Before that we went to Fujiyama Teppanyaki, a Japanese restaurant for di...

All right! Here is my very first entry! Today marks my first week in New Zealand and what an experience it has been. Mostly it has been a mental struggle with homesickness and excitement of being in a new place. My first four days were spent in the lovely town of Rotorua where we had our Australearn orientation. I was there with 29 other America...
