Hi Holly!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your fun facts about New Zealand. Can you please explain to me why you have decided to choose these ones as your favourite? Did you already watch Lord of the Rings? If you did, who was your favourite character?
It is pretty amazing that Aotearoa is one of the very first countries to have THREE women obtain (get) their top positions all at once. Can you tell me what they have achieved by being in these positions? :)
I know that having snakes in a nearby mountain can be very frightening. I come from a city named 'Busan' which is located at the very bottom of Korea. Unlike New Zealand, we used to have snakes in the mountains behind my house!!! It is pretty scary, but it didn't stop me from going on spontaneous adventures in the mountains. If we give them personal space, they would not go out of their way to harm us.
Do you have any animals or insects that you are afraid of? Are you scared of spiders? Let me know!
Ka kite :)
