From the first day I've been in Australia, I've been impressed on this country. Everything works perfectly, everything is organized, clean, sercure. The people is respectful and reliable.
One thing that really surprised me, was the public transport. It's amazing how you can organize your trip, without spending more time than necessary. When I arrived to my homestay and I was told how to get to college and the first thing I thought was ''I must leave home very early, because if I don't I will be late'' (probably it would have happen in Chile, my country). But I was completely wrong. The buses and the trains have a timetable, and always they arrive at the time that's on the schedule. I don't know how the Transport Minister could organize a big city as Sydney.
Another thing that caught my attention, is the people, and their culture. You can walk down the streets with valuable things, and be sure that nobody will steal it and run away. If you forget something in a restaurant, it is obvious that it will be in the same place you left it, and nobody would have taken it.
This are some things that make the diference between a developed country and one that is underway to develop. I'm sure that Chile is going that way, and we are closer than far from achieving.
