I studied English at the University of Auckland for two semesters. It was absolutely fantastic! I was able to learn English in an extraordinary environment. I was really impressed by the beautiful sceneries. I took the photograph above when I went on a trip to South Island. It was just amazing! I saw Mt Cook, one of the world heritages. I will never forget what I felt when I saw the mountain.

In New Zealand there are a lot of interesting cultures. I stayed with my host family while I was there. And thanks to them, I had a lovely Halloween experience. Some children visited my house with special costume, and they said 'Trick or Treat!' They were very cute. I gave them some sweets. That was the experience I could not have in Japan. I am completely satisfied with my life in New Zealand! (from M.I. 2nd-year)
