i need tips of how to survive in overseas(newzealand)
for 8 months now i still home sick

pele o my brother abi se na sister u be. NZ extra far from home small o and all men still dey complain. anyway, as per survival its going to be a long road but u gonn pull through like its nothing. if u don't mind me asking, what u been doing in 8months. because it kind of depends on how active u are. as long as u got somn to keep u busy, your mind wont think about naija that much.

na sister oo
i having being going to the polytechnic to get a A level certificate
because i left Naija with a O level certificate and Jamb result
but it did not help my admission process into the UNI here in NZ
i will finish by August

aiight cool. thats a start. as long as u got somn to do. the boredom and homesickness would find their way out of ur system. NOT THAT U WONT GET HOT FLASHES OF NAIJA ONCE IN A WHILE but it wont be as bad as right now.

Try to mingle with the people dont single yourself out, if they go pub u too go pub u dont have to drink though u can have lemonade.

Get ur peeps to send films to you

enjoy the food try not to complain too much

u can join the african/caribbean student union if they have one

_{Pack your load and go back home} . Seriously, try to look for some Nigerians to hang out with, and see if a little of the home sickness can be aliviated.

Sorry if I sound nosey PEU, but how come you are in NZ anyway?

Did you win a scholarship there or something, are you there with the rest of your family and are there a lot of Nigerians there?

Which city in NZ do you live? Is it true that there are more sheep than humans in NZ?(LOL)

Anyway those are all my questions for now.

keep goin n focus on Ur ambition

be strong grl and try remember wat u r there for i think that will help nd u will definately relax .

hi,

where in NZ are u located?

is this person still there?

i will be in new zealand, pls can you help me with information?

cant believe you guys were able to dig out such a thread.

may be better to have started a new one

try and engage in the activities the kiwis engage in. thats the key to overcoming loneliness in a strange land. i hear the kiwis love a lot of outdoor activities like hiking, biking, surfing, jogging etc. it wont hurt to engage in these.

Cheers

There are 8 times more sheep than people in new zealand.
if you feel alone or depressed, just have you some juicy lamb chops.
yum.
