Welcome to Adelaide

Assalamualaikum Wr.Wb

Hi mates,
How's life?
It's summer in Adelaide and I feel good.

I personally confess that this is the first time for me to write in this blog again after couple years ago. I think that it will be interesting if I share my first moment heading to Adelaide. It is widely known that Adelaide is located in the southern part of Australia. This is a livable place with outgoing people and claimed as the cheapest expenditure city in Australia. I'm beginning my M.Ed program in The University of Adelaide full-time for 2 years. I want to tell you about some of useful information when the first time I came here, they are about the weather, transports, and campus life.

Firstly, I arrived to Adelaide on Wednesday 8th February 2017. I was so surprised when I went to the parking area of Adelaide Airport, the temperature was very hot. My colleague from PPIA (Persatuan Pelajar Indonesia Australia) said that it was 42 degrees and there was a heatwave until the next 2 days. It was like the wind brought hot air and burnt my skin. People said that we should apply sunscreen in order to protect our skin from sunlight which can trigger skin cancer. After coming to my housemate's unit, I directly took a shower but I was sweaty immediately. It was uncomfortable even I frequently change my clothes which became wet, so we need to turn the AC on to get colder.
