Wellington, New Zealand 1

First few days in Wellington, New Zealand

I had most of a day to spend in Auckland airport, so I figured I'd treat myself to this very Western sandwich which would be super hard to find in China. The burger part is mac n cheese.

I lost count of how many incredible veggie burgers I had in Welly

One of the many strange animals native to New Zealand.

The only parrot that can't fly, is nocturnal, and doesn't like to breed.

Life-size heart of a blue whale

The Great War efforts of Kiwis (New Zealanders)

Even the bus stops are so clean and beautiful and modern I wanted to take a photo!

The oldest living animal on Earth, maybe except for the blue whale. The tuatara has been around for 200 million years. It's impossible to see in the picture below, but when I was looking at it, I truly thought it was dead or not real, it sits there in complete stillness, hours at a time.

Cauliflower Wings 👍😁

Botanical Gardens

The Beehive parliament building, voted one of the world's ugliest buildings.

Many more pictures from happenings in China

Happy (Gregorian) New Year!

Let's hope Mom and Dad's arms don't get tired...

Field Trip
Looks like another kindergarten had the same idea!

Bhakti Yogis

Dr. Sharma from Hong Kong breaking down the basic elements of our bodies and the universe.

This city has just one university, my kindergarten set up one of these tents to get us some interns.

Wandering around Wuyi mountain, clean air, beautiful weather always.

They spelled Boston right!

Normally when I see English words on Chinese clothes there are horrendous grammar errors.

 One of the few times I am impressed by good parenting and had to record it. The boy is playing with a mini-fishing toy. This elicits concentration, skill building and joy. Most importantly, there is no electricity/LCD screen!

Once again, performing some English activities with my students at the mall.

I am the master baker!

Wuyi mountain, again!

Looks like a bird

These are small models of famous mountains in China

Merry Christmas!

That's the school principal on the right; not an easy or relaxing day for her I think!

Fuzhou station; the first place in China where/when I've been stranded. Train tickets sold out, no buses available, had to stay the night. I took this picture thinking, wow, look at how huge this station is, and yet, the population is still so much more huge. Not the end of the world, but definitely a hassle I don't want to relive.
