Story
Australian is a better place to bring up my daughter than Japan, because there are a lot of wonderful parks to play and it is easy for her to learn English. In addition, as my wife’s parents have been living in Melbourne, they will be a great help to look after her. So we decided to migrate.
As I’ve already visited Melbourne five times, the journey itself was not so hard.
Australia is really good for my daughter to play outside, because of the large parks and wide open spaces. I was surprised that the cost of childcare and the private kindergarten was so expensive. Not only the cost of bringing up children but also living expenses seem higher than I expected. However, now we are leading a happy life!
