FAR FROM CHINA: THROUGH THE EYES OF AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT

In 2014, Sabir Shirinov left his home city of Baku, Azerbaijan for the regional city of Wollongong, Australia to study as an international student. Along the way in Australia he interestingly came across other Azerbaijanis, and from then on they decided to live together to combat the struggles and pain of being 13,244 kilometres away from their original home. I sat down with Sabir in his Little Baku residence, firstly asking him when did he arrive in Australia and was stunned to hear his detailed and open responses for the remainder of the interview. An insight into a home away from home.
