About me - Andrew Cha

 


Hello, everyone.

It is nice to meet you all.

My name is Andrew Cha.


Last year, I came to New Zealand with my family.

I am taking my first sabbatical in  life, experiencing a new life in a New Zealand.

I have been living in New Zealand for about 9 months now, and every day feels fresh.


Somethings that were routine and easy in my previous life are not so easy in New Zealand.

It took a lot of time. 

It even took two weeks to install internet in the rental house.


However, there are also many new things here in New Zealand that I could not easily do before, which are now very common and easy to do.

Sitting on the right side of the vehicle and driving was very unfamiliar to me, but everyone does it here.


Maybe your life in New Zealand is unfamiliar and challenging, but there are also many new and exciting things.

I hope you all enjoy your new life in New Zealand.

    Yeah, everything here is different from our home country. Although I don't know whether I will study here after June, this is a good journey. Have a joyful weekend!

About me - Isis

     Kia ora, my name is Isis (it is pronounced 'e-zies’). I’m from a touristic coastal town in the northeast of Brazil, where people usually go on vacation during summertime. It is commonplace that people go for a stroll along the waterfront of its most popular beach, full of coconut trees and ‘tapioca’ tents. I’m very lucky to live nearby in a small and cozy apartment with my parents and our five adopted cats. However, despite the inviting landscape around, I also enjoy having a ‘home time’ with my pets.      I graduated in Psychology some years ago, but as I’m much into foreign languages, I decided to be an English teacher and translator. I'm still in the process of qualifying for it, and coming to New Zealand was one of the strategies I adopted to improve my fluency.      Regarding my hobbies, I take pleasure from reading novels, watching TV series and films, and hanging out with my friends. So far I haven’t been a frequent cook, but learning how to prepare more sophisticat

About me -- Ryuya Fujimoto

 My name is Ryuya Fujimoto. I'm 19 years old. I am from Japan. I was born in Yamagata Prefecture, north of Tokyo. Yamagata is countryside, and it is a peaceful and great place to live. It has many mountains and delicious food and fruits.  I like to play and watch basketball. I have been playing basketball for 10 years. I often watch NBA because it is very exciting.  My favorite player is Kobe Bryant because he is a hard worker and there are many things to learn from his mentality which is called Mamba Mentality. I also like Sandro Mamukelashvili. He is a 24-year-old Georgian player. He is not a well- known player, but he is talented and has a lot of good skills. I often listen to music on spotify. Last year I listened to music for approximately 57,500 minutes in total. I like many types of music, for example, rap, rock, instrumental, and Celtic music. My favorite musicians are NF, Coldplay, The Script, Two Steps From Hell, Smash into pieces, Nightwish, Enya, and so on. I think
