2023-April 20th

 On April 20th, we visited the museum near the Otago Polytechnic and made prepared for tomorrow's presentation. Everybody said Toitu Museum, but I researched and heard about it from my host father that "Toitu" means a museum in the Maori language, so we were saying "Museum museum." I laughed a lot and had interested in it. In many places, Maori notations are written along with English. I thought learning the Maori language is one of the good options during staying in New Zealand a bit.

2023-April 17th

 April 17 th was my first-day taking classes at Otago Polytechnic. We did a self-introduction presentation on that day. Honestly, that was easy for us. We had a lot of pictures, some events in my life that are able to talk in front of people, and skills for presentation. I’m pretty sure we are all unique, in both good meaning and bad meaning, so when we deliver presentations, that was so much fun. Next day, we will make a report about Otago Polytechnic’s academic policy. I think it is so many things to write about, but I look forward to it tomorrow.

On April 19th, we delivered the presentation again. Honestly, it was so bothering to do. This presentation's theme was the differences between Japan and New Zealand. So, we researched it in the morning and made slides. In the afternoon, we delivered it. I think I mentioned it in a previous diary, but we've got some skills for the presentation, so we didn't take so long to finish the class. The next day, we're going to get to the museum. Sounds fun to me, I'm looking forward to visiting there!

2023-April 8th

 On April 8th, I visited the camp in which my host family participated. This camp started on Friday night and finished next Monday. I didn't join there because I had a bit sick. However, I thought I should visit there at least, so I went there. There were lots of Tongans and I couldn't understand their language. They all are Methodist, so they were praying when I arrived. It took so long same as yesterday, so I slept one time while praying. After eating lunch, we played volleyball with them. That moment was the only time that I had fun with them and understood how nice they are. I'm convinced sports are one of the best ways to know each other.
