Happy Straya Day mates!! Hope you had a fantastic day.
I am so proud to be an Australian in this glorious and beautiful country. Not only Australia is one of the most liveable cities in the world, did you know Australians are one of the most friendliest people in the world? Working in a role that consist largely of public relations, I can agree wholeheartedly that most Australians are very laid back and easy going.
I migrated to this country almost 5 years ago, although I have lived and studied here during my primary years. Australia has been my second home for as long I could remember. One thing I love about Australia is that anyone from any race, culture or democratic background, can be allowed to practice their culture here, or given the option to participate in both their culture and the Australian culture. Australia is known to have given alot of people the opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle they would not otherwise have enjoyed in other countries. Everyone is given a fair go, and every culture, religion and values are welcomed here. The diverse group of people I have came across here have definitely enriched my life, and most of all, opened my eyes to many different cultures, languages, religion, and food.
Although I am an Australian, Malaysia will always have a special place in my heart. Therefore, I feel very privileged to be able to have lived and experienced life in both countries.
