Hello I'm Mr Gwon from My Korean Husband. Today I'm going
to talk about why I went to Australia and talk about my experiences in Australia
In 2006 I went to Australia for working holiday
I went to university after I finished my military service
I went to school right away
because have to get the degree to get a job
and also we think we have to have the degree
I went to university because of this reason, this can be excuse
but I didn't study hard
because
it wasn't the subject I wanted to take.
Because I went to a high school
that specialized in teaching civil engineering
I didn't
have many choices for university
I took the landscaping course
It wasn't easy and I studied for 2 years but
but wasn't interested in it so I didn't study hard
So I studied for only 2 years
I took a break...
I was thinking about what to do for my future
I was thinking a lot about my future
I found
about working holiday
I decide to go to Australia for working holiday
I needed to study English
I met some people through an education agency
In the beginning my parents said I could go
But I had to
buy the ticket and I told them when I wanted to go to Australia
Suddenly my parents worry about me going to Australia
"You are getting old so how can you go?"
"Isn't it too hard for you?"
"Finish your school quickly
and find a job"
I tried to persuade them to let me go to Australia
"I will do this and this
when I come back I will do these things"
I told them.
I explained to them for a few days
Then
I went to Australia in 2006 in April
I went with 2 friends who I met through the Education Agency
we went together.
We didn't speak English
the 3 of us couldn't
and
it was first time I went overseas
It was hard
when we arrived in the airport we stayed there for 4 hours
because we didn't know what to do
We were in Brisbane
We booked the backpackers
We stayed there
We met people from the education agency
and became friends
and went to the farm
The first time we went to the farm
6 or 7 people
went with us
In one week we earned about $150
In one day
from 8am to 3pm I worked
I earned about $30 a day
It was a failure the first time we went to a farm
I stayed with friends
and we didn't work a lot of days
In one week
we worked 2 and a half days
We spent more than we earned
So we thought we shouldn't stay there any longer
We went back to the city and prepared to go to
another farm
That's how I
ended up in Australia for 1 year without learning how to speak English
I got teased
by some people (other Koreans) and didn't make friends and it was hard
So I worked on the farm really hard
and I saved money
and went to Korea with that money
and went to The Philippines to study English and stayed there for 7 months
I studied English for 3 or 4 months and I went travelling
and had a rest and spent my time like that.
Then I went to Australia on second working holiday visa
I went to Australia like that
and I changed my mind and I changed to a student visa and I met my wife
I stayed in Australia and I came back to Korea
There are so many things to talk about. I went to the beef abattoir,
I did cleaning jobs,
I have so many stories to talk about
If you ask me about these things...
farming, abattoirs, being a student in Australia,
how I met my wife...
stories about about my wife and I
You can leave a comment in Korean any time
When I make a video next time
I will make them one by one. I also like travelling
I have been to many countries in Asia
and also The Philippines
so many things to talk about
If you are curious about things
I like sharing with people
If you leave a message
when I make a video
I'll make a new topic one after the other
I stayed overseas from 2006
about 7 or 8 years
I visited Korea once a year and stayed a month and left again
But I stayed most of the time overseas
If you are curious about living in another country let me know
Not only for someone who is going to Australia for working holiday
or someone who is international relationship
and also some who has foreign girlfriend,
some foreigners who have Korean boyfriends
and also Korean girls who have foreign boyfriend
if you want to ask something
ask me/us!
