During the holidays, my family and I went to New Zealand. We spent a total of 16 days there. During these 16 days, we spent a lot of time together and got to know and understand each other better. We toured both the North and South Island and spent a few days with our Aunt. We went to the geysers in the North Island and also saw the sulphur pools. They really smelt like rotten eggs. The geysers were very beautiful and our whole family enjoyed the sight of the water spouting out. We also got to learn about the natural heritage of New Zealand and the Maori people. We learnt about and saw them in their natural costumes, as well as their dances. The most interesting part was when they did the Hakka - their traditional dance used to scare away their enemies before a fight. They would stick out their tongues, pertrude their eyes and slap their thighs and chest.
We went to Queenstown and sat on the Shot OverJet. It moves very fast and even turned 360 degrees. We did not even have seat belts and it was really quite scary. During our stay in Queenstown, we also were able to eat different kinds of food. I enjoyed the meal times the most because we were able to talk to each other and shared with each other the things that happened in School. Through these talks, we were able to get to know each other better. We visited our Aunt in Auckland and her house was very big. She had a fruit garden which had many exotic fruits. My brother enjoyed it most as he loves fruits. During that period of time, our Aunt took care of us very well and even took us on a car ride to see all the Christmas decorations of houses. It was such a beautiful sight.
With fond memories of New Zealand, we sadly departed from there back to Singapore. This moment was the best I enjoyed with my family in all my years.
