Australia is a country with beautiful environment and numerous social welfare. Many people want to apply for immigration to Australia. Then what is the real life of Australian immigrants?
Here is a detailed introduction for you.
Australian people dress very casually, not to attend the formal places generally will not wear a suit, so as a passenger should also be light and casual clothing.
Chinese tourists like to laugh and talk loudly, but Australians need to be careful when they are in public. On planes, restaurants, trains, buses, subways, cinemas or shopping malls, Australians tend to talk quietly. Loud conversation will attract attention.
Australians will consciously queue up in public places. Sometimes they don’t queue up, but there are some differences. You should pay attention to how many people are in front of you at each place, and then wait patiently and consciously.
Dingfeng explained that when queuing in some places, such as banks or cash machines, it is important to keep a certain distance from the people in front of you.
Don’t spit, throw cigarette butts or litter. These behaviors can be reprimanded or fined in Australia.
Australia is blessed with a unique natural environment. There are many kinds of small animals and birds in the city. People here love small animals very much, and birds are protected by law.
Most of the stations in Australia are not checked by people, but occasionally there will be a train inspector, once found to have evaded the ticket, will be fined dozens of times the fare, and will be recorded, if repeat offenders may be revoked visa, and have no chance to go to Australia again.
Aboriginal people in Australia are more conservative and generally do not like tourists to take pictures of them. Therefore, do not take pictures secretly to avoid misunderstanding. In addition, where there is a “no pictures” sign, be sure not to take pictures.
