Report 5 Started Sydney life

Hello Every one, I've finally arrived at Sydney, the journey what is from Melbourne to Sydney was really good for me. because almost of the way is straight, and I could see spectacular landscape on my way to there, I felt authentic Australia. I'd like to report about it and new life in Sydney. 

(1) On my way to Sydney by Jazz

When I was told what I go to Sydney, I was so glad comprising the journey. I drove narrow, and short road everywhere in Japan. However, Australia is big country and has lots of long straight FREE way. It means I can go great driving for the purpose of migration. It was clearly my good experience. 




   



(2) New homestay 

There are 5 people and a dog in my new host family. Host parents, two boys, me, and Spoodle what is kind of mixed dogs. Every one is funny, kind, and attractive. I really think, the family is perfectly Australian one. Big house with pool, big garden, and cosy atmosphere. They have lots of things what I should learn. 

They took me Japanese restaurant for dinner when I arrived at Sydney. I ate "Katsu-don" after a long time. I went back to Japan at that moment. I really miss Japanese food although Australian one is good. 



(3) Working 

About working, I work at Scots Honda. Every one who works at Scots is always busy. Morning tea is for 10 minutes, and Lunch time is just for 30 minutes. And the job contents are changed compared to when I was in Melbourne. the job was basic and not really difficult. However, My brain is about to spark because the contents in Sydney are hard and I have to do about them quickly. I really feel my knowledge and level are growing up immediately. 







The problem of this car was oil leaking. The cause was deterioration of rubber packing. So Mickey who is my senior and I had to replace the packing. By the way, he works at Scots over 20 years, really good man. 





In these ways, I spend a busy time everyday especially in here. I'll be able to grow up if I don't give up about them. I'm looking forward to my growth. Thank you.

Report 4 Technical summary of Melbourne

Hello everyone, I'd like to report the technical summary in Melbourne for 3 month. 

I graduated ELSIS(English school), and finished the working at headquarter. Every one who works at headquarter is really kind and taught me various things.

Especially about technical skills, I learnt about basic one from Colin and Denis. 

I mainly learnt:

(1) PDI(Pre Delivery Inspection)
(2) How to replace brake pads
(3) Install toe bar

I'd like to report these 3 things.


(1) PDI(Pre Delivery Inspection)

In these 3 things, I did it the most of all.
First, check there is damage or not, and check other things what are light and monitor etc. 
When you finished to check all things, the last task is washing the car. In that case, you really have to wash it properly, more than usual.




(2) How to replace brake pads



Replacing brake pads are not really difficult,
First you take a bolt of bottom.


Then, raise the caliper brackets.


The new pad is really different from old one, means the old one worked a lot.


After installation of new pads, you have to return a piston.


The piston appeared. If it isn't returned, you can't install the pads properly. 


You can push the piston by water pump pliers and a flat thing( I used an old pad this time)



It returned perfectly.

And then, returned the bolt what you took off first.

Finally, you conform the brakes work or not. 

(3) Install toe bar




I could help this task only half way because it was difficult for me. But I did it many times. 


I did these 3 things many times for 3 month in Melbourne, I can't forget the task and lots of memories.

Thank you.

Report 3 Graduation and started only working

Hello everyone, I really feel to past the time quickly, especially recently I feel a week is like a day.
In this report, I want to tell you three things. 

(1) ELSIS

I graduated English school what is the name of ELSIS. I'd gone there and learnt English for 6 weeks. I had a great experiencee and had a great time. I could make lots of friends who are from other countries, and learnt the cultural difference between my country and another country. It changed my mind and serious personality. 
Everyone who is from another country says," take your time". I like the Phrase. Because Japanese people are always busy, and have no room in their mind. Of course I had no one. But I came here, spent for about 2 month, and I noticed the great how to think. Especially Columbian has like that mind. I learnt it from them in Australia.
My ELSIS life finished and can't meet them frequently. But I feel sad as well as I'm looking forward to new encounter. I really thank ELSIS. 









(2)Working

Finished ELSIS, means started only working.I work with other nice 3 Japanese pepple, and good seniors who are 2 Australian people.They are powerful, and teach various things us about cars. Of course also other information.

Under them, I work Monday to Friday. 8:45 am to 5 pm. The job is fun, and sometimes difficult, but it will be a good experience for me. 



When I had a break time one day, I ate lots of donuts, they're very delicious, and too sweat.
Australian Honda has monthly meeting and like that confection. I moved the one.


There are three Civic(s). We have the task a lot what PDI(Pre Deliverly Inspection) of this model.

 This picture is to install Toe bar. The task is a little bit difficult for me...

Could you see lots of ants? Australia has some insects, especially you can feel a lot of ants in there. They make their nest even in cars. I've removed the nest a couple of times, it was the hadest job in my experience...



(3)Friends

I made lots of friends, and went to lots of place, Driving, For drink in the city, etc.
I feel fun, enjoy, learn lots of things, have lots of experience. It is the most important for me in my life. They have their languages, and English. So I talk with them in English every time. My listening, and speaking in English are increasing every day by them. I really thank them.



I really can have a good experience in Australia, everything is attractive for me. I definitely can't waste this time. I always think about in the future. and now what I do. In 7 months, I'll grow up and get to Japan as a great person. Thank you.

Report 2 About Great...

Hi everyone.

First, I went to the Great Ocean Road with the best Japanese friends.

It was....GREAT. I really wanted to go to there when I was in Japan, and one of my dream came true. 

I was surprised, the scenery from Twelve Apostles is very defferent from pictures what I saw in Japan. My eyes popped and it was about to fall down. 
On our way to Twelve Apostles, we stopped to the beach, also had a break, and in about 15 minutes We returned to our car. But there was a police car!!! At that time I thought I made a mistake to pull over at the "no parking place". But acutually they're just monitouring what there are dangerous people or no. 

And we talked with them, about touring, studying and working etc, they are so kind. We had some great experiences just going to there.

I've moved all nature in Australia, just now I'm in here for a month, but I really want to stay and live in here forever!! 

When I'm graduating in about 2 years, I might come here again, and want to take Permanent residency. But the way is so difficult. I have to learn, think and act everything for myself.
So I currently can do my best. They are learning English and car mechanic. 

Beforenoon I go to the school, and afternoon go to work. but  I think it's not enough,Especcially about English. so I study English weekdays, and weekends go out for meeting up English speakers.
They're not really Ausrtralian. Columbian, Thai, Korean, Chinese and other various people.

When you go to Australia, you can understand them who are from many many, other countries. But that is one of the attraction of Australia.


So in my case, I can arrive and I'm recognized as of Japanese here, I really came to like Australia. 

Thank you.
