I love the working environment and hospitality. I have nice colleagues and supportive supervisors who always help and guide me to do my best. Adelaide is peaceful and not crowded; the people are friendly, good transportation, close to Indonesia (one direct flight to Bali) and an English speaking country. It was easy to settle in because many people helped me by giving information.
