医学生のメルボルン短期留学体験記

OETの勉強と病院実習をしに1か月半、オーストラリアに留学しています。備忘録として書いています。

5/2 test place, market, beach

I woke up at 5:45 even though it was Sunday. The reason why I got up so early is to do a kind of rehearsal for the test day, next Sunday. Therefore I left home at 6:45 and went there at 7:30.

What I found by the "rehearsal" was I should wear sneakers because the place is far from the station and I have to walk more than 30 minutes! What an inconvenient place!!!!!!! Oh my goodness gracious me!!! What a pitty my important "the last Sunday" in Melbourne will be!!!!!!!!

 

However, looking on the bright side, I might be lucky because I can exercise before the test and it could be helpful for my brain to work well in the OET.

 

Since the morning was my last Sunday morning I could enjoy, I went to a Sunday market after looking the test place.

There were many people asking shop staffs to give a discount, and so did I! Though it was a very challenging task for me, I enjoyed negotiating and it worked! I bought a lot of things for less than half prices.

After the market, I went to Flinders street and happened to find a THAI FESTIVAL . I was a bit hungry at the moment, so I took a lunch there. It was cheap and good.

When I finished a meal, I was worn out because I walked about 15000 steps according to an iPhone app. So I went back to home and took a rest.

 

Around 4pm, Michael and Joan drove me to Brighton Beach to show me famous beach boxes.

 (The fish and chips shop was run by Chinese family, and children were walking hard.)
