Schmaltz on wry

I, like all of my friends here, have come to Australia, not because we have money to burn, but because we don’t have the same opportunities to pursue our ambitions back in our homeland. We come because our dedicated parents would sacrifice anything they could to help us to get a better, Western education. We come because we admire Australia’s diverse culture and its lively academic atmosphere. We come to accept and try to fit into a society so wonderfully different to our own.
