Superstitions in my hometown

In my country, there are a lot of superstitions. For example, if you hit a black cat when you are driving, that means you will be very unlucky the whole day.


People are very mindful of numbers in my country.The number "4" has the same pronunciation as "die" so "4" is usually unlucky. Some people don't like to use number "4" in their phone number or car number. On the other hand, numbers "6"and "8" indicate success and getting rich. This means you do everything very well.

Such as booked hotel, rent car, confirmed ticket and made trip plan etc. The first day, We got a city tour in Gold Coast. Although it's small City but we were very enjoy the city trip. We visited movie world at the second day. It was interested place. We took photos with kinds of cartoon character and enjoyed sight of performance. At the evening, we went shopping in main street that I bought some souvenir for my friends. Follow days we went to sea world and wild world. We were happy to saw dolphin and wild bird that gave me very deeply impression. That was excited trip.

About me !

Hi, I'm Cathy. I come from Beijing which is the capital of China. I'm very glad to join this class to get to know everybody. I first came to Australia about 2 years ago. It took almost 14 hours from my hometown to Australia. I was very happy once I came to Sydney. The air was fresh and the environment was beautiful. That time, I just stayed in Sydney for one month and then went back to China until last May. Then, I came back and really started my new life in Sydney. Anyway, I hope that my English will improve after this course.
