Hi Zaidee, first of all I'd like to say that you must be a great student, at least you have choose a country that you did not know much about, instead of goes for easier choice

Secondly, there is nothing wrong to ask the questions for your research, research is not limited to search and re-search, otherwise the work will not discover anything better than or different from previous works, so what's the point of such research, then!

There are lot of methods to do research, questionnaire/interview are some of them which are quite close to what you have asked, though you should ask a lot of people, so you can compare and contrast the answers, and also compare these answers with information that you've got from other methods. Then, you can make your own conclusion for your works

So I guess you've already got some answers from Billk and Khun Don, which I am sure very valuable. I'd like to add at the point that Billk remarked in Q2 (I'm Thai), hope it is not too late. (for Q3-5, my answer will be the same as Billk).

2) What do people expect when they visit Australia?

2. My guess is that Thai people are typical of visitors to Australia - wildlife and spectacular landscapes are highest on their agendas. They might not expect Australia to be as highly urbanized as it is. (Wait and see if any Thais respond to this Q. I could be wrong).

Although it is true that the highest agenda would be taking photo with Kangaroo and Koala

, we do not really bother about landscapes. I believe we do know that Australia has amazing scenery but we don't really give them that much attention, i.e. we would not packed our 7-days tour with too much landscape, probably just 1 day, the rest is for cities, wildlife centre, theme park and shopping.

By the way, if you look at the Package tour (arrange be Thai package-tour company), the itinerary will be around the big cities e.g. Canberra for new parliament, Brisbane: for Sea World, and Warner Movie World; Sydney: for Harbour Bridge and Opera House; Perth for umm shopping I think, Then one of the day gotta go to nereast wildlife or national park (Featherdale, Yanchep, Nambung etc.) to see Kangaroo, Koala and other activities like sand boarding, etc. or go to see Three sisters, but the main point is to go in gold mine. They also goes to Melbourne and off to Phillips island for wine tasting. Oh, and they do lots of shopping, too.

In sum, we would expect Australia to look modern and clean. Has good transportation system (i.e. no traffic jam, or people cramped in Buses). Nice sunny but not-too-hot weather. We do expect Australians to be friendly and easy going. And we expect people to say Good Day, instead of Good Morning.
