It has been already one month since I came to here. At the first day, very very strong sunlight welcome me at an airport. Then I realized I finally arrived in Australia. The university staff waited for me at the airport. She picked me up, and took me to shopping. It was a really convenient system, I did not know way to the university, did not havea\u00a0 transportation card, and honestly I did not feel like bringing heavy groceries by bus ;p<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Century\">First week (O\u2019week) was quite busy week. I bought many stuffs, and prepared for classes. There were many exciting events at this week. I joined one day trip, we went to Cleland Wildlife Park and Hahndorf. It was awesome. I met kangaroo, koala, and many cute animals. I also got to know many international students. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Century\">The campus and students are really nice, too. There are many study spaces, especially I like the library; they have a quiet study space and SLC (Student Learning Centre). They always help me. Students are friendly and kind. Even though I don\u2019t speak English well, my friends try to listen to me all the time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Century\">My campus life has just started, it was great starting. I will STUDY HARD and PLAY HARD at this University. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Century\">Thank you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Yu Matsuura is on semester exchange at Flinders University from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/en\/international\">Hiroshima University,<\/a> Japan: Semester S1 2018<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Century\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Century\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Century\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, I\u2019m Yu, from Japan.
