#02 DIFFERENCE

Hi mates, this is Aoi. Long time no see. Thank you for visiting my blog. Today I'm going to talk about the most interesting and surprising differences I have experienced between Australia and Japan. Here we go.

 

Have you ever been surprised to find the difference of the size, in terms of that of food, accommodation and individuals? Firstly, almost every time I dine at a restaurant in Australia, they serve a bigger meal, so sometimes it is hard to eat up. Moreover, my host mother who is really fond of cooking caters dinner, saying “if you want more, please help yourself.” But sorry it is ENOUGH. Just they might be so generous though. Secondly, almost all houses in Australia are much bigger than those in Japan. I am living in my host family’s house, what we call “homestay,” which has more than 10 rooms and 3 bath rooms! When my host father organized “Passover,” a Jewish annual celebration, approximately 50 people gathered and had special dinner there. Even my given room is larger than mine in Japan. Thirdly, I have seen big individuals… I mean, they are big in length, in side or both! When I met a girl who was taller than me, she said she was still 14 years old, which stunned me. Also, there are Australian, including my host family, who are twice as heavy as Japanese students, I guess. While it is little difficult for me to find suitable clothes here, I can wear kid-size sweaters thanks to my length (153cm) haha

 

 Thank you for reading so far. Bye-bye.
