 The thing that surprised me coming to Australia is just the level of technology in communication transport here in Australia. It's on another level to what I'm used to back home, so it was mind-blowing to see what city life looked like here. I found that I have tons and tons of support. You can excel. It's up to you to make that choice. The Australians, despite their busy life, they still have time to provide information, to answer your questions, and to help you in every way. What surprised me most is how the country is advancing in ICT. Now everything in the country is done online, shopping, banking, or booking your flight. The diverse culture, and that despite the differences, everyone is able to live in harmony and have respect for each other. Everywhere I see you, Australia is known for snakes. The major surprise was I could not find one.
