On our day off we sometimes went for a walk.
10. The Birds...........beautiful singing birds.....
New Zealand has beautiful summer.... it is dry and not too hot, temperature is around 26℃-30℃.
12. Long day light
In summer at about 10 pm still light.....
In Japan 7pm started to dark....
13. Cafes.......... sitting outside having a cafe we miss most ....
There are not many cafes in Japan and people do not sit down outside and having a cafe....
There are many Starbucks, Doutor and take away cafes but they are sitting inside and studying and reading... it looks like a library...
14. The Nature............Being in the nature.
