The first few days in New Zealand were pretty nice wearther and I feel like I would have enjoyed the Red Woods much more if we went at a warmer time of day or when it wasn't raining. I am content with the experience I had at the forest, I stayed behind with Mr. Schagrin and a couple students who weren't thrilled about the hike either, we walked into the forest a little and then left , that was good enough for me because the trees don't vary much so the forest is almost all the same. But it is incredible that humans can create something that huge and beautiful. New Zealand cares more about their environmentand that's why they have more natural AND manmade parks, we only rely on nature to create things most of the time. After warming up and changing we met the Rangitoto students and it wasn't at all what I expected. My penpal, Nicole, didn't really talk to me in person so I talked to other people. We found many similarites in out school systems but there were more differences. They have to walk, take public transportation, or drive to school, and driving isn't easy when there's 3000 students. They always wear uniforms, even though it's a public school, which is a good idea. I think it's cool how their school can gave so many sports and clubs because 3,000 students have 3,000 different interests, like the people that performed the Haka for us.
