All of the above except the cultural adjustment phase, I seem to be stuck in rejection.
Depressed, anxious, increased eating, severe homesickness. Not wanting to go outside and meet people.
The nature! Beautiful flowers everywhere, butterflies, birds, exotic wildlife, pools, sunny days, botanical gardens, good coffee. a gorgeous country!
The people. Not nearly as friendly as their reputation implies. I have found the majority of people in Brisbane to be rude, superficial, and occasionally nasty. Very close minded and prejudiced. There seems to be a general feeling of apathy towards strangers. People don't help each other out and don't seem to care. Lack of manners. Poor sense of community.
Not that I know of.
Not so far.
