Melbourne Australia review

english version bellow the pics

Australia a doua tara care am avut prilejul sa o vizitez in ultimul voiaj ,este o tara continent cu populatia Romaniei , majoritatea raspandita in cateva orase mari , Melbourne fiind al doilea ca marime si importanta. Nivelul de trai in acest oras este foate ridicat , orasul Melbourne fiind un exemplu foarte bun al standardelor ridicate la care sunt obisnuiti australienii. Asemenea tarii vecine Noua Zeelanda  , tara este o fosta colonie britanica , majoritatea populatiei fiind britanici cu un procent destul de mare de asiatici si africani recent imigrati. Gradul de civilizatie l-am mai intalnit doar in Auckland , cam tot in oras fiind foarte curat ,nou , intretinut ..etc etc ce n- sa vezi pe la noi si chiar si in vestul europei mai pe scurt , de altfel ca dovada a economiei puternice pe care o are tara este dolarul australian care sta la acelasi nivel cu cel american , uneori chiar depasind-ul , ca sa numai vorbim de fenomenul “criza”  care tinde sa fie absent in zona.

Melbourne cunoscut si ca orasul tramvaielor datorita numeroaselor linii care il strabat imbina intr-un mod foarte frumos arhitectura britanica cu cea moderna , cladirile monumente istorice stand langa cei mai inalti zgarienori din emisfera sudica , malluri uriase stau foarte frumos sub parcuri  iar parcarile multietajate se imbina foarte frumos printre turnuri rezidentiale. Fluviul Yarra , unul din putinele ale tarii despica centrul financiar si comercial de restul suburbiilor  , faleza acestuia amenajata traficului pietonal oferind unele din cele mai frumoase privelisti urbane.

Spre deosebire de Noua Zeelanda , aici lumea numai este asa de treaba , se pare ca si-au pastrat mai mult pe aici din aroganta englezeasca care ii face sa creada ca sunt mai buni ca restul , imigrantii care cer sau si-au primit deja cetatenie fiind un mare ghimpe pentru nativi din cate am inteles din putinele discutii cu muncitorii din port.

Si pentru ca tot ce e frumos costa si aici totul este scump , un pachet de Kent costand 12,8 dolari (damnnnnnn) , o bere cam tot atat la un pub,  vreo 2 ore intr-un asemenea local usurandu-ti lejer buzunarul de 50-60 de dolari. Any way ii inteleg pe cei care se chinuie sa-si ia cetatenia in aceasta tara , nivelul de trai , salariile oferite chiar si celor fara facultate fiind departe de se ofera prin alte parti. Am cunoscut chiar si o romana din moldova stabilita acolo care in cuvintele ei  “Nu mi se pare chiar paradisul pe Pamant dar am fost prin multe locuri si aici mi se pare cel mai bine de locuit” , femeia avea un sot australian si lucra la supermarket.

english:

Australia the second country that I had the opportunity to visit in my last voyage, a continent country with Romania’s population (20 mil), most of which is concentrated  in a few cities, Melbourne is the second largest by size and importance. Standards of living in this city are very high, Melbourne city is a great example of the high standards to which Australians are accustomed. Like neighboring country New Zeeland, the country is a former British colony, most  people of British descent but there is  a fairly large percentage of Asian and African immigrants recently. The degree of civilization i  met only in Auckland, almost everything in town is very clean, new, maintened  etc etc. .. what  you don’t  see in Romania  and rarely see in western Europe for that matter , otherwise  proof of the strong economy Australia has , not to mention the Australian dollar is standing at the same level as the  American version , sometimes even surpassing it, to hole  “crisis” phenomenon tends to be absent in the area.

Melbourne also known as the city of trams because of the many lines it has combines a very nice and modern British architecture, historical buildings stand beside the highest skyscrapers in  the southern hemisphere, huge malls are under beautiful parks and  multilevel parking buildings blend in  very nice along  residential towers. Yarra River, one of the country’s few , splits the  financial and commercial center from  the rest of the suburbs,its  pedestrian promenade  provides some of the most beautiful urban landscapes.

Unlike New Zeeland, the people  here are not so nice, it seems that here more of the British arrogance has been preserved that makes them think they are better than the rest, immigrants who require or already have received citizenship seem to be  a big thorn for natives as  I understand from the few talks with port workers.

And because everything here is beautiful , everything is expensive also, a pack of   Kent cigarettes costing $ 12.8 (damnnnnnn), about as much for a  beer in a pub, 2 hours in such a place leaving  your pocket with a gap of 50-60 dollars. Any Way ,  i understand those who struggle to take their citizenship in this country,the  living standards, even the salaries offered to those who have only a high school education are considerably higher than other countries . I even met  a Romanian from  Moldova region  who settled there and  in her words “It does not seem like paradise on earth but I have been through many places and here it seems to be the best place to live”, she has an Australian husband and works  at the supermarket.
