My First Day in Australia

My name is Ahmed. I come from Egypt. I am married and I have three children. I came to Australia in 2007. This was the first time to travel overseas. I had never been to any other country before.
I came to Australia by plane. The plane landed at Melbourne Airport at 2 o'clcok in the morning. There was a friend of mine waiting for us at the airport.
We shook hands and I gave him two kisses on the cheeks. Everyone looked at us. Why? I didn't know.
He took us in his car to his house. I saw that the cars parked at the airport were new. In my country I used to see many old cars. This is because people in my country are not as rich as those in Australia.
I noticed that traffic lights operated autonatically. There was no-one in the street to control the traffic lights. My friend's house was a nice one. It was different form the houses we had in Egypt.
In the morning we went to Centrelink. We got some forms and I filled them in at home. We don't have Centrelink in my country.
