How to get Bodi Beach

2005-11-09T13:07:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody,
If we want to go there by train, we have to meet each other at Central Station, the train takes about 10 minutes to get to Bondi Junction, after that we have to change to a 380,381,382 or L 82 bus which takes 15 minutes to get to Bondi Beach. You can check how to get to Bondi here.

Should we have cameras in our local shopping center?

I think it could help a lot to the police, because they can't be every where and all the time.It's very positive. I agree.

Young adults staying at home

2005-08-24T20:01:00.000-07:00

I believe that each person has to try to became able to live by themselves.
Firstly, every one wants to live life in their own way, adults need privacy to do whatever they decide, for that you do need to live by yourself.
Also the parents need to rest from you because they already spent a long time with children, so now it is their turn to enjoy themselves and do things which they couldn't do because of you.
Therefore I don't think anybody who thinks properluy wants to be with their parents the rest of their life. What will happend when they die?jessica.

what my classmates think?

2005-08-17T20:03:00.000-07:00

I think my classmates have different points of view aabout this issue, because it depends on the way you look at it, some of them have to stay with their parents because a economic or cultural reasons. But I think if you have everything to live by yourself and still you dont't do it, it's because you may have personality problems.

Earthsquakes in Chile

2005-04-27T16:11:00.000-07:00

In my country, Chile, we have a lot of earthsquakes. Every month we have at least one, sometimes they are long and strong, everything moves at home and sometimes they may be unperceptible. In 1985 when I was 13 years old we had a very big earthquake 7.5. I was very afraid, the floor moved horizontaly. There were somethings broken at home like dishes, frames, etc. but nothing really bak, like it hapened to other people who were died. It was horrible.
Since then we haven't had another so strong in Santiago the city where I lived.
Now I'm in Australia and I miss them, because I like them. Anyway, I enjoyed them even the big one as I just told you.

Hello my beautiful mum,

Hail of Sydney

On the last days the weather has been very rainy. I like rain as I like hot weather too, but anything too long, make me desesperate, so these pictures it make think it should be very boring to be for 3 months or maybe longer, cold, everything white, there is not movement and the man in the picture doesn't seem very happy.
These pictures are very sad, I don't like them, if it is funny the snow at home, why nobody is enjoying it?

yesterday

2005-03-09T16:05:00.000-08:00

The woman who I interviewed yesterday, comes from India, I can't remember her name, cause it is too long and very different to my language. She is fourty years old, she is married and she has two children. She has been in Australio for around four years and the language is a little bit difficult for her. Actually she lives in Allawah.
She seems to be a very nice person, her eyes show something special inside of her.

A sad history

2005-03-09T15:48:00.000-08:00

This history is about a woman who two years ago came to this country for holidays. Same day she met a man who was able to give her all that she had wanted in her 32 years. They got to know each other, they fell in love with each other. They enjoyed being together, they even decided to have a baby together. But soon, four month after that, she had to go back to her country, she had to spend all her pregnancy alone, missing him, crying and waiting day by day to be with him again.
Finallly, after one year of suffering they were together again, but nothing was the same , he wasn't the same beatiful man, nobody knew why, but they never could be happy again, nothing between them was workking.
Now when she thinks about all that she left for him (her country, her friends, her family, her language, her life), she sees the landscape of this country; every thing with snow, cold, sad and beautiful, beautiful like her doughter and so sad like her life is now.

Jessica's new life

2005-03-09T10:40:00.000-08:00

Hello everybody, I'm Jessica, I come from Chile. I have been in Australia for five months, I'm married and I have two daughters.
I'm triying to get a better english because I would like to have a job at the end of this year. Mi life here has changed a lot, i don't work, I study and I have to look after my baby and support my oldest doughter because she doesn't speak english. Before I had a very bussy life, I worked, I went every where with my doughter and I didn't have any baby. I miss my family a lot. I have one of my brothers here, but can't be with him all the time.
Anyway I'm very happy here, I got my own family and every day I try to be more and more happy.
