As you know I have studied English for more than five years at an university in Japan and I want to go abroad to learn more both English and custom of other countries. So I decided to go to Sydney to enroll to one of the local universities but I have no idea which university is suite for me and how to apply it. You are living this city so long time and you have graduated local school so you quite keen to those things. When you were student of university, there were a number of teachers or stuffs around you.

Good job Tom, some notes...

If a sentence is very long, you can make it more readable by separating the clauses with a comma.

Even though we usually use "an" instead of "a" before a noun that begins with a vowel, we say "a university" because university is pronounced with a "y" sound at the beginning.

About the sentence "... and I want to go abroad to both learn more English and learn more about the customs of other countries." It's a little confusing, but I'll try to explain. It would be totally correct to say "I want to go to school to learn both English and algebra." You can put "both" after "learn" in this sentence because English and algebra are both nouns. But because "about the customs of other countries" is a more complex phrase, it sounds more natural to say it this way... "I want to go abroad to both learn more English and learn more about the customs of other countries."
