Last year, I had my first trip to New Zealand. I met quite a lot of nice people there. I
made acquaintances with Jenny, Harry, Joseph, Rexi, and Bryan. They introduced me to
their families. We had barbeque times in Rexi’s and Joseph’s houses. Joseph and Jenny are
brother and sister while Rexi and Bryan are twins.
I found sheep almost everywhere in New Zealand. The tranquil meadow where sheep
grazed always appeared in my mind every time I went to sleep. Jenny’s father had a lot of
sheep and he showed me his wool cutting machinery, which he used to collect the sheep’s
fur before processing it into wool thread.
For some people, touring is a relaxing experience. Yet, for me, it is completely the
opposite. I had spent time more than 24 hours in the same clothes with greasy hair and 3
hours of sleep. I would rather have travelled from Auckland to Milford Sound in an easier
