I have enjoyed many aspects of New Zealand life. These have been very different from any thing I was used to in the past. These are a few of my pictures to show you my New Zealand. I have not attempted to address the people themselves, that will have to wait for another extension to this site. New Zealand is a beautiful land with a wide variety of landscapes. It is the exact opposite of Somalia. As the landscape is, so is the weather. Sitting in the middle of a huge ocean, the weather is changeable. It’s possible to have four seasons in one day!! Somalia on the other hand is hot and dry; dry and hot! I have not as yet seen much of the north island apart from Wellington and Auckland, so right now I am a true South Islander, or mainlander as we are called here. I hope you enjoy my view of my adopted homeland. The following pictures were taken during recent trips I made in the South Island.
