Hi, I am Dinali Kidurangana from Sri lanka and I am new to New Zealand. The 24th of September was the last day that I spent my time in Sri lanka. I said goodbye to all of my friends and relatives. Everybody wished me luck and I got a lot of gifts from my friends.I know it was a sad moment but I had to leave my Country. We arrived at the airport with my relatives and finally we got into the flight. It was my very first time in a plane and it was amazing. After 13 hours of journey we landed in this beautiful country, New Zealand.

New Zealand was pretty big and finally I saw my dad and he warmly welcomed us by giving me a flower bouquet. It was a little bit cold but we were so happy to be in this country.Although I was sad to leave my country, I was able to overcome my sadness by seeing the beauty of New Zealand. We went to see the sky tower. It was gorgeous and when  I was at the top of the tower, I could see the whole Auckland city. I think I am very lucky to be able to come here and I really love everything about this country.
