Every weekends, there is a market in front of The Arts Centre. And in the old building, about 40 gift shops sell colorful Kiwi local goods. I bought a wool muffler, honey, and flower's oil. Too much? But it was cheaper than Japan! I think all things were homemade.

Hagley Park is like Central Park in New York City. It is very huge and there are museums, flower gardens, and so on. When I visit the rose garden, I noticed a wedding couple were making funny pose. And then a lady who had a camera asked them to smile more. You got it? I don't know they really wanted it.

In New Zealand, we can try a lot of activities by the great nature. Jet Boating is one of those. I and another costumers(all Japanese girls) rode a jet boat and run fast on the river. It was like riding a motorbike. However it was a little boring for me. It might be better if it had been sunny or on the fall. As another girls said nice to each other, that is because I just want thrill too much, maybe?

Some costumers tried Horse Riding on our way to city. I could see sheep out of the window of ban drying my wet clothes.

10 km far from city, there is the beautiful sea. I could see a lot of bright stars near here. I was so impressed because we can't see stars so much in Tokyo. New Zealand has many things I can't feel in my busy life in Tokyo. Beautiful nature, fresh food, and friendly people......
