Essay#4: Memorable Days in My Life
Last summer, I went to New Zealand for 1 month as a school trip. These days are my memorable days in my life, so I will write about my New Zealand days.
My host family had 6 members. Father, mother, 2 brothers, sister and a dog. There were 2 foreign students in the host family’s house. One is a German girl and another one is Brazilian boy. In short, there were 9 people in my host family’s house. Host father was very kind and funny man. He always said some jokes to me. Host mother was kind, but she sometimes strict her children. Her dinner was delicious every day. Older brother was 21 years old. He had a cute girl friend, also she was kind. She liked Japanese. Younger brother was so cute, and he often studied. Younger sister was also very pretty. She was only 6 years old. I always played with her in the house. She really liked board game. We became best friend in New Zealand! I loved my host family members.
I went to Unitec on my foot every day. The way was very nature. I sometimes saw ducks. It takes about 30 minute from my host family’s house. I was glad to see my friends in the school. We learned English from 2 teachers. Both of them were very kind. Those classes were always interesting. I learned about New Zealand’s culture, some dialect or slangs. It was very nice classes. I liked school in New Zealand. I made a friend in Unitec. She is 20 years old. She likes Japanese, so I taught Japanese a little. I also learned English from her. She will come to KGU this September from Unitec. I am looking forward to see her.
I went to downtown with Nastuki, Yuka and Mana on weekend. We went shopping there. There were many cheap clothes, so we bought them whatever we want. We ate Japanese food in Auckland. We missed Japanese foods, so when we ate them, we were so happy. We were always together in New Zealand, so I was very happy everyday. After school, we often went shopping mall, and we bought many foods. For example, chocolates or potato crisps. We gained weight for 1 month.
Those days were very precious days in my life. I lived a full day for a month there. Those days passed very fast. Everyday were very special days in New Zealand.

Houses in NZ
Houses are very important for us, because we live in our house and we go back home everyday, so they ought to be comfortable for us. This paper researched houses of Auckland and Kumamoto. There are some differences between houses in Auckland and houses in Kumamoto. Those differences are due to climate, customs and so on.
In Auckland houses, are there many rooms? Are the houses cold in winter? What should people do when they take a shower in Auckland? There are many things that we should know about Auckland’s houses. To answer these, questionnaire was taken of 24 students about their host family’s homes.
Section 2 of this paper will show about houses in Kumamoto, concentrating on new things about Japanese-style houses. What do people usually have in Japanese-style houses? What do people usually do in Japanese-style houses? Section 3 will talk about homes in New Zealand. Finally, this paper will discuss differences and similarities of houses in Auckland and Kumamoto.
First, most Japanese-style houses have tatamis. They are Japanese-style mat which are made of straw. Because of tatami, we don’t feel cold in winter, and we don’t feel hot in summer. People feel comfortable by tatamis. Tatamis can also be a measure of area in a room. We can know how large a room is easily. These are good points of tatami. One bad point of tatami though, is that straw can get on people’s clothes when they sit down on the old tatami.
Some Japanese houses have a kotatsu (a low, covered table with a heat source underneath) in winter. It makes us warm, so many people like it even cats in Kumamoto. But some people don’t like it, because it is too warm and comfortable, so they feel sleepy, then they sleep in the kotatsu. If you have to do some things, you should not enter it.
All people sleep in beds in Auckland, but some people sleep in futon in Kumamoto. They have to put futon down on a floor every night, and they have to put away it every morning. Futons are healthier than beds, because beds are too soft for people, so it is bad for their back. Futons are also cleaner than beds, because we tend to neglect cleaning of beds, but we can clean a futon and a sheet easily.
Most Japanese houses have a lock on the door of the toilet and bathroom. We sometimes knock on the door when we want to enter the room. If someone is in the room, it is locked. It is normal in Kumamoto. We usually close doors of all rooms in Kumamoto.
There are some differences between Kumamoto’s houses and Auckland’s houses. However one similarity is that in New Zealand, we have to remove our shoes before entering my host family’s house. Surprisingly, it is the same in Japan, even though we may think that New Zealanders enter their house with their shoes on, but according to my questionnaire, many Auckland people don’t remove their shoes, so my host family’s house was special in Auckland.
Also according to my questionnaire, most Auckland houses have carpets in all the rooms, so people were not cold without shoes in winter in Auckland. My room doesn’t have a heater in Auckland, but there is a heater outside of my room open. The next room is a study room. Almost always we keep the door of our room. My room also has a thick carpet. Those things make us warmer.
Second, my host family’s house has many bedrooms, because there are many people; father, mother, 2 brothers, 1 daughter, 4 students and me when I stayed in the house. According to my questionnaire, many houses have many rooms in Auckland, but in most houses, there are only one or two televisions there, so if we want to watch television, we stay together in one room. In Auckland, 40% of the houses from my questionnaire don’t watch television in dinner time. We enjoy our conversation at dinner. Also, if people are in their room, they don’t close the door of their room in many Auckland houses. They always open their room door except when they sleep, so they can talk whenever they want to talk someone.
Third, my host family’s house has 3 bathrooms. According to my host mother, she needs them, because she has 3 children and some students to study in New Zealand. We usually have one bathroom in Japan. Also, there is no bathtub in my host family’s house. Japanese people usually take a bath, but they can only take a shower. However, according to my questionnaire, most houses have a bathtub in the bathroom. Besides; water is very valuable in New Zealand, so we have to take a shower a little time. According to my questionnaire, many bathrooms don’t have a key in Auckland houses. If the bathroom’s door is closed, no one comes in there.
Finally, according to the questionnaire, most New Zealand husbands cook dinner at home. It is very good thing, because many Japanese husband don’t housework. Also, most houses have a dishwasher in New Zealand. It is useful for us, because we don’t have to wash dishes. Surprisingly, most New Zealander don’t rinse after wash pans or dishes with washing-up liquid when they don’t use a dishwasher in New Zealand.
This paper found some interesting differences between houses in Auckland and houses in Kumamoto. People have tatami and kotatsu in houses of Kumamoto, but people have carpets in houses of Auckland. People have futon in houses of Kumamoto, but people have beds in houses of Auckland. People close doors of rooms in houses of Kumamoto, but Auckland’s people don’t close doors except when they sleep in their house. People have a lock on the bathroom in houses of Kumamoto, but people don’t have a key for any rooms in houses of Auckland. In fact, some houses don’t even have bathrooms. The way of washing dishes or pans is also quite different.
This paper has found some amazing things about Auckland houses. There are many differences between houses in Auckland and houses in Kumamoto, but both of them have good points.
