My Melbourne Experience, and beyond: skyline

Welcome, and thank you for dropping by!

Hi, I'm Luster. This is a photo journal which started on 1 October 2010, to document my experiences as an Asian migrant living in Melbourne, the city that never ceases to fascinate me. I migrated here with my husband and children in 2004, after living in a few countries such as Brunei, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, and the Philippines - my country of birth. I have also had the chance to experience other cultures in my travels to other places such as India, Hawaii, Singapore, France, Israel, Hongkong, China, Cambodia, Macau, New Zealand, Japan, Austria, Norway, United Kingdom, Hungary, Vietnam, and Switzerland, and in the process learned that regardless of one's skin colour or race, we are all the same in essence, humanity is just one family. As a believer in one God, being a school teacher and now a nurse, meeting a diversity of people also opened my eyes to our innate differences that make each one of us beautifully unique, therefore teaching me to be more respectful and tolerant of others regardless of their beliefs and social background... however, being in Australia which is quite of a multi-racial country, I only know that there's still a lot more to learn...

It's been 16 years since we've landed here, but discovering the limitless beauty in the world and Down Under (the land of Oz) seems like a never ending journey, hence this bog is mainly to share snippets of this, my humble journey.
