exchange student<br />

from Australia<br />

Going on exchange gives me<br />

the opportunity to explore<br />

another country and culture<br />

and I am making the most<br />

out <strong>of</strong> it. At the beginning, I<br />

worried about cultural<br />

differences. Luckily,<br />

everyone here is pretty easygoing<br />

and I have managed to<br />

fit in quite well.<br />

I had an opportunity to<br />

perform the Malaysian<br />

National Anthem as a<br />

member <strong>of</strong> the choir at the<br />

grand opening <strong>of</strong> <strong>Swinburne</strong><br />

Sarawak’s expanded<br />

campus. It was a great<br />

experience.”<br />
