After coming back from the South Island I enjoyed the rest of my holidays at home. I went fishing, to a trapoline park, did some schoolwork and enjoyed the time at home with my host family. By the way I think I haven't shown you my beautiful house yet, so here's a picture of it. I didn't like to go back to school last monday and I was very tired during the first few days because I wasn't used to go to bed early at night, so I couldn't fall asleep until late. I h...

Hi guys! I haven't written a blog entry for a very long time because the last two weeks at school have not been exciting(I had some assessments but that's not so interesting for you;) ). I was busy with my friends, but I didn't do anything that is worth to be written in this blog:).

School wasn't too exciting last week, the only important thing that happened was that I could take the saw horse I built in building home. My dad said it's good work and I am ...

Last weekend I went to the Coromandel Peninsula, one of the most beautiful places in New Zealand. I have uploaded some pictures with descriptions if you want to know more about it; I don't want to write it twice. The other exciting thing I did was the International Food Festival onFriday. All the International Students had to cook something typical from the country they come from. I was in a group with the Germans because I was the only Austrian and I didn't coo...
