Why Oz?

You are not really sure you need to be writing this entry in your blog. If anyone has ever visited Australia, they will realize why working in Australia is far more sustainable and healthy, than, say, working in New York. They will also realize the beauty of the country, the friendliness of the people, the abundance of professional opportunity, and the positive energy generated by the non-judgmental society, all of whose members can afford a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. You cannot describe in words how much you appreciate these characteristics, and you do not try, but instead encourage those thinking about studying or living in Oz to visit for a meaningful amount of time.

After living here for roughly a year, your opinion is slightly revised; as of June 2009, you are fairly certain you do not want to settle in Melbourne just yet, largely because you want to see more of the world before settling down. Of course, that may change, and you reserve your right to change your mind without notice.

You also invite international students with specific questions to contact you at ronjon at alumni dot upenn dot edu.
