Living Experience In Wellington, New Zealand Continue...

Beautiful Scenic view

One of the benefits of working there was that I started to   socialize with people. I had made my place very soon   because of my good work. A few customers advised me   to open my own parlor. After working for some time, I   started doing the same job at my own home. I managed   perfectly between home chores and parlor work.

As I mentioned earlier, I used to live in the heart of the   city. Hence, soon I got acquainted with many girls of my age who had come with their husbands from India. We had a whatsup group which help us in keeping the communication alive. We did a lot of potluck together and organized a baby shower for few of our friends who were expecting their baby so that they don't have even the slightest feeling that they are alone while staying abroad. 

In addition, my husband also used to come home from the office on time. After taking evening snacks, we would go for an evening walk. It had become a daily routine. Moreover, he used to come home daily at noon from the office, so that we can have lunch together. We used to spend Saturday, Sunday together.  Even if we had to go to get vegetables, we used to go together. Everyone used to say that if there is a couple then it should be like us.

On October 18, 2013, we embarked on a memorable adventure to explore Auckland. Our voyage commenced with a delightful bus ride, and our return was equally enchanting as we traversed back by train. Auckland, a vibrant metropolis, stands as New Zealand's most populous city, where diverse cultures converge in a tapestry of culinary delights, melodious melodies, captivating artworks, and rich heritage. Referred to as Tāmaki Makaurau, this city gracefully extends across volcanic hills and embraces twin harbors, presenting an exhilarating fusion of natural marvels and urban escapades.

We took a Hop on Hop off Bus to explore Auckland and visited city top attractions, enjoyed interesting commentary and friendly service along the way. The touring bus helped us in visiting many places like Sea life kelly Tarlton’s aquarium, Auckland botanic garden, Sky city, Auckland war memorial museum, Auckland zoo where I did horse riding as well.

We used to travel to India every year for a month in December. On 18 Jan,2014, we returned back from our first vacation trip to India. When we came to know that there is a public holiday in coming Monday. That's when my husband rented a car and plan a trip for Rotorua and Taupo. Even Though, we already visited this place, he wanted to visit one more time. The next morning, we both left for Rotorua Taupo by our hired car. We stayed one night in a hotel which was located in front of lake. It was really a long drive. When our friends came to know about this this sudden trip, which was done just after coming from India. They were surprised to hear this. In fact, living in New Zealand was nothing less than living in a paradise for us.

In addition of having fun, when you are appreciated for the work done by you and you get an award for it, what can be better than this? Just so happened that my Hubby received the Service Excellence Award for his work in the office. When I came to know about this achievement of my husband, I organized a small party in the house to share this happiness, in which I served all food prepared by my own hands.

Unaware of how I became intertwined with the city's inhabitants. One of my husband's colleagues suggested that I should consider teaching children again. Intrigued, I decided to explore the idea further. Taking the first step, I visited a local school and sought guidance from a seasoned educator in primary education. I discovered that primary schools focus on building foundational literacy and numeracy skills, essential for all subjects. This education is designed to strengthen children's fundamentals, ensuring smooth learning across various disciplines in the future. Equipped with knowledge of effective teaching methodologies, I gained newfound confidence. I was ready to embrace this opportunity, knowing that I could make a meaningful difference by shaping young minds and laying the groundwork for their educational journey. translate in hindi

Soon few children started coming to me for study. Along with household chores, my parlor and teaching work were going very smooth. I didn't even know how quickly the day was passing by.

Whenever there was a public holiday. We used to go somewhere for a visit. We went for a trip to Castlepoint and had a chance to see the Lighthouse. The view was very unique as the lake and sea can be seen merging together. Next to these lookouts, you can walk down a set of stairs and along the cliffs. First time in my life we had seen such a wonderful place which was really commendable. The time of both of us was passing very well, whenever we got a chance, we used to go out to visit new places.

Sometimes it seems as if we came to this place just to roam. We also made plans to go to  Queenstown with our friend. How to go? Where to go? Where to stay? booking tickets, all things were done by my hubby. When we landed at C Airport, we were overwhelmed to see snowfall. It was the first beautiful experience for all of us. There were so many fun activities and natural wonders. We rode the Queenstown gondola.

We went to Treble Cone Ski Area as well. It offers a range of ski and snowboard lessons and programs for all ages and levels including first timers, group lessons etc. We also took skiing lessons that were fully adventurous for us. Now it was the turn of Bungee Jumping, which I could not do, but my hubby was very excited to do it. Hence, he did it with full fun and enthusiasm.
