- G'day, mate! This is the Gold Coast!
My name is Cory and I'm an international student from Japan.
To me, the Gold Coast is safe and welcoming and interesting and fun.
The Gold Coast has beautiful beaches. It's a very beautiful place.
I didn't know, like, Australians are very kind and very nice.
This is my friend Kellen, and this is Ashton. Come on, guys!
I made a lot of friends when I came to Robina State High School.
My favourite sport is basketball.
Australian people like playing rugby, or basketball, or playing golf.
Being on the Gold Coast makes me feel so confident.
I love going to school. My teacher is very nice to me.
Some teachers can speak Japanese a lot.
- It is such a joy to work with Cory.
Cory is just a little whirlwind.
His face just lights up when you offer him anything.
He wants to experience everything.
There's just so much the Gold Coast has got to offer.
The world-renowned beaches, the amazing hinterland.
We have world-class universities here on the Gold Coast.
All of the theme parks. The great shopping centres.
In Cory's case, he really wants to experience the fashion stuff.
Sometimes I'm going to shopping with my homestay sister. She's Rhianna.
Are these cool? - Yeah, that's pretty cool.
- I wanna be a fashion model because I love fashion.
I just wanna tell everyone what fashion is like.
- We're shopping every weekend.
I think shopping's his life, cos he's such into fashion.
We couldn't believe that he went and bought gold shoes, to be honest.
It was just really, "Oh, gosh!" But, yeah, he's got style.
- My homestay family is very nice.
I feel so safe eating dinner with my family
and, like, talking to my sister and brother.
What is for dinner today? - I think it's spaghetti bolognese.
- Mm! Sounds yummy!
In Japan, they have a small steak.
But in Australia, they have a very big steak.
So it makes me fat.
- Cory's hilarious.
Sometimes you'll just see him around the house and he'll be dancing,
or singing, he's so funny, and he loves just doing everything.
- The Gold Coast has a lot of amazing animals.
And I saw kangaroos. It's so cool.
I met koalas today.
And I just hugged.
Oh, my God!
- Look at that. How's that? - That's so cool.
It's like my baby. - Yeah.
- It's just nice to see that reaction of someone
when they haven't experienced something before.
But when you see him experience it for the first time, it's so exciting.
- It's moving!
- We're sharing the lives of these students, influencing these kids
to be global citizens in the future.
And we're doing it through sharing the love of the Gold Coast.
And let's face it, it's an amazing place to live.
- When I go back to Japan, I take memories for, like, beautiful beach
and beautiful my family, my homestay family,
and my friends.
I'm gonna tell everyone, like,
"Come to Australia or the Gold Coast."
Did it! (LAUGHS)
