A Peaceful Life in NZ

Wellington, Capital of New Zealand

After a long long time, i have finally decided to update my blog again... To be honest.. this blog will only be updated during holidays .. I just couldn't spare my beloved sleeping time for it during uni days :P

After taking a 3 hours ferry ride from Picton, i arrived at Wellington in the evening.

Wellington is quite different from Auckland, at least that's what i think..
The night life at Wellington is definitely more interesting compared to Auckland...
Or maybe I'm not living in the central of Auckland, so I can't really feel the lifeliness of Auckland.. Haha..

During my stay there, i stayed in a hostel very near to the town hall, with a bar beside it.. To many, it might be a plus point... But I don't really like drinking anyway, neither do i enjoy getting drunk. Getting drunk is seriously... lame. so yeah.. Anyway, all the above is just personal view, don't flame me for that please.


I didn't do much back in Wellington. I just go around sight seeing, that's all. Among the place i visited is the Te Papa Museum, the national museum of NZ... It's quite a big museum with 5/6 storey.. The exhibition includes formation of Nz, earthquake.. and so on... One of the more significant ones will be the fight of Maori rights... This world is unfair... There're bound to be ethnics being oppressed...


Don't miss out the mini garden in the Tepapa Museum as well as those artificial cavern too...
Besides that, i went to look around Victoria University(if i'm not mistaken). Nice building they have there...Their law faculty.




Not to forget is the Parliament building... Astonishing architecture involved there.... And a nice church just nearby..
And the train station

That's all for now :P
