Going, going….gone

What it's like to live in Greymouth.

Greymouth is pretty quiet and small compared to other places i've been to. I remember in Taiwan there are lots of High school students who eat dinner at 7/11 and other convinence stores at 9pm without their parents. Here in Greymouth, we can see our parents a lot and have lots of time after school for other activities (I just stare at my plants). There aren't many places to do shopping, which is a good and bad thing. Good because for me that means more excitement when going out to bigger cities to do shopping, and bad because then theres not much of a variety of things to buy. 

It's very likely you'll see a few people that you know when walking around Greymouth, and my family usually end up talking for ages and even going to each others houses.

(day 2)

(1)
I would like to see Tane Mahuta because the walk looks easy, and I can see something special at the end of the walk. I've never been to Northland so it would be cool to go there for the first time.

(2)
Football Ferns

Black Ferns

Silver Ferns


I don't really like any of them, but if I had to choose i'd choose the Football Ferns because the sleeves look more comfortable than the others.


(3)
This is stupid because in the deserts it doesn't rain 3 ml everyday, it hardly ever rains. I have a cactus at home, and I have to soak it every 2 weeks. But let's imagine.

There are 365 days in a year, so 365x3= 9195ml/year

Hometown (activity 2)

Keelung (Taiwan) is my hometown, but I live in Greymouth. So I'm just going to do the task on  Keelung.

A special thing about Keelung is the harbour, which is very popular. It became one of the busiest in the world during the 60s and 70s. The fish market is also very successful. There is a museum near the harbour, which has information about the bay. I really like the museum, especially the model ship where you can pretend you are a salior on.

Top 3 Fun Facts

1. Just under a third of New Zealand is made of forest.
2. God Save the Queen and God Defend New Zealand are the two national anthems of New Zealand. (I didn't actually know this, I've never heard of God Save the Queen)
3. We don't have any snakes in New Zealand.
An extra one I wanted to add is that hamsters are illegal here! I was disappointed when I moved here because my mum said we could get a hamster, and we really like hamsters.
