First day in Australia 30/Mar/2016 writing - First day in Australia In retrospect, it was so exciting and also nervous to depart to foreign land which is located in absolutely opposite from my country. Sayings of some whites who I passed when I transferred air plane was kind of like those of aliens from outer space. Anyway, I got to Melbourne airport probably at 12:00 pm which was midnight. But I didn't see I could get to city even at that time, and I realized I made mistake to book a hostel from next day. Which meant that I had to stay up all night in the cold airport. Besides, unfortunately, I had another problem. At that time, I just lost my wallet including my cards, so I had to make new account and card which belong to local bank as soon as I got to the continent. The night was so chilly, and if I said I didn't shudder at all, definitely, it would be a lie. Finally, warm of dawn was coming, I moved into the hostel that I was supposed to stay. After I paid for the hostel fee by my cash I brought, I was almost broke. Though I was really sleepy and exhausted because of insufficient sleep, I needed to move before banks are going to be closed. First, I visited a print shop to print some documents I should prepare to make a new account. After that I was looking for a mobile service store with my heavy eyelid to create local phone number. But first shop I got to was closed, and though I found other one and struggled to get there, it was closed. And I just figured out something was going on the wrong way. I rewound my memory clips through my stopping brain, and I realized most stores I've passed including banks was closed. I asked someone walking on the street where I was, "Is today kind of holiday?". YES, it was. Probably, the name was Australia day any foreigner couldn't find out... So I just bought some white bread in a general store to soothe my starving stomach. Sadly, it was the only stuff I could buy with my rest cash...
