I’ve been in Cairns for 6 weeks and I’m staying for 6 more months. Already this is the longest stay for me in a foreign country, I’ve seen a lot of attractions here: beautiful nature, gentle citizens, gorgeous weather. In my opinion, everything here makes people feel more active, as a result of this, although I’m afraid of heights, now I want to try to go skydiving and ride in a hot air balloon, I couldn’t image this situation when I was in Japan. The desire to see a good landscape from the sky is getting bigger than the fear. Not only are there many beautiful places that are a must, but also I think this feeling is the reason why there are so many activities and travel companies in Cairns.

I’m interested in tourism and hospitality, so I decided to come to this city and enter this school, in order to this, I’d like to try to do something relative to hospitality as a part time job later, for example, tour guiding or working in a hotel. This is one of my motivations to brush up my English.

The diversity of cultures of many countries is such a nice point here, so I can enjoy eating local food and conversing with a variety of people. I’ve eaten Korean food, Thai food and of course Australian food. When I eat kangaroo meat at a BBQ, I always feel a sense of belonging to Cairns at the time. Several Japanese restaurants are here, and the rice roll shop is near this school so I can eat my country’s food as lunch whenever I want, this makes it easier for me to stay in a foreign country for a long time.

I’ve already had such good experience here, and I wanna enjoy the rest of my time and find many other attractive sides of Cairns.
