Australia life

Australia life
In land area, Australia is the sixth largest nation after Russia, Canada, China, the United States of America and Brazil. It has, however, a relatively small population. Apart from Antarctica, Australia is the driest continent. Its interior has one of the lowest rainfalls in the world and about three-quarters of the land is arid or semi-arid.The Australian federation consists of six States and two Territories. The largest State, Western Australia, is about the same size as Western Europe.

In general, I found Australia very pleasant and relaxing. People there have enough to live comfortable lives without much financial worries, but it is not as hectic and stressful as in some American places I have been to. People are genuine and down-to-earth, very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is laid back and pretty much anxiety-free. I have not been everywhere in Australia but from my experience of the places I have visited, I recommend this country to anyone who is looking for a place to settle down.

This is a panorama photo of Brisbane city where I lived. It is a city big enough to have all the entertainment and facilities, but, at the same time, it is relaxed and low key. People are generally very friendly and helpful..	Me and my friend's kids at the Wet 'n' Wild- a big water park on the Gold Coast near Brisbane.	At the Wet 'n' Wild.

Curtis at the water slides. He is afraid of them, but finally he did it!	This is him completing his slide ride.	The same spot where the panorama photo was taken. This time it is Brisbane by night.
This is a shot of a typical australian residence.	People do not live here in a grandiose way as many Americans do. Even when they are rich, their houses are still modest.	You don't feel a quest for money here as much. Life is slower and laid back.
In Brisbane it is hot for the 6 months of the year or more so nature is in abundance.	No need for dryers either. It is so hot that you can just hang your clothes outside in the sun.	Aussie, aussie, aussie..typical australian surfies.
Me and my friend's kids at the Tweed Heads on the Gold Coast.	I am participating in the Kriya Yoga initiation ceremony with the Kriya Master Swami Paramahamsa Prajnanananda	With the Master himself after long hours of meditation.
This is a Stradbroke Island. One of the closest islands to Brisbane.	You get here by the ferry...The civilization did not reach here much yet.	The water is clear, the weather is great, and the company is fun. What else do you need?
Aussie families spending some holiday time.	At the bar playing pool on the Stradbroke Island.	This is it! I have finally graduated! From the University of Queensland! It was a hard but a very exciting journey.
My friend Saul is a Raelian. Him and his friend at the Brisbane center 'diffusion' as they call it.	My favourite food while I am here-Sushi. I love going to Sushi train station restaurants.	Sushis are put on the train wagons and they ride around the room.
As they approach your table, you just take off the wagon whatever you like. YUMM..
