15/01/2015 Today is the second clouds-free day. It means that it is really hot. When you leave building, sun blinds you and skin burns. But I like it)) We were lucky to arrive in cloudy days, because we still haven't burned, and it's really easy to do here.
Local fashion..is horrible.. girls in so short skirts and tops are everywhere. It's vulgar and tastelessly.
There is a soul of chinese or indian market in a moll. Lots of clothes or shoes are on shelves, looks like it was throwed down to all this mass.

Banks. To open a bank account you need in more documents then in Russia. We showes our passports, driver licenses and mi students ID. They call it - 100% identification, or sth like that. But in NationalAustralianBank you can open for a free account with a debit card for, and ask to open two cards for both holders. Mobile and internet banking are also free.
There is one funny detail, you can ask for a cash in a supermarket!
We searched for bikes all the week on www.gumtree.com.au and not only there. But it wasn't so easy to find two free-wheel or fix bikes here in Gold Coast. It's much easy to do in Brisbane or Sydney, but here we text several times and sellers told us that they've just sold. So you need to be very fust if you want sth.
So now we can get anywhere with our lovely bikes) From university to the beach is sth about 15 min. Oh there are so wonderful bike-lines! It's really convenient and safe to use. However it's prohibited to ride with out a helmet.
Unfortunately we haven't seen lots of workout courts on streets or beaches, and it's very strange, because lots of people do walking, jogging, cycling.. And it might be very popular if it was.
OOh and about public transport! It's expensive in here. From one side 30 minutes trip for one adult you should pay 4.80$ !
