Day 7
I am currently in Auckland now, one of the biggest city of New Zealand and will board my flight to Queenstown in about an hour through Jet Star airline.
Little more to say about Australia, I left there yesterday and I can say it was a great time over there. Australians are friendly and ready to help and something more impressive about foreigners that lived there. I met two Three Ugandas, Two ghanias, Zimbabwe and even North Africans, they all greeted me first and whenever I telll them I am from nigeria, they hail me and say something good either about music like Davido or Abuja and Lagos. A Nigerian guy I met at the fortitude valley (City center) yesterday morning was very nice to me and he told me that Australia thought him how to be humble. He further explained that many people are very wealthy there in Australia but you will see them walking around on short pants and mere sandals, money is nothing to them. No wonder I was suprise at the rate they spend money just like paper, anyways I won't blame them, they earn much more. I won't go into details but if you are looking for a calm beautiful and rich place to be, australia might just be that best for you.

Fortunately for me, the Nigerian guy took me to his house after lengthy discussion and he later on invited his friend and they drove me to the airport of about 25mins together. Departing from them makes me wanna cry cry they are so friendly and happy.

Least I forget, the owners of Australia called the aborigines are little bit dark in complexion but unfortunately for them, they seems to be the minority in their land of riches, so sad. I saw them on the street and one guy told me that this land belongs to them.


Enough of Australia but if you want to know more, you can always ask.

Getting to New Zealand, it's was a different scenario, so much people at the airport and of different origins . I was told the NZ people are more friendlier than australia though I don't know yet until I experience it. I notice too many tall Big people, I wonder if it's their gene to be that big. Both men, boys, girls and mamas are all in their large sizes I saw at the airport.

I had chat with a man that is from Samoa, guess what? They sometime behave like African. I could see them in their number with skirt like rapper and slippers lol. This is not to offend anyone but it's like those in villages and boldly walking around in the name of summer. The man told me that Samoa is 4hrs flight from New Zealand and 1hr ahead in time so NZ not the FAREST land like I use to think.
He also told me about Fiji and another small country which I can't remember the name, they are all small island and their citizens come to NZ AND AUSTRALIA to study and work.

Thats for now, I will write more as soon as I get what to say grin

I want to say big thanks to you guys for following and contributing to this thread.

Above all, I give God Almighty the glory. Now I am in the city and perhaps its a small beautiful city. I walked many places already, all I can say is that God is great to have perfected the landscape of this place for amazing beauty. This is true nature that all man should embrace and how our environment should be treated. Before now, I use to think that some photos are computer graphic generated until I saw the views myself.

I will be preparing for the conference and tomorrow it will start, I wish myself all the best.

Here are few photos for you guys.

Yes indeed it's a long journey, I actually went to Ferarri world but they were closed by the time I got there so I left. They close by 8 or 9 pm I can't remeber which in particular but if I am going back and I still have little change left, I might visit there. It's 50 euros gate fee but the experience there is worth it.

To my fellow nairalander good evening from the very far far away land

Ferrari world
Being there? Yes
experience worth it? Maybe not so much
in my own view, I think the place is overrated big time, maybe because I have been to some other crazy parks though..
Just one ride (fomula rossa) that was intriguing. You can give it a try though

The queue is crazy so you better go for express pass, although more expensive

Its just a park so you cant stay longer than a day.. Guess it open between 11am - 9pm or on a second option you can try getting a Duo for both Ferrari World [i][/i]and Yas Waterworld the difference might not be so much because 6 hours in Ferrari world alone, you will be bored stiff
