Tasmania
On February 19, I reached Tasmania and I met my host family. There are two sons in my host family. Pekochan is also in the same family. At first I got nervous and was embarrassed because a lot of new things happened. I didn’t know what I should do.
But now I’m already used to living here. I can go back home on foot from university, I can take a bus from the city. Everything is strange for me! It is so amusing.
In yesterday’s class we went to Bonorong Wildlife Park and Mount Field. There are a lot of Australian animals in the park. I saw wombats, emus, parakeets, koalas, wallabies and so on. The wombat is very cute; it is like a koala, the emu is like an ostrich. The parakeet is also bird, it can say “hello,” which surprised me. I fed wallabies and closed them. I love them.
After that we did a bushwalk in the Mt. Field. We saw an echidna, it’s very sweet. There are nice waterfalls and big trees. I felt comfortable there and although I was too tired I had a good day.
After school we went to the city to window shop and I was just looking.

Thank you. The university is so big and new. There are a lot of slopes. I’m always tired to go up. Any courses? I don’t know. Yesterday I went to an apple farm and garden. Its scenery is very nice and I ate an apple, it’s so sweet! I had a good holiday.

I’m also tired and always say “Yoisyo” when I go up slopes.
