I fall in love with this friendly, easygoing and laid-back city -- Brisbane 
Australian people are really friendly to the strangers. Especially the people in Brisbane and Gold Coast, they are just so easygoing and friendly to help the people from outside worlds. First time going through the customs in Gold Coast, the customs officers whom I saw in the airport were all work strictly meanwhile they also eased my tension while I was going through the customs. They don't have that arrogant attitudes toward people, instead they're very friendly,easy-going and polite to weclome us, the outsiders.
I've been here for a week. So far, I feel the people in this city are just so friendly, and free to talk. I just feel so comfortable and easy talking with them whoever i meet on the streets. Everytime when I was trying to explore this city, I got lost or my friend lost her handbag. The locals here were just so nice to help us out. ( it is a long story to talk about the lost handbag story)
There are dozens of Taiwanese backpackers here. Most of them don't speak English well. My travel partners don't speak English,either. So a lot of time, I help them doing the translation, helping them to communicate with the people here. Somehow, i really enjoy doing this "translation job" for them. When it comes to the evening, I become their English teacher. Do you know what nickname that they gave me?
They like to call me "teacher" 
I was an English teacher for children in Taiwan, but i just didn't expect that I am still an English teacher+translator for the Taiwanese backpackers in Australia. The Taiwanese backpackers staying in the share house with me here all have their own talents on something else.
Some of them are good at cooking. So no surprises, they just become our cooks, or our moms making meals to feed us. How can I live without them~~
Some of them are good at computer. Thanks them saving my laptop after being attacked by virus
Some of them are good at money. Therefore, I will never mess up counting money.
and some of them are just joy of life. They have talent to make people feel happy. 
All over all, They are bunch of considerate people with SWEET hearts
. We help and care each another. We are like a big family here.
Because of them, i had fun here, i started to get to know about this city, Brisbane and the locals as well as getting used to the life here . They gave me courage to stay here!
I don't know how much longer we will still stay together.........I know someday we will say "goodbye", and separate to go on our own path to explore this country because we came here on different purposes....and i know "the someday" will be coming soon....
This is probably my 8th day here, but I feel we've been going through many things together since the day we departed from Taiwan. I can feel that there is a very strong bonding between us. I am very very HAPPY and LUCKY to meet with these bunch of pleasant people.
PS wish me LUCK in Brisbane!!
I fall in love with Brisbane
