University of Melbourne

Today, I want to share couple things that you should expect if you are traveling to Melbourne (Australia) and also some experience I got so far from the University of Melbourne. First, the weather; the weather here is not as cold as Penn. Since I arrived here, which was early July, the coldest that I’ve ever experienced is only 3 degree Celsius, while as we know, State College can reach -20 degree Celsius. So it’s quite nice here. However, expect the unexpected rain and wind!

The city overall is very enjoyable. The main transportation we use here is trams, even though they also have trains and buses. Trams, as we know, are slow, but they are very convenient. Melbourne also allow their people to rent a public bike that they can return at any ‘bike station’. Here are some pictures:

However, beware pedestrian! The cop here fine people for jaywalking and crossing when the red light is blinking. The fine costs about 70 bucks. Yes, it’s pretty high, unfortunately.

Well, so far these are the things that I noticed. Cheers.
