I’m writing this post a bit late as I forgot to upload it when I first came to Brisbane, as it was so awesome! Life in Australia is not very different from that in the US; people act very similarly. So I didn’t have any culture shocks that rattled me. Life here is very relaxed and laid back, so shops and restaurants close much earlier than I’m used to. But Brisbane is beautiful, and so is the whole of Australia. No disrespect to College Station, but Brisbane is green and rich with nature. There are many botanical gardens, and the city lies on the banks of a river. I have actually travelled around Australia quite a bit now, but I will save those stories for the final post. Overall, my first impressions of Brisbane were excellent!
