The day before yesterday I had applied the passport successfully, also I paid the deposit to join the Waikato Pathways College Group Programme. Next Thursday I will take my passport and then apply to a visa to New Zealand. Moreover, I will remit the remaining balance to the designated account. This is a joy to be hidden. So I will fly out of Taiwan's sky and stay in New Zealand for a month during my winter vacation. And I will not celebrate that unmeaning Asian New Year in Taiwan. Asian New Year has an important meaning of reunion. Perhaps I am very lucky that my father side's home, my mather side's home and my home are in the same district. It means that as long as I want to visit them, I just take in 15 minutes to arrive their home. About the atmosphere of Asian New Year, I cannot have the strong feeling to immerse in this festival. In addition, my lovely grandma (mother side) has passed away 5 years, this festival is no meaning already for me. What if she was still alived, I would not go abroad during that time.
I am wondering to know whether I miss home too much to cry, because many friends told me that they had this kind of similiar experiences. I promise my mother to give her a call every day, in this way, she can be assured that with me.
The Waikato University is located in North Island, there has no much diversified terrain as South Island, but only the one thing is worth to stay there; that is Maoli culture. Since that Maoli girl told me their aborigines recognize they were from Taiwan, I would like to understand their culture and custom. I believe that I could learn from different cultures to acquaint our own culture. Most Taiwan tourists prefer to visit South Island because of the British architecture and ecology scenes. However, North Island has more traces of human history. I am looking forward to dance with Maoli people for Haka. Last, I never seen Alpaca, they look very cute and I want to stroke them.
