My warmth home in Frankston

 

Melbourne's trains are centered around the city, and have routes in the southeast, northwest and northwest. It is easy for everyone to go to the city. However, if you need to go from the west to the south, you must go through the city. 

It usually takes 1/2 hour to go from my home Ashburton to the massage shop. Frankston is a 1.5-hour train ride away. When I was in Hong Kong, I often commuted for 1/2 hour to work, and I thought it was okay. But I have actually tried it, and it is different here. The trains were stopped running, the trains were delayed  20 minutes or cancelled , then the substitution shuttle bus were taken due to the cancellation of the train. 

Due to various reasons, I have to arrive at the train station earlier every day when I go to work, which makes me physically and mentally exhausted.

And because Frankston is on the coastal train line, I can get closer to the sea every day when I go to work. Going to the seaside after work is also what I yearn for~ By chance, a colleague said that they have a room in Kanakook (the station before Frankston) because it is closer Massage shop & closer to the sea, I reluctantly moved away from Xiong’s house

Sometimes you like a place, not necessarily because the streets there are particularly quiet, the trees there are particularly green, or the people there are particularly nice.

Sometimes you like a place because there are so many memories there.

It's because some important things happened there and some important people lived with you there.

I think one of the things I need to learn during working holiday is to say goodbye to my roommate who has been with me for two months. Although we know that we are all in Melbourne, after moving, we will have fewer days to see each other, and I cherish every time we have together for dinner.

On November 7th, after two months in Australia, I moved!

In fact, I moved twice. The first time was from Ashnburton to Kanakook. I only lived there for a month. The reason for moving was that it was not suitable for me. I didn’t like the way my roommates got along with me at the time. I felt that there was no warmth of "home", so I moved there for a month. After that, he moved to Frankston in December

I don’t know why my luggage doubled~^^

Frankston new home

The landlord of this house is a local Australian landlord who likes Asian culture. The landlord has learned Mandarin and also likes to receive Asian tenants, so there are 4 Asians in this house ~ including a Taiwanese couple (also the colleague of my massage shop) & 1 Mainland girls (studying & part-time massage), haha, together with me, this is a "massage home". We cook together from time to time. The landlord is also very interesting and likes to play uno with us~

While cooking, the landlord Christian and Zheng had an onion fight😄

they set up my room and add a wardrobe

The interesting thing about this house is that the landlord distribute the housework to the tenants, but he pays for it

The Taiwanese couple was responsible for cleaning the bathrooms and toilets, and I helped the landlord iron his work shirts for $2 each for a week, so I received $10 a week. Hahaha, I ironed them very straight! ! ! ! lucky! I like the warmth and culture of this place~!
