I found the teenagers there, they wear less clothes even though the weather is cold. Maybe it’s not just in woolongong maybe it’s in all of Australia. There is no any story but every time i went to our uni library the air conditioner was running, the temperature was really low but the boys and girls wore very little. I can remember 2 things.. one is our house, we were renting a house to live. There were 6 rooms in that house but in the summer after a summer holiday when we back to Australia the house was full of cockroaches, it was crazy. All night I cannot sleep the whole night. Maybe they rent to other temperature people or they borrow some rooms to some friends. Out of the house the garden was looking bad.
