Begin a Life in Australia- J@nitha

It was a day in November 2015. I felt like, I want to migrate to Australia and I began to dream about a new life in Australia. I thought there would be lot of opportunities, quality life standards, prestige environment as well as, I believed that, it is an achievement to get a permanent residency in a country like Australia. Therefore, just after dreaming all the things, I went to my computer and started to search all the details related to Australian Permanent Residency. At the end of the day I was satisfied with the details I got and I was very much happy, since I found a way to get the PR. On the same day, I did not sleep till the late night and I imagined and dreamed about a new life ahead in Australia while rolling side to side on my bed.

I thought that, it is an easy process to the PR. So I used to surf the internet and I searched for prices of houses, vehicles, and even yachts as well. What a dream world was that? Most of the time I used to enjoy the same rooting all over days. Meanwhile I started to study for English language test. However, after six attempts I was able to manage required scores and then I applied for permanent residency in Australia. During these period I had to face lot of incidents, such as I had to bare all the condemnations, I had to hold my nerve. Eventually I got granted my visa and I can still feel the way I felt just after getting that most awaited email stating that I have been granted as a permanent resident of Australia.

On 07th of December 2017, I depart from Bandaranayake International Airport and I was very emotional on that occasion due to been apart from my beloved family. But I had a feeling with full of curiosity because there were few hours to land in Australia. On 08th of December 2017 I landed as a permanent resident of Australia and I was with lots of hopes new dreams. Although it was a happy moment I missed my family, specially my Mother and at the same time I missed my pearl of the Indian Ocean as well. I felt the value of Sri Lanka, and I missed the beauty of Sri Lanka. One of my friends had come to pick me from the airport with one of his friends as well. Just after we left the Tullamarine (Melbourne) airport I felt the differences of the systems between Sri Lanka and Australia, I felt the discipline of the citizen as well.

I cried a lot inside my mind. I wanted to go back to Sri Lanka. This is what all I thought while I was in the car heading to the place where I supposed to stay. After about an hour we reached to Glen Waverly which is a suburb in Victoria and I got my first chance to taste some Australian food as well. Again, I missed Sri Lankan cuisine badly. However, I came to my friend's place and that's how I initiate my new life in Melbourne.

To be continue...........
