Compare differences between Health System in my country and Australia.

Bangladesh is my contry. It is a small beautiful country but it has large population.In Bangladesh Health care facilities are provided from both Public and private sector like Australia.However,our public sector health facilities are available but quality of this health care system not so good.Most of the public health sector uses old equipment also have some modern health sector. Private health care sector is good but it is more expensive.People who lives in urban area they use the private health care facilities but who lives in countryside they use public health care facilities because its less expensive. But in Australia most of the people use public sector health facilities and its quality not bad.In Australia, Government spend huge money in health sector.In my country also government spend large amount of money in health sector in every year but it is not sufficient for large population.

My Weekend

In last weekend I went Bankstown to enjoy a birthday party.The birthday party was my husband's friend's daughter who is four year old,a very cute baby.Her name is Oasba.

On Sunday, my Husband and me leave my home at 4.30 and my husband drove about half an hour then we reached in the house of my husband's friend.I went there first time so my husband introduced me with his friend and friend's wife.They are welcomed to me and told something about my feelings in Australia.They were very busy in prepared food for party.I passed some times with Oasba. She is very nice and friendly baby. After sometimes other guest were come.They are all Bangladeshi and they are known of my husband.So he introduced me with them.They are very friendly.When all guest had come then Oasba cut her birthday cake.Then we took some yammy food, which were Bangladeshi traditional food.We were passing whole time with a lot of fun, gossiping.We return my home at 11.30 pm.

My Holiday

During the last holidays(1th April-19th April),I was feeling bore at my home but one day was my special day.On that day I went Tempe to celebrate a cultural festival of Bangladesh which is known as 'Pohela Boishakh'.Pohela Boishakh is the New Year celebration programme.14th April of each year we celebrate this programme because it is the first day of Boishakh month and Boishakh month is the first month of bengali twelve months.So on this day all population of Bangladesh welcome to a new year with joy and happiness by organizing different cultural activities. On the basis of Pohela Boishakh,in this year, all Australian Bangladeshi organizied two cultural fair
on 10th and 17th April in Tempe and Olympic park respectively.

On 10th April,I went Tempe Park with my husband in the evening.When we had arrived there, we saw there were no parking space around the Tempe park.All parking space was already fill up.So we had to go Sydney airport car parking centre for car park and after do that we came back in Tempe park.The park became a lovely crowd place and I saw all people wore red and white coloured dress which is especially for Pohela Boishakh.We also wore red and white coloured dress.I think on that day Tempe park looked in different colour.We enjoyed some music which was performed by Bangladeshi band music group.Then we went around the fair and visited different stall.We bought some Bangladeshi commodity and took some Bangladeshi food such as Fuska and Chotpoti that was very taste.During the whole time in the fair we met with a lot of Banladeshi friends and relatives.We made wish for each other by saying 'Shuvo Noboborso' and passed some time with them with a lot of fun and happiness.We did back home at 11 pm in the night.

I really enjoyed that day because that was a great get togather of all Bangladeshi who lives in Australia and it focused our distinguish cultural features in front of all population of Australia.

Excursion

International Women's Day Excursion, 2010

Last Tuesday our class went to the Hawthorne Park. Actually it was international women's day excursion programme and the Migrant Resources Centre (MRC) organized that programme. Since that programme organized on the base of international women's day, so only women of migrant population were participate in the programme.

On Tuesday we all met with our class teachers Marion Evan and Andrew Burnett in the classroom DG.08 at 9 am. Then we walked to MRC together and arrived there fifteen minutes later. After arriving in the MRC we introduced with the management committee of the excursion and others migrant women’s. After few minutes we started our journey by bus from MRC to Hawthorne Park and we arrived in the park about 10.30. Marx who is indigenous person of Australia did welcome to us with smoke. We then walked through the bush with him. He introduced us with different trees of the forest and explains different usefulness of those trees. One of the trees of forest is "Grand Mother". I think it is title of this tree because it gives shelter to others with its long branch like as grandmother. Another name of these trees is "High rise building " of the forest. Moreover, Dead are another special trees, which has a special history of its name. These trees grow automatically after forest fire.

After long time walking in the bush we took rest in the rest house of the park. At that place we introduced with another person whose name is Anthony. He loves nature very much and he introduced us with some Australian animals i.e. ringtail possum, tawny frogmouth, green coloured frog, fruit bat and lizard. He explained about nature of those animals. We took a lot of photos. At 12.30 we got back on the bus and returned to MRC. In the MRC we took our lunch and enjoyed some dancing. After taking lunch we introduced with Anna who is migrant in Australia from China. She explained some problems, which faces all migrant population from her personal life. We took some more photos in MRC. At 1.30 we returned in TAFE with our teacher then back home.

I enjoyed the excursion very much because from that I did know about forest of Australia as well as animals.
