We love each other very much but I am quite distressed how difficult it is for my wife to adjust. She had a completely incorrect image of Australia before she came here. We have met particularly Ukrainian women here who are very unhappy and whose marriage went to pieces. We are writing this message to help others avoid problems and urge any person who wants to immigrate into Australia to stop dreaming and face reality. Many Ukrainian women try to come to Australia because they think it is a rich and comfortable paradise, that every Australian lives in a big comfortable brick house, drives a bid car, buys expensive clothing and has an overseas holiday each year.
Nothing is further from the truth.
Many houses are made from wood and houses made from brick only have the outside wall made of brick. Rooms in modern houses are very small. New cars are expensive and most Australians buy a new car on credit. The same applies to furniture. The average age of a car in Australia is 8 years.
