New Zealand Thoughts

Sophie  New Zealand is an amazing place, it is a small country about as big as Greta Britain or Japan. It only has a population of four million so it is not crowded unlike Houston or any other big city. The average temperature decreases as you travel South. January and February are the warmest months and July is the coldest month. Most places in New Zealand get over 2,000 hours of sunshine in one year and the sunniest places with over 2,350 hours. that's a lot of sun! Snow comes during July through October. It has many mountain range so people can go skiing!  It has changed my view of the world researching New Zealand and seeing how it works. The way they live is so different from the US. For starters the schools. The schedule is way different then the school schedules in North America. The first month of school is February. Although summer is only 3 weeks long, you are never about 9 weeks away from 3 week vacation. For example, school starts February 1st and ends the 15th of April. School starts back up again by May 2nd.
