Aotearoa Day 5
Today is Tuesday and it’s the same thing, go to the cafe and eat breakfast. After that, went to town, because I wanted to buy myself a phone so that people could call or text me. I needed to get money so I wanted to the Travelex, it’s a foreign exchange place. I couldn’t get money from them, so I went to the ATM to get money. I went to Telecom to get myself a prepaid phone. After, I returned back to the Uni to pay for my insurance. Got my student ID. I am officially a Waikato student! Saw Leo there too.
After, I wanted to visit Aunty Kim. She works at the School of Management. Before I came here, Aunty Noe Noe told me to go and visit her. Therefore, today I went to visit her. We talked for about half an hour and she invited us, the Hawaiian students, to their house for dinner. So we said yes! We met her back at her office about 5 (Me, Leo, Kailee and Logan). Interesting and cool, because their cars are different. So I sat up front, what we call the drivers seat. Weird! Went to the store, because Aunty needed to buy some stuff. They live in Whatawhata, about 30 minutes drive away?! Uncle Hotu was cooking dinner when we arrived! They have 5 children. How can I say this but ʻOno loa! Piha ka ʻōpū! Like stew, salad and rice! I finally tried kiwi, it’s pretty good. After eat ice cream, the French Vanilla is pretty good! While we ate, we talked about all kine stuff, school, places, reggae music, those kine.
This is our family right now in Aotearoa. I really wanna thank Aunty Noe Noe for her contact, Uncle Hotu, Aunty Kim and the ʻohana for their aloha, hoʻokipa and for dinner. I am really grateful that I found you guys! Mahalo choke!
