久违了~

好久都没有更新我的部落格~

在纽西兰，的确是时常都会有发生有趣的事件，但是通常我都没有精力或兴趣把它们放上网，只因纽西兰的网络费用实在太贵了，我有没有什么时间逗留在网上~

回来马来西亚后，才发觉到我竟然要花时间适应~

适应天气，适应每时每刻都满身大汗的感觉，适应面部皮肤总是油油的~

适应车辆及人的数量~ 适应闷闷的空气~

总之就是一大堆不习惯的事物~

这是我始料不及的，还以为生活了二十多年的国家，会比一个陌生国家容易适应。

结果却是纽西兰比马来西亚容易适应~ 我真的比较适合住在外国吗？？ @_@

在Taupo疯狂暴走~

10个小时，应该是我来到纽西兰以后，最高的行走记录吧~

在这10个小时里，我仅仅只坐下了大约10分钟，其他的时间都在赶路~

首先从Taupo市中心往Huka Falls走去，原来地图上的行走路线，竟然是要爬山坡的？

接下来又从这里往craters of the moon去，又是走上山坡，要走2公里才到达~ 到达后又花了1个小时参观整个冒烟的山林~ 从这个景点走出来后，往更远的Huka Prawn Park走去~这里是著名的地热养虾场，原来养的都是马来西亚品种哦~可是这里的虾特别好吃，是因为它们的饲料是炒蛋和本地青口~

他们的产量有36吨，却没有办法供应给别人，因为全数的虾都被参观虾场的观光客在餐厅里吃光了！！ 参观虾场后，我才知道原来虾是互相残杀的动物~ 它们最喜欢的食物，竟然是虾！常常在缸里互相吃掉对方~好可怕哦~ 它们也采用一夫多妻制，一只公虾要配七只母虾，不可多，不可少，它们才可以生存~

从虾场走回市中心的时候，途经Honey Hive，一个专门让公众尝试不同的蜜糖，及购买蜜糖和许多周边产品的地方，是时间买些手信回去了~

后来我又背着这些礼品，又由着山路走回去~ 走回到接近住宿的地方的时候，天色已经很暗了，而且还刮着寒风，让满身大汗的我，觉得特别冷~

我想我真的是傻了,才会在一天里完成这些景点。如果我有车的话，这些景点更本不算什么~可以在半天就走完了。走完后，我这才真正尝到行走者的痛苦啊~

已经不是很冷了~

在威灵顿的第六天，也是在北岛的第六天，这里的天气果然像大家所说的，并没有南岛寒冷。

经历了南岛的寒冷考验后，北岛的天气一点都不难挨~

可是威灵顿时一个特别的地方，它常年都会维持着相当大风的天气。无论是下雨或天晴，风都是很大，很猛烈的吹着~

后来听说这里的风，是特别的~ 因为它是直接来自南极的风~ 从南极到威灵顿，一路上都没有任何岛屿遮挡，所以说这里直接接收了来自南极的寒冷，呼吸着的是来自遥远南极的空气啊~ 真难想象~

这里除了大风之外，气温平均比南岛来得高，因为它的地理位置相对的与南极来的遥远~

所以，我开始不再觉得天气冷得受不了了，除非遇到了下雨又刮风，不然其实这里都还蛮适合人住的~ 怪不得纽西兰的人口都聚集在北岛~

今天是世界杯开始的第一天，一大清早我一面吃着早餐，一面和那些特地早起的人看世界杯~

看完了后，就去逛了威灵顿的星期六市场和跟团参观了政府大厦~

算是我在启程到下一个地点前，与威灵顿的饯别吧~

好累，却又睡不着。是我这几天的写照~ 好想到一个地方，可以让我好好的休息啊~

Wellington movie tour

Yup~ i went for the movie tour in wellington, a cheap half day tour that runs about 4 hours though~ as i'm not really a big fan of TLOR~ haha~

The trip starts off by visiting the place where the first shot of TLOR was done~ it's in a woods at Mt Victoria~ a few shots were done here and our tour team had a great fun re-acting the scenes~

next stop was the production studios that were owned by Peter Jackson himself. It was a factory like studio which covers a huge piece of land~ extremely expensive studio~ We aren't allowed to step into the studio as they are constantly doing secret movie projects here~ including the AVATAR set~

Just beside the huge studio, it's an resident area. When they are doing those secret movie projects, even the neighborhood won't notice what they had done~ superb in hiding the secrets~

There are a few funny stories about the studio though~ The studio itself is located in Miramir, an area near wellington town, also the location of wellington airport. In order to have smooth filming, all studio building are build with sound proof material, so that when aircraft flies by, they wont hear a thing in the studio.

Unfortunately, this method failed~ in the end, they have a very effective system called aircraft detector instead~ it's not some very complicated system, it's just they hire someone that keep an eye on the sky and informing those who are shotting in the studio when aircraft is going to fly by~ the whole team will stop and wait for the plane to pass, before they continue their work~ lol~

There are another smaller studio called Park road studio, where they do all the post production work. Beside this studio was a few warehouse liked building where they store all the movie props~ All studio of Peter Jackson is on low profile~ all buildings won't have the word movie production, or studio on them~ so normally u will just pass by without knowing that these are the place that produce so many wonderful and high tech movies~

TLOR was filmed for about 7 years~ so for the ease of the filming crew and the actors, they actually bought houses around the seaside for them to live in~ they can bring in their family and stay with them while they are filming~

Most of the design in TLOR is created based on the things that can be found in wellington~ after TLOR success, wellington is known as middle earth and film industry in wellington is known as Wellywood~ the filming of TLOR is located all over new zealand~ most landscape scene was done in south island, where the scenery was simply breathtaking~

The premier in wellington was so grand where they placed a 1 km long red carpet from the street to the main door of Embassy Theatre in Wellington town~

The success of TLOR was so great that so many years after the movie, there are still so many company that organize tour to visit the filming location all around new zealand~ although all the film setting was removed~

The next hit will be the Hobbition series that they are building film setting now~ it'll be a good timing to visit new zealand after the Hobbition movies come out~

Night view of Wellington

Just wanna share with you all~ the night view of wellington, taken from oriental bay~

I walked to oriental bay from wellington town from 4.30pm and waited until 6.00pm for these photo~ well, all i can say is, it definitely worth the wait~
