Immigrant

I visited the Immigration Museum in Melbourne's CBD yesterday. It's small but informative , with some very intersting exhibits , including some good interactive multimedia. It covers the overall history of Victoria, the raw statistics of migration, and many personal stories. I actually found myself feeling quite emotional there, perhaps due to an underlying realisation of my own immigrant status, and what a big step it is in life.
It also reminded me how lucky I am. My concerns and worries about getting a job, whether the exchange rate will improve so we can convert our pound savings at a decent rate, where to store all our belongings, how to keep up with British sport, etc. - albeit valid - are minor compared to those of many immigrants, some of whom arrived not speaking the language, who had little more than the clothes on their back, could be sent anywhere in the country to work, or didn't expect to ever see their family in the old country again.
Anyway, I can highly recommend the musem to Melbourne residents or visitors
