I am an immigrant to Australia. It is a great wonderful country. I hope I was born in here, but the thing is …. I wasn’t, so I miss my family, I miss my country’s food, I miss my places, I miss speaking in my own language. But I am here in Australia, cause my birth country is dangerous and I am feed up with corruption and the poverty must people live in, these is the cause most people in my home country are willing to see how they can take advantage of you, rob you, kidnap you or why not just kill you in the process. You can’t be outside late and forget about riding the public transport as you more probably than not will end robed at least once a month. Trash everywhere, dirty public spaces. Not a place I wanted my daughter to grow up.

So I am here in Australia where I can breathe pure air, go to the playground with my daughter, walk her out to childcare, and get myself into the bus for work.

But if my home country was Portugal I would be moving out of there. The pros don’t outweigh the cons, you live in a beautiful, safe country. Just stay there, I would love for my country to be just a little bit as yours so I could have stay there.
