Kia Ora (Hello from NZ)


Wondering how time is passing in front of me so fast.

It has passed about 2 weeks already since I left Melbourne. Every time I see the sign of SUN on my watch, I feel its already sunday, only 20 weeks I have here, I should not waste of time here.

New life, people, friends and school.
Even NZ is a next door of Australia, similar town structure, languages and perhaps shorter flight hours from Sydney to Perth. It is still different culture, people and life.

Of course, I find it a bit difficult to interact people with new students.

I am wondering how should I explain where I am from, every time I get to know a new people in Auckland. Kind of complicated decision to say,

Should I say, I am from Japan? or just say I live in Melbourne,

I am an international student from Japan in Melbourne, at the same time I am an international student from Melbourne in Auckland.

But this feeling is kind of refreshment of my feeling.

This beginning reminds me a start of new life 3 years ago as I started studying in Australia, I was totally new, was not able to speak English pretty well and was a bit shy. My start was feeling like a hell, and wanted to go back home as soon as possible, like I was counting days till I leave Australia day by day. Maybe I couldn't enjoy time there because i was lonely, unfamiliar languages and people . But this time, I am counting the places where I wanna go and drive to.

But only thing has not changed much is my writing....:9
3 years of time has changed me a lot and I have gained a lot. But still English writing is difficult.
