Today after school, I and my homemum went to the beach to watch the sunset. In HK, I could not  see the sunset like this easily because there are many tall buildings. But in NZ, there are normally two or three floors houses. On the sky of NZ, there are many long white clouds so another name of NZ is 'The Land Of the Long White Clouds'. The natural scenery in NZ is really beautiful!

     At the evening, homemum let me to the play the golf.
The New Zealanders are very good at rugby and golf! My homemum is the golf coach, she won many prizes from the golf compeitions! Then, she teached me how to play golf. I played it not really well because it was my first time to play golf and I pained on my hands. I'm not really like this game...

    Today, we had school leassons with the NZ students. In HK, we won't sit on the floor to have the leassons. But in their leassons, they altogether sat on the floor in groups. They have the Putonghua leasson also! After the leasson, I met many new friends and we talked together. Later on, we will have the leasson with them also!

    In the morning, we had the English leasson about the early New Zealnad and the history of the Maori people who were the first lived in New Zealand. Besides, we talked about the treaty of Waitagi and the events leading up to the signing of the treaty.
    After lunch, we visited the Sky Tower which is the tallest tower in the Southern Hemisphere. We saw the 360 degree views of Auckland on the main observation level. We saw the Cross Harbour Bridge, Volcanoes...etc. When we walked along, we found some interesting things on the floor. There are some window glasses on the floor and they just 38mm thick! You can stand on the window floors and they are as strong as concrete floors. It's amazing!

  
                               I standed on the window floor ( it's 182 m high)

    Today was our host family day with homeparents. And the activity with them was watch the film --- Transformer. The cinemas there are nothing special, they are similar to the HK cinemas. But, I was very happy to watch this film because I could watch the film earlier than in HK! After watched the film, we shoped in the shopping mall and bought some sounviers back to HK.

  
           'GODFREYS' !?                                         WAREHOUSE
    Today, we visited the shopping mall called 'Westfiled'. The shopping malls in NZ are normally same as the HK shopping mall. But, once of the difference is the shooping malls close earlier, they close about 6:00 p.m. Besides, we found that the shps there are really big, succh as, Countown, the warehouse. You could buy anything you want in these shops. They're  covenient for the New Zealanders. Then, I saw a shop called 'GODFREYS'! Oh, it's my name! You could buy the clearners in GODFREYS.

  
    The schools in NZ are big and almost have a big green grass playground. I love the school like this environment because I think it could let me to pay much more attention on the leassons when I watch the big green grass. I met many new friends today, they are very friendly and enthusiasm! Althought they are girls, they would like to be our friends and talked to us automatic. But, I think that studying in HK is better because my feeling of HK teachers and students are in higher qualities than in NZ.

    After 9 hours flew, we arrived New Zealand. It is winter in NZ. Our first activity of this trip was to visit the Victoria Park Market. You could but the traditional NZ art and crafts there. After that, we watch the volcanoe which is the biggest volcanone in NZ. Then, we went to the St.Peter's College to watch the Haku show. At first, I didn't know that what they did. Later, I knew that it's the culture of maori. Finally, we met our homestay hosts. I hoped I will have these 18 days in NZ with happiness!
