Hi my name is Milada. I'm from Bosnia and Herzegovina. I was born 47 years ago in a small city Han-Pijesak. I lived there for 32 years, got marred, had children and had a wonderful life. But in 1992 the war started in my country and after that everything has change. My husband, my children and I moved to another country, Serbia. We stayed there for a seven years. It wasn't so bad over there, but there is not any future for our children and my husband and I decide go to Australia. At the time we had been waiting for the visa my husband had a heart attack and he died. That was a big tragedy and a horrible time for me and my children. After all those terrible things happened to my family I didn't know what to do. After I had a long talk with my children we decide to take a chance and came to Australia. We came in Australia 8 years ago. When I first arrived I was confused and frightened by several things because I didn’t know any English. I had never seen kangaroos or the bush before; I still haven’t seen the desert or kangaroos. I had never eaten meat pies and chiko rolls before. I miss the food from my country, I especially miss karadordeva schnitzel. The weather in my country is very cold. The country side is more crowded; greener and has more trees and has more farms. The city I lived in was Han-Pijesak was much smaller than Perth. My city has less shop, places to eat, parks, buildings and people. The population is about 6.ooo. The unemployment is not good. It is not easy to get a good education and it is not easy to get a good job. It is also not easy to find a place to live. The main exports of Bosnia and Herzegovina are minerals, wool and wood

My country a great place to holiday; I recommend you go to Mostar, Dubrovnik, Plitvicka Lakes and Adriatic Sea. It is cheap compared to Australia. It is difficult to fly there. When you go you must visit Mostar to see the old bridge. Another important famous and pretty place to visit is Jahorina the mountain near Sarajevo. This place is best in the winter because you can enjoy in all winter games. A place I have heard about but have not been to is Zagreb. Zagreb is important as a capital city and it is very old and famous, it is cultural, historical and pretty place**.** Now to tell you a little about me the members of my family include: my older son Alen 22 and younger son Damir 20. I have had too many jobs. My favourite has been in hospitality working in the bar, witnessing, and I love cooking. I worked the summer season on the coast. My hobbies are cooking, reading, and walking. But I don’t get enough time to walk. On the week ends I usually relax, see friends, watching movies. But what I really would like to do on the week ends is to go out and have fun, see more of the country side. If I win lotto I would like to go to my country to see my old friends and family. I would like to go for one year. I especially want to go to Brazil because I think it would be a fascinating place to visit. When I am there I would like to see the carnival in New Orleans. At TAFE I would like to learn and improve my skills in Excel, to be able to enter accountancy studies. After this course I hope to do other studies in accountancy. I enjoy learning about other cultures and people. I prefer to study in groups and I like to learn through practice and work sheets.


 * __Spring Break__**

Most of the time during my spring break I was looking for a house. I and my two sons are living in a small two bedroom unit. We decided to move out into a bigger house with more space, three or four bedroom, minimum double carport and air-conditioning. But, I didn’t know that it will be so hard find a house in a better area and not too expensive. Another problem is that so many people are also looking for renting. If we found something that we all like there is so many other applications for that house and usually we have been rejected. But, I still have a hope that we will found the house that we are looking for. The rest of my break I spent relaxing, reading and went to visit some of my friends.

This would be nice!
