One month has been passed since first time I arrived in this country. It was Saturday morning, 19 July 2014 my flight with Garuda Indonesia landed in Tullamarine Airport, international Airport of Melbourne. Using airport pick-up provided by The University of Melbourne, I reached my temporary accommodation in Brunswick Suburb, one of the most favorite area for Indonesian Student to live in as this area has many facilities comply with Moslems need.
There are Halal Butcher, Halal Supermarket, Halal Restaurant (even some western restaurants in this area have halal certified). Brunswick is also easier to reach by Tram, one of the transportation means that is well-known around Melbourne as the area is also comfortable and like ‘traditional Australia’, not too crowded yet still close to the heart of the city. After 1 week living in temporary housing, I moved to apartment in the city area, which is very different compare to Brunswick. Melbourne CBD is surrounded by modern building and facilities like shopping center, office and bar.
It makes this area like never sleep even in the middle of winter. The atmosphere is surely different compare to Brunswick. However, the ‘crowd’ of city for me is helpful sometimes. Twice a week, my class end at 8.30 pm and living in the city made me feeling more save to reach home. Although it doesn’t mean that Brunswick area is not save and city is better, but realizing that there’re still some activities around while going home is much better than feel so quiet area like Brunswick.
