Rangiora High School - Term 1

Hey folks! ;)

I'm sorry I'm coming quite late with that post, Term 2 has just started, but never mind, here we go with some events and pics from Term 1! :)

Despite of all those different activities you can find in my other posts, there's one daily routine: school.

Of course I'm not just here for chilling, travelling around and having fun, nooooo :D I'm going to school every week as in Germany.

As in England, pupils are wearing uniform. That's mine:

Hobbitset, Surfing, Bungy Jump, Water Rafting and much more!

Hey folks!! (:

At first: Sorry I haven't written anything for the last time! I was on a North Island Tour for 2 weeks during the holidays - it was amazing! Seriously, I advise that to everyone who stays or plans to go to New Zealand. :)
For those who have no idea what it is: There are organisations offering 8 - 11 days tours to the South or North Island of the country. You go there with a group of about 30-50 other international students and travel around to see different places, staying in hostels at night.
During the day you do maaaany many activities together which are a lot of fun and you get to know the group muh better!
Anyway, I want to show you some of our pictures now!! (;




Arriving at the airport in New Zealand's capital - Wellington - passengers immediatly feel that they're in the country of the 'Hobbit'!

Adventurous Kaikoura and Nelson!

Hey guys!! (:

Now here comes the announced report about Kaikoura! Actually I went on two big trips last month, I'll tell you about both - one of them was with my hostfamily to Kekerengu, a village close to Kaikoura, and the other one was a tour with the Outdoor Education group from my school to Nelson and Kaikoura over 3 days. :))
Both trips were just amazing and I can't really describe the beauty of the nature and all those fantastic places we've seen!! That's why I'll mostly show you our pictures in this post.


- Startig with the trip to Kekerengu:

My first time in Rangiora, Christchurch

This is Maori for "Hello"!

It's been six weeks now since I am here, in New Zealand. Unbelievable!! I feel like I've only stayed one week in this country - time passes soo quickly!
That's why I'd like to give you an update of my first month in Rangiora, the village I live in.

Welcome to Rangiora!

NEW ZEALAND! - Arrival & Preparation Week in Wellington

Hey guys!

Finally arrived in the land of the long white cloud - Aotearoa (Maori for "New Zealand")!!! :)
Can't believe that I am really here, after all this waiting and doing my favourite activity: counting days. Everything's new, everything we do seems exciting, fantastic - unreal.

Welcome to China!

So folks, now I can finally give you a report on my exciting trip to China!! :)

I've been back since the 16th of January and I admit that those impression still have a big influence on me and I'm sure they'll stay for a long time! The things we've seen, experienced and felt were really new for us and unique. Some of the happenings are even almost undescribable, but I'll try to get you a little closer to the topic and our experiences ;)
