Atually, i didn’t make any plan before i came to nz.
i even didn’t follow the travel plan which i provided to new zealand immigration.
i always made decision when i arrive a new place to see if i like it or not.
After lake tekapo, i start to think i really need to make a decision how many days i should stop in north island.
Before my north travel come out, almost every day, i think about where should i go next and try to search lots of information as i can.
This is a different experience than i stay in australia.
In Australia, i always follow my friends, harriet, allison, lee.
I didn’t have lots of taiwanese friends in australia.
but it didn’t mean i got lots of foreigner friends.
i just don’t like always get together with my country people after i go abroad.
so when i arrive new zealand, even though i heard a lots of manderin. i seldom say hello actively.
anyway, i’m happy i can fly to new zealand from australia.
all is totally new starting for me.
travelling alone sometimes is unhappy.
but always happy more than unhappy.
i hope after back to taiwan, i still can travel by myself not with tour in the future.
go! ring!
