Welcome!

Cécilia is our new blogger at Embassy Brisbane.

Hi everybody and welcome to my blog! I'm very enthusiastic to start this blog and share with you my new Australian experiences in the coming weeks.

First of all, who I am? My name is Cécilia and I’m 24 years old. I’m from Paris in France, I have always lived in Paris and I’m sure you know Paris for its Eiffel tower or the Champs Elysées.
My job is physiotherapist, I've been working in a hospital for one year and I take care of invalids after their chirurgical intervention. I’m really enjoying my work and I appreciate also shopping (like all girls I think!), cinema, cultural events, cooking and reading. My favorite sports are roller-skating, diving and skiing.

So, why have I come to Australia? Four months ago, I decided to take a break for3 months to improve my English and discover a country. And the Australian people are reputedly open-minded, cool and friendly. I had already been to Australia four years ago, and I was charmed by this country.  I thought that Brisbane was a good choice because I had never been to this city before and it’s near the Gold Coast with its beautiful beaches and its good weather.

For my accommodation, I choose a homestay because I’m really happy at the idea to share the daily life of an Australian family and celebrate with them Christmas and the New Year. And I could practice my English and exchange about cultural differences.

My courses at Embassy began 5 weeks ago and I have already met many friends of different countries. The teachers are very motivated and always there if you need any help or advice. I’m sure that they will communicate to us their knowledge.

My first party at Embassy was for the Melbourne Cup; it's a popular event in Australia where men bet on horses and women vote for the best hat! I post my first picture to show you the vote for the best costume.

I hope you’ll be interested to discover Brisbane with me. See you soon…
