Explanation:
Most of the people believe that living in Australia is one of the best experiences. This is because of the city called Canberra in Australia. In OECD ranking, Australia is ranked as 76.5 out of 90 followed by Norway, Canada, Sweden and US (Act.gov.au., 2017). Canberra is the city which is very small in area as
compared to other cities in Australia and thus this makes it easier for me travel and visit my friends (White, 2009). As far as the clothing and the lifestyle of the people are concerned, it has been realized that the people are very fond of light colors clothing with casual style of dressing such as cool colored shirts, t-shirts, hats etc. this dressing style is very casual and easy to adopt by an outsider as compared to the dressing style of Sydney and other cities of Australia. (Liveincanberra.com.au., 2017).
As far as entertainment is considered, the city is small and is far away from all such happening events that usually happen in the countries like Sydney and Melbourne but Canberra still manages to attract lot more crowd by many activities and festivals. It is considered as the city of endless pleasures. There are many attractions at the place such as War Memorial, National gallery of Australia etc. (News and Life, 2017). A very famous Summernats Car Festival is one of the most attractive event of the place. The climate of the city is very much favorable to live as the person can enjoy the seasons from summer to winters. It has been analyzed that the other city in Australia may provide you with higher standard of living but Canberra provide you with the higher quality of life. The criminal rate of the city is also very low as compared to other cities in the country. It has been identified that the assault rate at the place is continuously reducing. Canberra is considered as one of the best cities to live because the people have working opportunities. The opportunities are because of the presence of so many embassies such as embassy of Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium and many more. This enables the outsiders to have work opportunities and thus to earn their living. As per the analysis, it has also been analyzed that the education system of the city is very effective. It is legal requirement that the children have to study until the age of 10 (Act.gov.au., 2017). So, if a person has to shift there, he does not have to worry about his children’s education as the city can serve the students with efficient schools and colleges with great education services. In case of cost of living, Australia is considered as one of the most expensive country in the world and cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Canberra etc. are in top 30 cities. Canberra is still on 23rd rank and this suggests that the city is still cost effective as compared to other cities.
