It is very important to make adaptation with our new neighbourhood if we have just arrived in new country. Australia, ehm...we know that Australia is the one of nation which very proud with their tradition and with all that they have.
Kangaroo, Koala, Sydney Opera House, Anzac, Barbequeu, Surfing, and so on that can be a representative as Australian icon. Positive thing that we can get from these matter is that Australian are very proud of them and usually use them in every activities.
For example, Australian eam in World Cup 2006, are called Socceroos. Socceroos comes from two words, Soccer and Kangaroos. Of course these words do not have relation each other. Just for simbol that Australian is very proud with them.
My beloved country, Indonesia, ehm ehm...It is very difficult to define it, how o make national icon for unity. Every province, every region try to raise up their icon as a national symbol. On the other hand, we do not know that unity ain icon can build international image for our country.
Back to adaptation theme in the very beginning, we are as international students, should have include with Australian tradition...Barbeque, call friend with "mate", Australian slang language, and every interesting that we have found as something new.
In educational system, Australia, as the same with the other western country, they have a good matter for study that very different with Indonesia. We call it critical thinking or critical review. In academic situation, we sit in the same position with the others. No matter that our discussion mates has finished their PhD, already get Professor...
We sit in the same grade, we analyze every subject and we do critical thinking. These proses ae very interesting because I never get it when I was in university. So, for me, as International Student that totally come from different system with Australia, should work more harder to make our grade as the same as Australian. Good job mates...keep struggling...
