Australia from Within. How Do People Really Live in the Upside-Down Country?

What do we know about Australia? It is a country located on a separate continent where deserts occupy almost half of the area. Here, dangerous animals coexist with cute kangaroos and koalas, and the Great Barrier Reef—the largest living organism... on Earth that can even be seen from space—is also found! But Australia is much more than iconic landmarks and endless beaches. The book 'Australia from Within' is dedicated to those who want to learn more about life in such a distant country and to immerse themselves in the unique Australian culture. Victoria Stankeeva, the author of the book, runs a popular blog about Australia @victoria_stankeeva. Having lived in the country for over 10 years, she has come to love it as her own. Victoria can detail how Australians live, their views on religion, the significance of marriage and family to them, and other interesting facts. From the book, you will learn: • How Australian English differs from British and why it can sometimes be difficult to understand what a local wants from you. • Why the Australian sun is so dangerous. • What immigration options exist for Australia and what types of visas are available. • Why lotteries are so popular here and how Australians like to spend their free time. • How expensive life in Australia is and what your budget should be for moving. And much more!
