SORRY IN ADVANCE FOR STRETCHING THE PAGE...



Hi everyone...I see some familiar faces, some new ones, glad to see this forum is still going strong though.



I'm in New Zealand now...I've successfully made my transition here. Going to Uni in Wellington, it's an amazing country. I love it here. Here are some pictures I've taken that have been particularly spectacular...

Great pics! I bet its strange actually being the foreigner instead of the opposite.

Not too weird, actually. Especially because English is the main language, and there are a lot of similarities between home and here...but there are some times when there is some culture shock.
 
Oh hai you are from New Zealand. Where?



Driving on the other side of the road is big, differences in culture in general, nothing to big though to be honest. Being in school is weird...the biggest shock is going to a big Uni, at home I go to a small college....
 
Amazing photos, my fave is the one of the natural springs!

Indeed. Great photos!! Those are amazing. I'd love to visit New Zealand to see that scenery in person. That'd be awesome. Have fun and wow!
 
Another Kiwi here. I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying our beautiful country. If you need any advice, let us know and we can certainly help.... have you been to Parliament yet?
 
New Zealand looks cool...Some really good photos. Good luck with university hope you have great success!
 
Everyone needs to visit NZ at least once in their lives.... it's an incredible place and nothing else like it on Earth.
 
I have watched a few programmes on Tv about people moving to New Zealand and it looks a lovely country!...One day I might come to visit it
 
Looks really nice. Never been there...never thought it looked so beautifully. Good luck with schooling there, hope you're enjoying it.
 
Wow you've made me intrested, Good luck!
 
I agree with Jughead.



You also need to come to Levin (where I live - an hour north of wellington) one night, and i'll get you some really cool photos.

I was just in Wellington for the past few days. If I had known you lived in Levin, I would have paid you a visit.
