I am in Aukland now. I open the bank account and apply for a mobile no today.

YHA International

29/8

What a awful day for me today! I lost all my washing stuff. As I left the stuff in the bathroom, someone has taken them away. Besides, I booked a free 1 day trip called "Kiwi Experience" with my friends(I met some HK & Taiwan friends here) but the tour guide said we didn't have tickets, so he pushed me and said we can't join the tour. Afterwards, we asked the staff of the YHA, she told us that we don't need any tickets, they had never give tickets. It is so strange! I think it maybe because we are Asian. I am a bit angry of it. Fortunately, we can join another free day trip which is called "Stray Bus". The tour guide is nice and polite. I think I will never join "Kiwi Experience" again.

Ian, one of my Taiwan friends, he told us there are some free English courses in Auckland. As I had nothing to do here( I have  to wait for Lam Lam for 2 weeks), we went to have a lesson. It took around 2 hours, quite good. I can practise more my English skills.

And I got my bank ATM card. it is so beautiful. There is a famous scenery picture on the ATM card. Yeah~~

I met lots of friends here, Hedy, Ian (from Taiwan), Gloria, Gilbert, Peter(from HK), Toshi(from Japan). They treat me very nice. Thank you very much!

Ian, Gilbert, Hedy & Gloria, all of them have left the YHA International. Some of them went back home, some of them went to resume their journey. I am a bit lonely here. Peter will go home soon because he just sold his car last night. Congratulations to him!

When I have nothing to do, I usually go to public library. It takes 10mins to walk there. The library provides free internet service. Cool~~ And I can read Japanese comics here. As all the comics are English version, I can practice my reading skill and know more vocab. Not bad~

My roommate from England, Sarah, is so kind. She left lots of food to me. And Peter went back to HK yesterday. He also left a box of food to me. I don't need to buy any food this week, hehe :)

The English class was finished this afternoon. The teachers brought a lot of food to the class and we played lots of games. We did have fun!

08/9

Serene, from Malaysia, is a Buddhist and she would like to visit the Buddhist Temple which is in North Island, so I went there with her.  There is hard to find and we spent nearly 2 hours to get there.  Fortunately, we can find that temple. After we were back to Auckland city, it was almost 6pm. As Serene was very glad that I went to the temple with her, she invited me to have dinner with her (roasted pork rice! I love it! Yummy). After that, she had to get her belongings to airport because she's going to travel Australia. I'd like to say thank you to Serene here and wish you all the best for your trip.

Linda and Ann, from Taiwan, they left this morning. Take care and all the best for your job!

I was alone again! Lam Lam, please come soon!!! I've got a cold, not very well~~ It is so cold here, just 6-8 degree in Auckland and it always rains. I hate the weather here.

13/9

I am so happy that I just got a call to have interview on this Sat. And I will go to South Island with Lam Lam tonight. As it is very expensive to access internet there(around NZ$3-5 for 20 mins only), I can't update my blog frequently. If you have anything to tell me, please leave your message in my blog. Thanks! ( I don't have time to upload my photos, but don't worry, I will put them here later.)
