Victoria Street
So far I recieved 31 postcards in total, but I remember I lost 1 postcard on Febuary 2nd to record how I met my Japanese neighbor. I hope it would arrive to Taiwan soon. Don't get lost in New Zealand.
This is Maori culture. Acually most people like to buy the postcards for beautiful scenes. But this time I bought some Maori related culture postcards. When I entered into the Waikato Museum, I held back the tears to look Maori history and culture. And then I think New Zealand government treats Maori people very well, I can see many things written in English and Maori language. However, compare to our government, we treated aborigines very poor. I cannot see any aborigines langauges common in Taiwan but only chinois or sometimes I can see English.
Perhpas it was a right decision long time ago they left Taiwan toward to New Zealand. The so called aboriginal art in Taiwan is worthless, yet in New Zealand, I can find most souvenirs related with Maori culture. I feel ashamed our policies to treat aborigines. When I heard many kiwis can count their birds name in Maori calling way, I feel more ashamed for myself. I don't know what did I do in the past 22 years.
