Today marks the end of the first week of the program. One thing that I’ve learned about Kiwis is that they absolutely love nature. They are very worried with the natural beauty of their country, and take a lot of measures to maintain it. They have a lot of different trash bins for all kinds of garbage, but the work they put in really shows. They also are very strict with what enters the country and especially what happens in their national parks. New Zealand is such a beautiful country; everything from the mountains to the lakes is astonishing. The pictures that I took and even ones online don’t do it justice at all, and the fact that Kiwis care so much about nature is so cool because they will preserve this for future generations.
