My time in New Zealand... So far

Tuesday March 16th. So far visiting New Zealand has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. Starting off with arriving here everybody has been extremely helpful and friendly. We are still just settling in at New Zealand. There has been a lot of craziness going on at my house (parents getting jobs, getting us in school, banking, buying a car, and looking for a house to rent). Along with all of this craziness we have been able to fit in a lot good times like many beach visit's, climbing Mt. Arthur, seeing Golden Bay, and participating in muddy buddy, seeing some amazing scenery and eating at some nice restaurants. Hopefully everyone else will start to fall into place soon, but my time has been great in New Zealand.

We have traveled all the way from Canada, Newmarket, Ontario to come to New Zealand. Back in Canada there are many similarities and many differences. In Canada it can get as cold as -25 or even -30 with the wind chill and can get as warm as 30. The sports in Canada are also very different. The most popular sport by far in Canada is ice-hockey. Almost everyone there plays hockey. Another very popular sports are skiing and snowboarding, I play both of these sports, and my favourite is hockey. I also play basketball, soccer, baseball, and volleyball. The land is also much different. Here there are many mountains, in Canada there are not nearly as many mountains. There are also more big cities in Canada.
