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 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

@ bisi thanks for your contribution at least someone gat show love.

@ seangy4konji I am with my Nigerian passport any time any day. Presentation matters though with many which I never over stay any of them.

Dreamcome2ru:

Thank you sir.

More photos

@ jack188, thanks for your suggestion, I will give them a call when I get to New Zealand and if they are good, I will consider using them as well. Here in Australia, it quite easy to use their public transport so I used the train to the city center.

Still on day .

I met with a nice Briton guy today, we had chat and later walked around the city center. Unfortunately my phones were dead and couldn't charge them because of their plug in adaptor which is different from the conventional Apple charger, I had to buy an adaptor for 5 Aud.

A brief experience about Brisbane, considering that it is one of the coaster city with excellent work of architectural designs. The sky scrapers are enormous and first thing I thought was "where is my country" with so much mineral resources. The city is beautiful, Sometime you will think if they sweep everywhere as I couldn't find a single paper on the floor at the city center. In one world, this is the most clean city I have ever visited. The Briton friend I met told me about his experience in Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne and all he could say is that the cities are awesome with well constructed and planned building. He agrees with me when I told him that London is not close to these cities in terms of town planning and urbanization.

Above all, this people here are friendly to me at least, even the foreigners trust me I met two guys half Cameroonian-Nigerian and imo state guy, they walked me down ( 0.2km) to my hotel when I missed the route, that's a sign of happy people and how we should behave to our country men. I am not Igbo yet the ibo guy helped me, I am impressed. I hope to see them again to say thank you once more. Not to forget that India girl I first met at the city center, she was so help in locating the route to my hotel since it just 900 meters away. She even googled my route and I took a photo of it, that's awesome from an Indian lady.

Day 4. Ahead of time 12hours
Thanks to God almighty, it been wonderful journey so far. Am now in Brisbane Australia, after 8hours on plane from Singapore.

Getting down from the plane, I could tell this is a lovely place to be, the serenity and the smile on people's face will make you wonder if this is another world. Contrary to what I was told about immigration, as for me, the immigration and customs are nice and ready to explain to you and direct you. In fact, It was faster and easier to go through their immigration compare to that of Germany as their smile seems to be fading away

With advance technology, I was actually scanned for Ebola lol but not only me . I was happy that I am scanned because it makes it faster for me and later walk like a boss, confidently went through their immigration, no shaking as a naija boy

It's summer here and green leaves all over, that is rarely found in Europe for now as its winter there so it is my best shot to feel the life around me.
Will be going to the city center now but first to my hotel, least I forget, I love their currency and guess what, they also use polymer. See photo and tell me what you guys think.

Will update inside the city later. Chaoo

Day 3.

I took off from Abu dhabi airport and now in Singapore changi international airport getting ready to board to Brisbane Australia.

Abu Dhabi was nice and with good food, friendly officer and ever smiling hustlers. It was nice to be there, the weather reminds me of nigeria as the temperature runs to 39 degree Celsius.
There was a little delay at Abu dhabi airport due to air traffic as our plane couldn't take off, anyways thanks to God I am in Singapore, after 7 hours of sitting on the plane but the good thing is that Etihad airways and partners Airline now has Internet connection but you have to pay 10$ for two hours

Nice crew member for Etihad Airways though I would prefer that of Qatar airways tall and ever smiling ladies. Nice treat on Etihad as usual, several meals and desert was served but I was careful of eating them. Well I took so many cups of orange and apple juice.

Ooh it's late now running to board my flight to Brisbane see you guys later. And between I couldn't upload the photos I too from my camera because it's too large and I need to compress them each time I want to upload. I will do that later.. See you guys later.. Chao

Abu Dhabi airport security are friendly just like that of Austria, and many shopping malls.

Day 2.
After a quite cold night in Stuttgart, back to the airport terminal 1 getting ready to board Etihad Airways to Abu Dhabi.

I thought I could go round the city center to share more experience but it's cold out and hanging around with hand luggage is not interesting though I will still come back here maybe then I can share more. I took few photos around the airport. It's nice to see different latest Germany machines as Taxi

Still on Day 1.

Hello freemern, I am studying in Lithuania, KTU.LT to be precise. 3rd year Mechatronics student. You can ask whatever you might want to know.

Cheetahs are good runner, they take off faster than any other animals but their weakness starts when their temperature begins to raise. Couple with the hot weather, their temperature increases 4 times the human temperature does making them weak and they have to slow down or stop else they die.
