Christchurch Earthquake

I have never been to New Zealand. But I know about New Zealand, because of the earthquake that occurred in Christchurch on February 22. When it happened, I was very surprised. A lot of Japanese died due to this earthquake. I was very sad.

I have heard New Zealand is a very good country, so I want to go there once. I saw a photograph of New Zealand on a web page. I am interested in Tongariro National Park. There is much nature. I want to hike there and see nature. Also I want to go to Te Wahipounamu, where the biggest Nature Reserve in New Zealand is located.

I will save up money very hard and I want to go to New Zealand during my university life.
