I love NZ part 2
DAY 5:
Dear Diary,
The river was so cold untill my feet was numb for more than an hour and i was shivering like a mad woman.Today, I learnt more about the river system.The place we went had a lot of bird and sheep poo and i won't be surprise if i step on 1 of them.There were a lot of birds,swans. Next,we went to the farm. The animal there were so cute. We caught a guinea pig giving birth in action and the the dog chasing the sheep. We had time to feed the animals in the farm. Sandwiches were so gross...Last off, we headed to the plunge holes. Amazing to see that the force of the water is so strong that plunge can be formed. Thank god no one fell down the waterfall or plunge pool. Cannot imagine there was activity going on some of the sunday.
Love,Janice
DAY 6:
Dear Diary,
The school that we went for school immersion was so nice. They greet us using maorie because it was built on once maorie. More information on the school:
-6 years only
-Aquanis college
-9-3
In that school, I was a 9 graded! I had a buddy to take care of my me and not only did I know her but I also knew other student. When we presented them to our booth which is Traditional games,they had a smiling face and some who really wanted to game were so engrossed that they tried so many times but they did not gave up. The lessons I took were not so nice as compared to the sec 2. First,I had graffitis-slack(close to DnT). Next,I had Maths(Algebra-easy) and lastly we had Religious studies-boring but educational which(different type of Jews living in the time of Jesus). Next,we headed to Kiwi 360. There were different type of fruits blooming and their main specialty was the kiwi of course. I spend a lot of money there. We went to a different place to stay different from the place that we stayed for the past 4 nights.
Love,Janice
DAY 7:
Today, we went to Tepuia at Rotorua. The volcano smelt of rotten eggs but it cleared my nose. The volcano rock that we sat on warm our butts and it was very nice during cold weather. The volcano was so cool that it blows out a liquid. The mud was also cool. I went to see the kiwi(kawaii^^) but the sad thing is that we could not take photographs. Not only that, we saw how maorie people carve wood and make clothes using a plant(PRO!). We learnt more about the culture and I am more prepared for the maorie visit The culture have been cultivated and it is very interesting. Next, we went to the skyline. From up there, you can see the whole view of New Zealand. But the main purpose was...to ride on the ludge! It was so fun:).I wish I could go on the trice or maybe buy the photo.Going up using the machine was so fun(with Pamela) and we composed a song. I pity my friend who got bee stung. Luckily,it was very minor(imagine me witnessing the action). Lunch was super fantastic and cao Yummy. Last stop of the day was the maorie visit. The rittual was interesting(touching of both head and nose at the same time) and their welcoming was interesting. their singing was so much nicer and louder than our singing. seriously, i respected their culture but my camera had sound. We slept in the most solemn place. They placed their ancestors who had passed away. The water was super cold. I called home and I was feeling home sick. I cannot wait to go home.
Love,Janice
DAY 8 & DAY 9:
We had to said bye-bye to new zealand. Again the flight was super long. we arrived at Maxx hotel in Bangkok. very scary in some people room. Lucky for me and my room mate-it was not that scary. I was sad because..I GOT CHEATED 300+ BUD! people did use our toilet and one of the student who live next to my room got electrocuted but i was not so bad. The next morning, they had a wake-up call for us. Breakfast was normal(when you are used to hotel food). We went on a boat ride and we had shopping outside the entrance of the temple. I bargain most of my things there and bought a few things home. I also took a photo-shot as the ancient princess-cool costume. On the boat ride, we were entitled to feed the fishes there. They look very hungry and they were snatching our food. After that, we went to check in to the airport. We had 1 hour 45 minutes to shop. I went shopping with Abgiail but we went into the place where we supposed to meet 15 minutes early. I thought that we were supposed to meet at the wrong place as they came in 5 minutes late and everyone was waiting up stairs waiting to check in together. It turn we did not get scolded and it was good that we were early. Haiz...scared me to death. I sat with Adeline(Gerladine sister) and had 3 portions of lunch(very hungry) and it was as fun as the trip to singapore to bangkok. we chatted and steph J went crazy...My grandmum,mum,dad and my sis came to fetch me. As I was handed to my family, I am so happy to be home but there was one thing that I will never forget. It is the trip.
Love,Janice
