Written by Fanni Vihersaari

If you have considered to travel to Australia, here are some tips to get started.

YOU CANNOT COME IF: If you have committed a crime or if you carry prohibited items ( that is huge list of strange things because Australians want to protect their nature.)

- Left-Hand traffic. Golden rule; Learn to go with the flow or you will hit every other person on the street or get killed if a car hits you.

- Australia, land of stupid rules. Remember that or they will give ticket for forgetting.

- Don't smoke. Or do and spend all your money on these ugly ass cigarette packs. Every pack costs roundabout 18$ so in euros its about 15e. LIKE.. holy shit that's like 3 packs of cigarettes in Finland.

- Don't drink. Or do you will spend all your money on booze. Like i'm doing right now. Well beer is kinda cheap so you will survive. Remember that you cannot buy alcohol from grocery stores, neither some restaurants. They don't licence for it.

- Animals. Australia is home for some of the deadliest animals in the world. Don't harm them, and maybe they will not harm you. If you are really scared of cockroaches or spiders, this is the place to get cured from your phobia. One way or another.

- Australians. Generally they are really socially skilled people so just go and talk. There is always someone ready to yak with you. Just you know, go for it! You got nothing to lose!

-Weather, Skating in general. Almost everyday is hot and sunny. So skating weather is + 10, because asphalt dries quickly even after rain. Sydney is full of great spots and gaps to skate. In town or in skatepark.
