On 28th Feb., l99l, a group of teachers went to Australia by air. I was one of them..After saying goodbye to my wife and son, I began my long journey. That was my first journey abroad. We flew from Shanghai to Hong Kong to change to another plane to Melbeurne,the second largest city in Australia. From there we would change to another to Brisbane,which is the capital city of Queensland, Australia. We were exchanging teachers and we planned to teach Chinese in Brisbane for twelve months.
