Ines

Hi my name is Ines- I was born in Portugal. I have been in Australia for 20 years. I came to Australia for a holiday and I found my husband. When I first arrived I was confused because I couldn’t speak English and because a have to drive on the left side. I had never seen kangaroos and koalas before. I had never eaten meat pies and sausages rolls, BBQ, chiko roll, lamington, pavlova before. I miss the food from my country, meat and espeto (squares of meat marinated in garlic, bay leaves and salt and cooked over an open fire). I especially miss this espeto meat. The weather in my country is not so hot like hear in Perth The country side has less people. The city I lived in Portugal is, smaller on the island of Madeira, the nearest city is Funchal is much smaller than Perth. My city has less buildings shops but lots of restaurants and places to eat not many parks buildings people. The population is about (number) The unemployment is not good to get a good education and it is easy and very strict not easy to get a good job. It is also (easy/ not easy) to find a place to live. The main export of (your country) is water wine tapestre bananas good on good water wine sugar cane and tapestry and lots of fishermen. My country is a great place to holiday especially Madeira island, on new year lots of people came from England, Germany, Spain, I recommend you go too. It has cheap food and alcohol
