Hi everyone.
I am James. I am doing a Diploma English course at Unitec this year, 2007. When I arrived here with my family in 2002, I was so frightened, I couldn't find anybody in the street. Actually, this is so different from my country, South Korea. Now I understand this country is very calm and peaceful due to less population.
In addition, the evironmental merit of NZ such as clean air, water, wide green fields or lots of trees are enough to attract my family to stay longer. We have had difficulty in comunicating with people who use English as their mother tongue. So all my family are currently studying English to accomplish our goals; my children are studying at Royal Oak primary school and my wife and I are studying English hard. We are living in the area of One Tree Hill.
We have travelled to many areas and cities since we came to New Zealand. Particularly, we went to the South Island last holiday for 2 weeks. It was so exciting and lots of 
fun. To understand NZ culture, geography or customs immigrants may have to look around cities and famous places.

There are many ways to live a good life in NZ, for instance, making friends who are using a different language everyday, visiting places with historical traces, and so on. Therefore, I want to understand various life styles to love all nationalities. I hope everybody experiences a better life in NZ. Bless you!
