It's arrived

Finally, it arrived in Melbourne, I don't understand what is all about, but kids loves it.

The "spinner" is here, I saw it for the first time at the 2 dollar shop. The price between 6-8$

Good luck to the parents who will succeed to avoid buying it :-)

Immigration - deletes your identity

I wasn't aware of that, no one warned me, but immigration deletes your identity. 

Everything you built over the years, everything you achieved, disappear.

You are totally foreigner, completely stranger, nobody knows you, you don't have a credit history of work. You are alone without friends or family that surrounding you and allow you to feel secure with who you are. The language isn't your mother tongue, sometimes you don't understand the slang, the habits, you even can't express yourself appropriately and it's tiring and frustrating to struggle each day again and again with so many unfamiliar things.

Lately, I find myself sing a song that I didn't hear so many years, it's called "Home again". 

One day I will feel home again. I hope that it will be tomorrow.

Why I love Melbourne? Air balloons

There is nothing more optimistic than air balloons flow in the open air. We live in a place that is very popular root for air balloons owners. Every couple of days early in the morning, we see them in the sky. Almost touching the roof of our house, above our heads. Huge, so close to us, so quiet, it makes me feel peaceful. The most pastoralist picture ever, deletes the disasters like there are no wars in the world. 

Visitor from New Zealand - Red-billed gull (Silver gull)

We went for a walk across the Yarra river and sited next to the water. There are lots of birds but one caught my eyes more than the other. It acts like he own the place, like he is the sheriff, so angry on the others, so not satisfied. At first sight, it looks so nice and gentle, till it open his mouth shouting and don't let the other birds get near us.  I understood that he is a visitor from New Zealand, he doesn't leave a good impression on the local birds. 

Recycled bench

Coles is one of the biggest supermarket chains in Australia. It's also the expensive one.  For your convenient, they give plastic shopping bags for free. 

I came across their excellent environmental project. 

It was better if they would stop using plastic bags.
