid about $22 an hour and even more on weekends, have been tricked into paying them less than the minimum wage required by law, and if they are caught, they will be prosecuted and fined hefty.
