My summer holiday

 In this summer holiday, I went to New Zealand for studying abroad by myself for 20 days and stayed at my parents' friends house. It was absolutely awesome experience for me ever.
 I went to countryside in NZ, Nelson town. To tell the truth, I thought the town is so bored because of countryside but I was wrong. Nelson is called "Sunny Nelson" so it is lovely sunny whether everyday and people who live in Nelson is quite nice and friendly to anyone. I was so moved and really happy about that.
 During studying abroad in Nelson, I went to English school and met many people from various nationality and made friends. I was youngest girl student of the school so everyone was very kind to me :*) In school days, I enjoyed many events, for example national food day, Yoga, lunch club, hiking, playing card game and going pub!! Yeah, of course class also.haha What I most enjoyed was going pub with my friends. In NZ, 19 years old is regarded as adult so I was able to drink any alcohols and go to pub and club like adult. My friends often asked me to go out to pub and club and made me to be used to drinking alcohols.haha Maybe I had to refuse it because it is illegal in Japan but I was in NZ and it's okay in NZ. That's why I could drink alcohol for property legal.  I think it is quite interesting that there are many different rules for hte limit age of drinking alcohols depending on country.
 Usually, every weekends, I went to some activity with my friends and what I was excited the most was "paint ball". Paint Ball is the game to shoot the small paint balls with a gun to enemy like a real war!! If we faced to the dangerous situation, for example some enemy shoot balls very close from me, we have to say "Surrender!!!" so I always shouted it because so scarely and hitting balls on my back, head or somewhere was so sore. Yeah exactlly, after this, I have blues on my back and my arms and foot were stiffed. But it was so fun with my friends and I really enjoyed myself because it was my first time to play it.
 Actually, I couldn't improve my English than before I think, but I got important things from this studying abroad. It is friends from differnt country. We have many differnt first language but thanks to English, we can communicate each other. I think there is nothing more fantastic great language in this world. I really appreciate for English because without English, we cant communicate each other.I will never forget this feeling and this memory forever. THANK YOU NELSON, NZ!!!

  2. It looks like a happy class Tomoko. Actually I spent a month or so in Nelson too, when I was in NZ for a working holiday (in 1986!). IT's a friendly place. I spent many nights at the pub too.
