4 seasons a day!!

It is said this country has 4 seasons a day. NZ is a wide range of temperature in a nutshell.
Even if you travel to NZ in summer, you have to bring fleeces or jackets.

Preventive measures of ultraviolet rays

New Zealand, is near the South Pole, is under strong ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet rays of NZ are seven times as strong as those of Japan. So if you go to NZ in summer, you have to put on a hat and sunglasses to prevent from the sun. Also you had better wear long-sleeved shirts than normal T-shirts.

Auckland Museum

This museum, is the biggest in NZ, was established in 1852. In ground floor there are handiwork and weapons of Maori and Polynesian. In First floor it is exhibited stuffed specimen of birds of NZ. In top floor there are materials and weapons on war. If you visit this museum, you can see the history on NZ.

Sightseeing in Auckland ~"Mt. Eden"

There are about 50 extinct volcanoes in Auckland. The tallest one of them is "Mt. Eden"(the altitude 196m) It is famous for one of tourist attractions. If you climb up the top of it, you can survey the panoramic view of the city. It is so wonderful. Also you'll feel comfortable with seeing cattle pastured around there.

About Auckland!!

I introduce Auckland. Auckland is the biggest city in New Zealand and is located on the North. Auckland has also the largest population(about 1.25 million) in NZ. It is famous as a commercial area. Especially marine transport is flourish because most of the areas face the sea. Auckland is called "City of Sail"there.

I heard that there are a lot of the other countries' people in Auckland. So Auckland is also an international city. Unitec, the university I will go to, is there. Im looking forward to make good friends from the other countries.
