I joined a blog challenge back in February, A to Z challenge, where we wrote a post a day based on the alphabet during the month of April, my posts were about “Towns in New Zealand”.

You had quite a challenge and arose to the it!! I enjoy learning about other countries. I would love to hear of different cultures or customs from your country next year. How does that sound?

Thanks for your kind comment.
Yes, I think different cultures or customs is a great idea.
Something I need to learn first is how to speak Maori, could be a good start.

Thanks for sharing so much about New Zealand. Here in the USA, I don’t think we hear enough about your country. It was interesting to hear about some of the other towns and cities, besides Auckland and Christchurch.
