搬家的時候

我搬家的時候經驗

第一次  我只有五歲,

我們(爸爸媽媽姐姐,兩哥哥)從庫克島到紐西蘭讀書。

我們住在鄉下一個很小的鎮 叫Ｏｔａｋｉ， 我們住在乳牛農場， 所以我有很多時間可以玩，當然我也要幫忙。　　


第二三四次 我們搬家到別的房子，不過還是住在Ｏｔａｋｉ。

第五次　我跟父母回去庫克島，當年我十四歲。
我住在我的島Ｍａｎｇａｉａ兩年半


第六次　我十六歲　我一個人搬家回紐西蘭。　我住在很小的鎮 叫Ｏｐｏｔｉｋｉ 一年。



之後，我去Ｈａｍｉｌｔｏｎ市的一間大學叫Ｗａｉｋａｔｏ讀書。　

我學了五年半，因為有好多好玩的活
動。我每一年都搬家。
我跟很多人住在一起，我只有買一張床和一個衣櫃。
那個時候我交了很多好朋友。

六個月之後我開始工作。所以我可以買新的東西。



接下來的五年我在Ｈａｍｉｌｔｏｎ搬很多次家。

我旅行一年的時間，我去過新加坡，泰國，歐洲。

之後我開始工作，在七年之間，我每年去歐洲不過大部分待在德國，差不多三個禮拜到四個月。
