What do we know about Australia? It’s a country located on a separate continent, where deserts occupy almost half of the area. Here the most dangerous animals live side by side with cute kangaroos and koalas, and the Great Barrier Reef is located here as well—the largest living organism on Earth, visible even from space! But Australia is much more than landmark sights and endless beaches. The book “Australia Inside Out” is for everyone who wants to learn more about how life is really like in such a distant country—and to feel the unique Australian culture. Victoria Stankeeva, the book’s author, runs a popular blog about Australia @victoria_stankeeva. Having lived in the country for more than 10 years, she came to love it like her own. Victoria can tell in detail how Australians live, how they relate to religion, what marriage and family mean to them, and many other interesting facts. From the book you’ll learn:
• How Australian English differs from British English—and why it can sometimes be hard to understand what a local resident wants from you.
• Why the Australian sun is so dangerous.
• What ways there are to immigrate to Australia and what types of visas exist.
• Why lotteries are so popular here and how Australians also like to spend their free time.
• Whether life in Australia is expensive and what budget you should have when moving. And much more!
