Finally arriving in Blenheim!

And suddenly, the Culture Camp has finished. We had an amazing last evening; some of us had to eat a full spoon of marmite, others had to stuff as many marshmallows as possible into their mouth, there were haka performers, dry-weetbix-eaters and so on :D When the time came to leave, almost everyone had tears in the eyes :'( One shuttle after the other left. Finally at half past twelve my shuttle came and we drove to the Auckland Airport. We all were incredibly nervous and excited to meet our host families! After our flights to New Zealand from Switzerland in some huge airplanes, we were quite surprised when we saw the airplane which was going to take us to our final destination!

In the airplane I was sitting beside an American Professor for geography. It was quite funny to talk to him and I was glad to be able to talk to somebody instead of being nervous on my own! ;-) When we got off the plane on the small Blenheim airport we all looked bloody nervous and when we walked towards the building we could see our host families, standing there with a poster. I got such a cute soft kiwi! He's on my bed now :P I cuddle him every evening before I go to bed! At my new home, my family showed me my bedroom, which they equiped in red, black and white and there is even a piano! I love it ;-) I was so happy that I finally arrived at my host family and I also made friends with the birds. We have got about 25 birds, a cat which loves the red cuddly blanket on my bed and a dog called Tazz and I totally love them <3...
 ...they also like sitting on our heads and especially playing with long hair :-P
