https://ameblo.jp/manamminz/ log of my staying in NZ for this winter (summer) ja
anyway i read my yesterday's log this evening, and oh no i found many many many grammar mistakes like "host parents IS" and so on. i have to care about verb in terms of if subject is plural or not and tence. i always have these grammar problem in my writing. also in essay, i always lost my points because of it. i really have to pay attention to that.

today, i went shopping with my host family in supermarket. there is no big difference between NZ supermarket and Japan one i think. but maybe NZ one is more bigger. yeah maybe it depends on the supermarket. where i went to yesterday is large and tall. anyway it was fun. then we went to Hamilton Lake to take a walk. it is really nice place. it has really nice view. it is really big lake and a lot of gooses and other kinds of birds live there.

hmm, today, im little bit nervous because maybe this is first day i didn't talk with japanese. im little bit tired. anyway this is what i expect to do. also i reflected on my staying. i noticed i didn't communicate with host family a lot. hmm… i should. why am i here? i want make this stay meaningful. also i thought i should accept heavily that my listening and voca is terrible. id noticed it but i paid little attention to that. hmm… to make this stay meaningful, i should pay more attention that and practice with foreigner in hear!

tomorrow i will go to beach or see kiwi with host family. i really look forward it ;)
and also it will be chance for english. hmm i will make effort.

at first i want to write about basic information.
i stay in hamilton with my host family and go to Waikato university.
my host family member is host father, mother, and 2 brothers.
father is english and mother is chinese (she is bilingual) and brothers are 5 years old boy and 2 years old boy.
host parents is really good and kind person! also host father knows a lot of things and he tells me interesting things every dinner, and host mother is really good at cooking.
host brother is really active! i gave them Origami as present from japan, so they always asks me to play it when i come back from school or even before my going to school. the funny things is in the morning, older boy shout something when he get up to call dad, and it is alarm for me lol

waikato university is really large and has maze. also they have nature like trees, glasses, and pond, i can hear the voice of birds in the morning. it is nice ^^
what is interesting about this university is we can find a lot of student from foreign country. Asian face is not rare!

today is the 4th day of my staying ( time goes slow! i felt i spend a week in NZ. yeah a lot of things is new for me so i can live a full life here. im RIAJU in NZ lol)
and today was really nice day! it was fantastic! because the class was interesting, we went shopping at city of hamilton and i found some interest things about NZ.

today's class was really interesting because i could acquire the new knowledge about sustainability society or ecology. did you know 75 percent of source is wasted? or 70 percent of green was disappear?
someone will complain about factory which spends a lot of source or produce bad gases. however we have responsibility for this situation. because of flooding of product, we tends to buy more more more and more even it is not required really. 1 percent of what we buy is really required and other 99 percent is wasted things! can you believe this?
I think to complain about factory or improve factory is possible way to make sustainability society, but the best way is to stop our consuming society like this. because if we stop to buy product the factory will be correct naturally, and only what we needs can be produced. to break off the root is best way.
this can be said in current japan too i think. it is possible to think about which energy can work instead of nuclear energy, but it is important to rethink our energy consuming society. reducing electricity project is done in spring and i felt it was enough to live and we wasted much energy in usual life.

after that class, we went on shopping at transport center which is city of hamilton. it was really really fun for me. what i was excited mostly is shops on street because i could find a lot of kind of shops, for example pub, cafe, and foodshop (oh all of them is related to eating lol) around house or university, i don't have place to play (there are only schools, houses and trees lol) so it makes me really exciting. also building of shop is interesting for me, because they are colorful and in japan, our buildings is just like gray or white. it looks nice buildings for me. Also i found that the products is cheap. you can buy some shoes under 1000yen! and i could find the shoes which suite for my favorite, so i wanna buy some of them if my suitcase allow.

then, i got on bus to back home. in NZ there is 2 kinds of bus, one is called Orbitter and another one is called go-bus. i usually use orbitter to go to univ but today i got on go-bus at first time. and, what is really surprising for me is the music was played. i meant the driver uses boom box to listen music without year phone or head phone. and she ( i think there are more woman driver in NZ than in Japan) sung that song or whistle. i thought how free or rough it is ! she makes me like NZ more ^^ Also everyperson who get off bus say "thanks" to driver and had some little conversation. i thought NZ is warm. atter i got off this lovely bus, i have to walk to my house a little bit however i got lost !!! i was really confused and panic, but finally i decided to knock a house to ask the way to home. yeah then i choose the house which i will ask then knocked. but they didnt noticed, so i knocked window lol yeah it makes them scary i thought. finally they noticed and open the window with smile. it makes me surprising because if it is in japan their face would be suspending or doubting one. and i asked the way, they told me how to go there. i felt their kindness very much. i guess NZ people is kind. yeah this accident makes me like NZ more^^

yeah! this is my fantastic 4th day of NZ!
im really sleepy because i type loooong with patience of sleepy.
yeah~~~~ Good Night! ]]> https://ameblo.jp/manamminz/entry-10938371257.html Wed, 29 Jun 2011 20:11:05 +0900
