Today is last lesson. I like Michele. She is so cute, funny, and kind. Her lesson is also funny. After class, we took a picture with Michele. And we played “Rakau”. This is Maori’s playing. It is often practiced by women in concerts who throw the sticks to each other in time to music. I played it with Shiori, Natsuki and Mana. We were good at “Rakau”. Teacher said we are great performer. After school, we went to Auckland Zoo by bus. We saw two Kiwi birds for the first time. It was so cute. I like Kiwi. And then we saw elephant, lion, tiger, giraffes, zebra ostrich, deer, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, peahen, monkeys, and so on. There are many animals there. And little smelly. Birds are a free-range. So, when we saw a peahen, we were surprised. And Mana and I swop a pendant. It’s made of Paua shell. And kinberley gave us something. She gave me a ring. It’s made of Paua shell, too. We made friend with her at Unitec. She’s very shy. She will come to Japan as a student next September. I’m waiting for you come to Japan.
Today is last when I can spend in New Zealand. Every day was too fast. I had a lot of good experience. Today, we did speech. I was a little nervous. As a result, my speech was so-so. And I received a graduation certificate. And then, we ate lunch at the restaurant as graduation lunch. It was yummy. After lunch, Tina and Christene gave us a soup. It’s good smell. And we received a picture which is Harbor Bridge walking. When Yvonne spoke to us, she was cry. So, I wept in sympathy. I was cry. I was sad. Michele embraced me. I love Michele and Yvonne. They are good and kind teacher. I don’t want to go back to Japan. And when I ate dinner with my host family, they gave me a present. It is ornament of Tiki. I love Tiki. So, I was very happy. And my plate is special plate. I was so happy. After dinner, we took a picture. It was good. And we watched a movie. This story is so good. I could learn about New Zealand for month. I want to go back to New Zealand surely. New Zealander is so kind. I love New Zealand and Auckland. I want to say “Thank you” all people who I met in New Zealand.

We played 10 pin bowling and Laser strike. It was so exciting. My score is 109. I am best player. My score is the highest all of my class. And then, we did Laser strike. It was so exciting. I want to play again. I am red team. We have to shoot a gun to green team. We wore special best. We entered special dark room. Then we shoot the enemy. I run away, hid, shoot, and run again and again. I sweat, but so funny. Our team was defeated, but I’m best shooter in my team. I like such a game. I had a good time. And I could speak about a lot of things with my host family today. In New Zealand, people have holidays for 4 weeks at Christmas. It is so good.
We talked with student. They study Japanese. So, at first we speak only English for 5 minutes. And then, we speak only Japanese for 5 minutes. After all, people change and speak again. Their Japanese is very good. And they know a lot of Japanese culture. For example, movies, drama, animation, traditional culture and so on. They said Japanese is easier than English. Unbelievable!! I made some friends from Fiji. They are very friendly. And our friend’s kimbarlry talked with us. She is shy. But she is very clever. She can speak Japanese and write Kanji. That’s great. We always eat lunch at café together. After school, we prepared for presentation. And we will go to Auckland Zoo tomorrow. I want to see a Kiwi bird. I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of animals there.

We went to Victoria Park Market. This is close to downtown. We bought some souvenirs. Originally, Victoria Park market was cleaning factory. There look just as it did in the old days. There are a lot of shops now. And we moved to downtown. We ate lunch. But, it was tastes awful. It is important for us to learn by experience. Then, I went back home. At dinner, we ate meat loaf. After dinner, I ate goody goody gum drop ice cream. I had it for the first time. It was so good. I like it. When I talk Jack, I said I will go back to Japan in a week. Then Jack looks sad. I’m sad, too. Jack is good boy. I love you. He is a meticulous nature, clever and so kind. When I go back to home, he asks me to play. He is full of vitality boy. He is cute. His brother is Riley. He always makes a mistake. It’s my name. Please remember my name.
We went to Harbor Bridge. We did Harbor Bridge walking. I’m scared of high place. It is so crazy. But, it’s fine today, so it’s beautiful scenery. We could watch sea birds, ship, sky tower, ocean and so on. When we climbed at the bridge, drivers waved to us. Kiwis are so kind. Then, we watched a bungee jumping from a close distance. It’s crazy! I can’t do it in my whole life. And we were interview by announcer. We were taken by TV camera. The announcer was so cute. We had a good time. But, I never had such a experience in the future. And we ate subway for lunch. Today is meatball day. It is so yummy. I became fat. I have double chin.

We went to sky tower tonight. We watched night view from sky tower. So beautiful. We had a good time there. We took many pictures. And we ate Korean food. It was delicious. And we looked a sky jump. It looks so frightening. I hate a high place. I am a few of heights. So, I can’t ride in a life time.
At class, we heard teacher’s story. Then, we played card game. We had a good time. We had fun everything. We took a composite photograph. It is so good. It cost $4!
Mana, Mana’s host mother and I went to Mt. Eden this morning. It was so beautiful view. We could watch view three hundred and sixty degrees. And we went to market. There are a lot of street vendor’s stalls. We ate cheese and ham roll. It is yummy. But, I want to eat waffle. After that, we went to one tree hill. There are many sheep and lambs. It is so cute. It is very small. Spring has come. We took many pictures. When I took picture, we met Shiori and Natsuki by chance. It is so funny. We could watch sky tower, Harbor Bridge, sheep, cow and so on. There is a big statue. It is Maori. Then, we moved New Market. We ate chicken ramen and yakisoba. It was different from Japanese one. But, it was delicious. And we did window shopping. We bought a cookie. It is so cute. And I called my mother. I gulp down my tears. When I listened my mother’s voice, I automatically tears. I want to go back to Japan. But, I enjoy my New Zealand now. It will be finished in a week. In New Zealand, daffodils begin to bloom now. Because of spring has come. It is so beautiful.

And I went to Muriwai beach and ganet colony today. It was a violent wave. And smell is bad because of sea bird’s droppings. But, it was beautiful view. Sand of beach is black, because of sand containing iron. And we could watch a little seal! It was so cute. And we drank a hot chocolate. It’s so sweet. We ate a ice cream. It was yummy!
At school, we had an interview with Miora. She is teacher. Her hobby is tramping. She explained how to tools of tramping. It is very interesting.

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.

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.

In Auckland and Kumamoto, what do young people do every day? Where do they often go, and what do they like to do? What is coming into fashion in Auckland? What are the differences?
To answer these questions, I will give a questionnaire about young people’s activities to my host family and friends. I will give the same questionnaire about young people’s activities to my friends in KGU, too. Further, I will go or do various things with my host family and friends.

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.

I had a class today. This was a first class. It was very fun! I like teacher. And I made a mistake! I rode another bus. So, I didn't know how to go back home. And I didn't know my host family's house because I didn't remember. But, I ask a lady "Could you tell me the way to go to Kitchener road?" The woman told me to the way. Thank you for your kindness.
And at this morning, I didn't know how to ride a bus. But, I met a Japanese high school student. She told me how to ride. And she rode the bus together. I appreciated her. She is from Fukuoka. She said "I wanna graduate from NZ's school, so, I will stay here two years." I respect her.
