3-3. Trams
 It  was convenient for the Trams route in Melbourne to go  anywhere.Tram
 In the city, the driveway was abolished and
 the construction repaired on a footpath and
 the road of only a tram was advancing.
 Although there is no examination of tickets
 usually, there is examination of tickets
 unannounced. It seemed that therefore,
 almost all users had a proper ticket and had
 got on.
 A fare is not so cheap as AU$3.1 (= 270
 yen). However, a ticket is effective for
 2 hours,and there is a ticket various type (such as a Sundaysaver ticket,
 Weekly Full Fare ticket etc)
 In addition to the tram, the ticket could be used also for CONEX railroad and
 I thought that it was very convenient.

 been determined until arrival, It  was an uneasy start for me.
 I had an opportunity to meet many people,because I had a schedule which
 changes the Host family weekly constructed.  I was able to touch English
 conversation everyday and everyhour, about the life-style of the usually,
 manners, etc.
 Especially 2ndweek and 3rdweek, thanks to  stayed home where room was
