Discover the Hidden Treasures

When weighing up options to study abroad, Australia is likely to register as a top contender to all Sri Lankan students. However, before venturing to the land down under, a background study is needed for optimum transit.

Language

Whilst Australians definitely speak English, the nation’s unique take on their mother tongue might leave us Sri Lankans confused.

Australians have a dry and witty sense of humour. Conversation is infused with sarcasm and irony. Sometimes misunderstood as being crude, it usually just the unique style of language.

Once you have got accustomed to the nuances of the languages, you might find yourself cracking a joke in response!

Do As the Locals Do

Whilst Australia’s stunning landscapes are a must-see for any international student, 89% of Australians live in urban areas. Therefore, most do not or have not travelled to the unique, unruly deserts or bush lands.

Australia is filled with the most unexpected wonders. From local hot-spots, pop up restaurants, or a spindly city alleyway, you will continuously find something new.

Australian cities are known for being quite expensive, so it can be a challenge to maximize on the international experience. While the places that are often featured are quite expensive, multitude of the places of more modest places to eat, drink and be merry is available. The secret to find these hidden treasures are to see where the locals congregate and go to!
