On Monday, 2nd January 1994, I arrived in Australia to study. This was the first time I had travelled overseas by myself. I found Australia to be a very different country from Taiwan. Taiwan is the third biggest computer hardware producer in the world after USA and Japan. However, our education system is the same as in Japan and South Korea.
Students have to pass many examinations in order to get into schools.
That is the reason I came to Australia to study for my degree. Studying graphic design at the University of Canberra means more to me than just getting a degree. It means learning other things, including Australian language and history, tradition and modern culture, Australian customs, and so on. I enjoy my course very much. Australian students make up ninety-nine per cent of my class.
