NEW ZEALAND__ HOMESTAY
New Zealand, a peaceful .. quiet .. lovely country, it was an amazing trip for me and I have a lots of sweet memories from Lumb family and the International Youth Camp.
First of all, Sincerely Thank you Tom Lumb & Anne Lumb provided us (amery & I) to stay at your lovely home from 8th December until 26th of December' 07. I really had great time to stay with you all just like a family. Every morning & every night Tom has an habbit that he will go to check his emails... (before the breakfast and also before sleep) haha..... Anne can cook very well, so we had nice meals every time...
In front of Tom & Anne lovely home.^^^ Banner and souvenirs for them.

Nga Manu Nature Reserve
This is KIWI bird.................
Is rarely that you can see a KIWI bird in New Zealand...
but I did see , I was so lucky, thank you Tom & Anne brought us to Nga Manu to watch kiwi birds and ohters birds as well...
Kiwi birds always hide themselves on the day time, they come out at night time...
When my camera has flash, the Kiwi bird stood there and doesn't move just like a fake bird..

It's named Big Snow... It's the land of Giant!!Besides, we meet the native NZ Owls, owls stay in dark as well and they can't move their eyes.
And The Wairuru caves was an awesome experienced, we walked in the dark cave without any torch light just can see the grow worms...
Wonderful!!!!

Tawhiti Museum, hawera
Bringing you face to face with your Heritage!!Extensive use is made of both life sized figurers and smaller scale figures in the displays. The life size figures add something of a social perspective to the displays while the scale models depict scenes that would be impossible to recreate life size and help to display artifacts in a meaningful context.
The features are creating the very real image!!!
I took a lot of pictures of the models that I can't post all of them to here...
