Hi there, I'd been away from posting ; had a long break and could not steal time to publish anything.Domestic busi-ness took over me and I finally broke the ice and decided to be active.Recently I was struck by many behaviors of new migrants and thought I can write those experiences.

Culture,Customs and their differences

People say when you go to a foreign land you are in for a cultural shock.Well I would say the shocks ( rather tremors) are experienced both by the…

Temporary or permanent accommodation

Finding the right accommodation is one of the biggest challenges facing a new international student, and finding a place in your price range can be even harder.

There is a shortage of affordable housing across Australia that affects everyone, from international students to Australian residents. It is extremely important that you factor the high cost of housing into your budget before you come to Australia, and have access to funds…

Australia, A Place of endless possibilities is back once again as one of the popular destinations for higher studies abroad. Very recently Australian government has relaxed visa rules for Indian students..Read Article here Australia is back as popular destination for studies

Among the many advantages of studying in Australia, the most lucrative is the opportunity to easily work part-time while pursuing the course… and that too without getting into the hassles of obtaining a separate work permit, as is the norm in the US/UK and other countries. As an international student, you and your dependent family members get the permission to work part-time automatically, since the Australian Government has included it in your visa.…

Australia is known for its dynamic, multicultural society, its beautiful beaches, its scenic beauty and laid back lifestyle. But for a student being in Australia is not a long vacation; in fact it can be taken as a rather long work assignment away from home and family. Once the initial excitement about studying overseas and being on your own fades away, negative sentiments such as homesickness, teething troubles about adjusting to a new environment and managing…

When I decided to study abroad, the debate around the right university and the ideal country to choose, went on for a while. After spending considerable time and effort on the ‘search for the ideal overseas study destination’, I finally zeroed in on Australia. When I chose the ‘land of kangaroos’, I was not thinking about the kangaroos or Koalas or open spaces and clean air. From a student’s perspective, those were the last things on my mind! My priorities were – reputation of the…

Studying hard, struggling to finish assignments, working part-time, washing dirty laundry, cleaning my dorm, making new friends…and doing much more, than I had expected from myself, are all a part of my memories of Australia. But   the memorable time that I had on Christmas and New Year’s Eve in Sydney has always held a special place my heart.

  For the benefit of my juniors and friends, who are in Sydney, I’d like to…

Home-cooked food hijacked

On earlier occasions, I had felt that home-cooked food had been hijacked on my first flight to Australia. But this time I was not surprised when I found my mother packing a pressure cooker in my suitcase. My forays into Ma’s kitchen, though recent, have gone a long way in making a difference to my stay here in Australia.

Ma’s cooking…

Cherish Christmas in Australia

No matter how much I enjoyed studying in Australia, pursuing higher education, living on my own, making new friends, there were times when battling homesickness became quite challenging. As a matter of fact, that familiar feeling of longing for my loved ones tugging at my heartstrings seemed to get exacerbated by the festive environment around me.

With Christmas, Boxer’s Day and New Year celebrations round the corner, the aroma of…

So, you’ve arrived in Australia after months of planning for your international study abroad experience. You may be surprised in your first few weeks at how the initial excitement has worn off and left you feeling homesick, out of place and perhaps even a bit depressed.

Don’t worry. It’s normal to experience a certain amount of culture shock when you uproot and move your life to a new place, even if it’s just a temporary move for an international study program. There is bound to be a…
