THE CLIVE

This is my first another sky in New Zealand-Clive.

Today is the last day to stay in Clive because I'll do the host change.

I didn't want to the host changing but I had no choice.

My host mother whose name is Jennie's father has a chronic disease and it became worse.

However, Jennie said "You can come to this house whenever you want." to me.

I was so happy to hear that and also I thought that I have to thank them for having me and being really kind to me.

When I came here at the first time, I was surprised to see how close to nature people live.

My house stands near the sea.

My host father whose name is Heinz has a cool bike and he likes to go cycling.

I always borrowed his bike and went to the beautiful cycling road along the river.

There is a beautiful bench and I always sat down and sometimes I read a book, drinking a bottle of milk tea.  It was my precious time to calm down and think about myself.

Also I was surprised how inconvenient here is.

In Japan, there are so many convenience store and I can buy something I want whenever I want.

There is only 4SQUARE as the shop in Clive.

I realised how convenient place I used to live and also I have to appreciate that.

However there are so many beautiful natures instead of convenience.

Today I got up at 5o'clock and went to the sea to see sunrise for the memory.

I tried to do this many times before but I couldn't.

BUT!!!! I could do today!!!!!!

When I left the house, the sky was still dark so it was difficult to ride a bike on dark road.

I'll never forget this wonderful experience:)

Also I was learned very important thing from my host family.
That is " I have to challenge everything not to be afraid and also enjoy everything happened
 because the time I can do these things is only now. "
Since I noticed how important this word is, I've been able to challenge many things.

I have stayed in Galler's house about a month and half.

It's very short but I have a lot of memories.

I deeply appreciate to meet Jennie and Heinz.

I'll not forget this wonderful experience.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
