My fifth day in Australia

This is my fifth day in Australia. The place and people here are very different from Hong Kong. There are something I see or feel during these days.

- Australia is really a beautiful place. I ride or walk to CSIRO office for several times. The environment around makes me comfortable and relaxed.

- the people are nice. Like, many people would say 'thank you' when getting off the bus, which is uncommon in Hong Kong. Yet some Aussie can be regarded as lazy by Hong Kong standard, and the customer service here is just ok.

- Canberra is quiet place, or boring place if you like. Not much entertainment here, shops close at night. You can't find the equivalent of Mong Kok here. It is kind of cultural shock for Hong Kong people like me.

- bike is so common here. They have specific lane for bikes on highways. Riding is good for health and for environment. I think there will be more cyclists as the oil price keeps rising.
