My First Home in NZ





22 Endiburgh Road was our first home in NZ. Right after we landed in Hamilton, we stayed at the very lousy motor home, actually not so lousy la...but lousy to my taste...We took 2 rooms (the ruling in NZ is that all kids need to have their own beds) and paid more than $1000. The rooms weren't that dear, but perhaps I was too careless or maybe too tired that first night or too overwhelmed by the whole idea of people receiving us here, I lost $1000. I realized the next morning that the windows to our room were opened and "all hell break lose"!

After 2 nights at the Motor Home, Angela from Kuching let us rent her house for 200 a week, which was very reasonable. Angela was really really kind enough to lend us heaps of her stuffs for us to start a living...(Terhutang budi with Angela la ni...) After a week, we found this house put up for rent for 270 a week. At first there was just this one house on a piece of bare land, but after a while, there are some nice plants & a garage built for us. Marian & Ernie are really nice toward us, very considerate, very motherly & fatherly to us....
