Australia Study Abroad Must-Knows! My Blood, Sweat, and Tears Lessons 😱🇦🇺

1️⃣ Filter showerhead saves hair 💇‍♀️💦 Hurry up and get a filter showerhead! After coming to Australia, I found that the water quality is a bit hard, and the situation of hair loss really happens frequently! 2️⃣ Apple Pay makes life stress-free 📱💳 Get a local bank card, link it to Apple Pay, life becomes so much more convenient! Taking buses and subways, buying things no longer require carrying bus cards, bank cards, and cash! 3️⃣ Novice bus and subway adventure 🚌🚇 When you first arrive, make sure to ask a friend to familiarize you with the bus and subway, otherwise, like me, you often take the wrong direction or miss the station, turning a 20-minute journey into over an hour. Finally groping back home was more tiring than plowing the fields! The lesson learned in tears and blood: the driver won't stop unless you wave! After getting on the bus, be sure to keep an eye on Google Maps, don't miss the destination. Remember to swipe your card when getting on and off! 4️⃣ Earn extra money for a richer life 💸💸💸 If your studies aren't too busy, consider finding a part-time job! Australia's minimum hourly wage is $25, which can easily cover rent and living expenses. The leftover money can be spent as you please, buying things or going on nearby trips, isn't it enticing? 5️⃣ Beware of roadside birds, don't provoke magpies ❗️🐦🚫 Australia has many birds, especially the black and white magpies, extremely aggressive. When you encounter them, don't chat with them, just go around them. If you're hiking, it's best to find a buddy to avoid encountering aggressive birds, like turkeys and kookaburras!
