On The Other Side The Grass Is Greener

To be honest I don't like when Hungarians say "YE, HUNGARY IS THE WORST COUNTRY EVER" I've been to a lot of different cities (well at least in Europe), I think they were nice, clean, cute or beautiful but none of them was that different from Budapest. And at this point I know that I love the country and the city I live in, it's the only I know and of course this is where my friends live, etc. I couldn't imagine living elsewhere, my life was perfect there.

I wouldn"t change the fact that I want to grow up in Hungary (grow up haha), I just discerned sth. else.

This





I'm amazed at this whole country. ALL the people are helpful and kind, even if they're a bus driver or a shop assistant in the supermarket. Maybe it's because of the few population of NZ, almost everyone lives well here.
This was the big difference when we arrived to Auckland and knew nothing about the city. Even the woman who was just learning to speak English intended to explain where the supermarket was.
Since we spent 3 days there we couldn"t find the city out and didn't know where to shop cheaply (maybe it's impossible in NZ) -everything is expensive,3 apples cost about 2 dollars and you have to pay 5 for a random sandwich in the supermarket.



After recognizing how amazing people live there we started to notice the other advantages of the country, we took a bus to Wellington and had 11 hours of traveling. I wouldn't have imagined I could just stare at the landscape for hours watching hills, mountains, animals, lakes, the ocean, etc. Marko already described this, I would've written the same: when you first see the little lamb running on the huge field you are amazed but then you realize that every field has a little lamb, pork, horse, cow running artily (Kriszti!) Maybe spending your whole life on a farm there is boring but traveling through these landscapes is beautiful. The second PROMINENT thing was that altough parts of the cities were ugly (eg. these grey square-shaped buildings were awful) every part of the city was GREEN. They planted palmtrees and bushes near the biggest factories and building estates




Now we're in Picton, a little town on the coast. The sea is perfectly blue, the beach is small enough to feel at home, people are friendly, the owner of this hostel is... just amazing, everything is perfect here.







It's pretty interesting how our brains react to things (or at least mine) This whole trip is like a totally new world and I can"t even think about home. I mean I really miss my friends but not in a negative way. It's something different from the regular life and I just can't conciliate NZ and Hungary. I know I don't have to worry about everybody cause I'm gonna return back to my friends, family, country, city, room, bunny :) Anyway I know it's only the 1.week so it's easy yet. And maybe we're not going to John and his 6 dogs (OSDBFKJBDFKAJDFBABJF)
