Young people in NZ and conclusion
In NZ
Young people do a lot of things in Auckland, too. I took the same questionnaire in Auckland.
Some girls said they like to go shopping and beach to the first question. Other girls said they like to go café, hang out and so on. On the other hand, some boys said they like talking with their friends, watching movies, playing poker and playing game. In the second question, most girls said they go to friend’s house or shopping mall. Other girls said they go to everywhere in their free time. Girls are very activity in Auckland. And some boys go shopping, see NZ, skiing and go to mates place, and others stay at home or sleep. In third question, about foods, both boys and girls said they think sushi. Other girls answered they think hot chocolate, Mrs. Higgins oven fresh cookies and brioche. And other boys answered pies, hokey pokey, Turkish, kebab, healthier food. Next is about clothes. Some girls said formal clothes and cardigans, and others said skinny jeans and pocket dresses. And some boys said tight colorful shirts. Most boys said they have favorite brands. Next is about places. Both boys and girls like downtown the best. And other girls said they like New market and Parnel. There are a lot of clothes shops, general stores and restaurant in New Market. Young people often go shopping there. On the other hands, other boys said they like mission bay, Piha beach and clubbing in town. In the forth question, both boys and girls go to beach and do BBQ in summer the most. Other girls go fishing, swimming and camping. And some boys go to road trip, and others stay at home. And in New Zealand, they have Christmas in summer. So, young people enjoy various things such as party and exchanging present on Christmas Day. In the fifth question, some girls go to snow place or their friend’s house, and others watch TV or DVD or movies. And some boys go to ski field or maters place or watch rugby, others stay at home to relax and play PC game. In the sixth question, all of the girls who answered this questionnaire get some information from their friends. And most boys get information from Internet or their friends. There were boys who get information from TV or magazine one by one. In the seventh question, the most popular way is bus. A boy said if bus fare is cheap, he ride a bus. And when he go to watch rugby, he ride a train. Some of them walk every where. In the last question, they want Disney land, theme park, cheap clothes shop, ice skate link, more parks, fun stuff for teenagers, beer garden, department store such as Mitsukoshi and so on.
In Auckland, I went to a lot of places. For example, I went to sky tower twice. My friends and I went to there at night. So, we could see a beautiful night view. And there were a lot of Japanese restaurant in Auckland. There were many young people there and they used chopsticks well. Then I went to a bar called Kingslander. There were many young people there. And it was very specious and clean place. And when I talked with friend who is New Zealander, she said Auckland is boring. Because there are little exiting place in Auckland.
Now, I talk the differences between activity in Auckland and Kumamoto.
At first, when young people in Kumamoto hang out, they often use car. But, young people in Auckland often public institution such as bus and train. The reason they have to study three years when they get a driver’s license. But, bus and train is often late and inconvenience. And young people in Auckland often walk everywhere.
Second, we can’t buy fireworks all the year in New Zealand. We can buy it only for several days in November. But, we can buy fireworks from May in Kumamoto. So, we can enjoy doing some fireworks all the year. Basically, young people in Kumamoto enjoy various things such as karaoke, driving all the year.
Then, people in New Zealand go to bed earlier than Japanese people. Public institutions stop too early on Saturday and Sunday. So, young people hang out from night less than young people in Kumamoto.
And, I found the same between activity in Auckland and Kumamoto.
For example, both girls are susceptible to changes in fashion. But, Japanese girls often go shopping more than New Zealander girls. And both young people like to hang out with their friends.

Favorirte Fall activity
My favorite fall activity is driving. I like to go somewhere with my friends. For example, I go to Aso in fall. In fall, mountain turns red. It is so beautiful. When I ride a car, I often open the window. I feel autumn wind. It is very cool. And I take some pictures there. And I stand there for a while admiring a beautiful view. And I like eating very much. So, I eat food in season there. For example, I eat a sweetfish, sweet potato baked in hot pebbles, chestnut and so on. It is very delicious! And my mother likes a Pacific saury. So, I often eat it for dinner in fall. Mackerel pike put on fat in this season.

August 6 and 7
August 6
I went shopping. I went to St. Lukes shopping mall. But, I bought only stickers, card and book. I enjoyed shopping! And I gave my family gifts which bought from Japan. They seemed to be glad. I was relieved. And I have a cold! So, I feel sluggish. I took some medicine. I 'm tired. And I will go to Kelly tarinton tomorrow. And NZ is too cold. I'm freezing!!!
August 7
I went to an aquarium called Kelly tarinton. There were a lot of penguins and fishes. There were some stingrays, too. And we rode a small red train. We could see penguins at close. They were so cute! But, Mana forgot her hat there. She looked so sad.
And we went to Panel road. We bought chocolates. It was very yummy!! Panel road is very historical place. After that, we went back to our school. We attended a class. We did roll playing and we did shaping and melting. We had a good time. And we bought a bus card. But, shopping assistant is bad!
And when I went back home, Riley kissed me!! I was so happy!! I love Riley. Then I ate curry for dinner. This wasn't hot. Japanese curry and rice is too hot for me. So, it was good! And rice was similar to Japanese. So, I like it! My host mother said "Do you miss rice?" So, I said "A little." Mother said, "I cook more!" I was glad. Thank you, mum. And we should examine my topic tomorrow. But, I don't decide my topic.
