Christmas Plan of First Year in NZ

Christmas is coming soon! It is means our holiday is coming soon as well and I am delight to that. Defferent from there, in China, Christmas Festival is not a tronditional day for local people. But sevearal people also would to celebrate it and organise some activities in this day this their families or firends, such as enjoying themselves in bar or joining a parade. Now, it's my first to celebrate christmas in other country and I plan to travel around the South Island during the day involving Queenstown and Christchurch before the festival, by the vehicle I wanting to rent. Eventually, I'd like to join the a family Christmas of my hostfamily and it sounds iteresting to do that. Merry Chrismas!

What is an important purpose of Christmas Day?

Hello There,

In my personal opinion, I think Christmas is a holiday before New Year, Its biggest holiday in Europ, American, Oceania and more country but I totally do not know what is an important purpose of Christmas Day?  Nowadays, the World was changed, people are open to the ideas, the faith or anything. Anyway, I don't want to be serious in my writing. So, back to the topic, Christmas is coming but I don't have any plan to do. Actually, I want to go to do volunteering in a farm at the west coast, New Zealand for my Christmas holiday, By the way, I am not sure my parents are allowed to do that because they are quite strict and don't want to me go round for traveling. Nevertheless, maybe I won't tell my parent to do that.

Marry Christmas!

This is my second time to celebrate Merry Christmas in New Zealand after five years. It is expected because I will celebrate this festival with my brother in Auckland, I will make dumplings and baking cakes to my brother. as the same time, I will enjoy my holiday and will recharge myself for welcoming the new year. I wish we will be happy and full with love and kindness in our new year.
Happy Christmas Day everybody!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas for all my friends.

It's very happy to think off the plan of Christmas. Since I Just stay in New Zealand for only 2 months, I will not come back my hometown so fast. I have a plan to travel around. Maybe I will choose like Auckland,Willingtom. I didn't plan the details, because I just want relax. In addition,I may see my friend who lives in Auckland. Spending time with friends seems like a good choice, which helps me stay away from loneliness.

Merry Christmas !

This year in Christmas holiday I am going to Queenstown with my classmate and friends. I will venture with new things like bungee jumping,  it is really exciting! Moreover, I am planning to visit Sydney where is in Australia to discover it and the fireworks which is amazing!

Christmas is coming!!

Christmas is coming!! I have never celebrated Christmas party in Thailand. It’s quite strange for me because they don’t have Christmas holiday in Thailand. They have only New Year holiday in few days. We always cerebrate with family. My family had dinner in our house and talk together about the last year. So, I’m excited about Christmas break this year so much. Me and my friend plan to travel to Queenstown and spend the best time together before the Christmas. I really need to relax in this Christmas holiday. Hope you a Merry Christmas!!  

Christmas holiday

It’s my first time to spend Christmas in summer. I'm looking forward to Summer Christmas. I want to go to a lot of places. Now, I’m planning to go to Christchurch. I want to visit Christcurch Botanic Gardens. I also want to go to Otago peninsula and see Larnach CastleI and penguins. My hobby is to take pictures. Therefore, I want to take many pictures in New Zealand. I hope we’ll have a good time in Christmas holiday.

How will you celebrate Christmas this year?

How will you celebrate Christmas, 2018?

The 25th of December is an exciting time of year in New Zealand. It is full of wonder and excitement for children and the promise of a break/change of routine, not to mention the new year just around the corner, for adults. It can be a lovely time of year with social engagements and end-of-year gatherings, but it can be chaotic and a stressful time with family visits and the perceived need for Christmas presents to be chosen and purchased for family members. I can only dream of finding a lovely beach to lie on by myself (like the Santa in the picture above), but will most likely be spending it making (gingerbread cookies, pancakes and strawberries, pavlova) and eating an array of food (and put on a few kilos!) with my husband, and my two children. We will most likely open a few presents and sing some Christmas carols and drive to park to kick a ball around together. 

What will you be doing?

Dance Lesson

Dance Lesson

Degas is known as the "classic painter of modern life". His work has an innovative composition, meticulous depiction and expression of movement. It is often considered to belong to impressionism, but some of his work styles are more classical, realistic or romanticist.
The “Dance Lesson” is his most well-known work. The picture is including exquisite and charming, the composition is exquisite, and the space extends just right. The classic techniques of interpret each other, using light and actor's delicate and beautiful movements. The colour is soft and there is no lack of contrast.

Tibetan Mandala

There is one of the most unique and exquisite religious arts in Tibetan Buddhism.
At large Dharma events, the lamas in the monastery depict the bizarre world of Buddha with millions of grains of sand, a process that can last for days or even months. However, the Lamas have worked hard to create a beautiful three-dimensional picture, which has not been used to show off its beauty to the world. The world depicted in sand will be swept away without hesitation, in an instant to vanish ... The fine sand will be loaded into the bottle and dumped into the river.


The sand painting of the altar city is built of special fine sand. Because sand is the most basic element of building the world, Shashi is difficult to build and easy to destroy, beautiful and fragile, in the blink of an instant, the most concrete to reveal the world  "illusory impermanence " of the empty nature. The white sand used is made by hand grinding special stones, including gold, turquoise, agate and other precious metals and ores, and then dyed, only to become the basic material of Shashi. There are white, black, blue, red, yellow, green six colors, in addition to white black, the four colors are divided into deep, medium and light three levels, a total can be blended into 14 colors. Generally speaking, blue, yellow, red, green, white five basic colors, corresponding to the five-party Buddha and five wisdom.


Draw the altar city is a difficult and meticulous process, lamas to wear a mask, pre-grinding into small granular sand in a special conical container, through or light or heavy banging to control the flow, the sand leaking on the template, carefully stacked, sketched, and to concentrate, meticulous, slightly careless, will be undone, depending on the size.


It takes several days to several months to wait. From an artistic point of view, the whole picture is rigorous in structure and rich in color, and the meaning of religion is well put into place with the help of the layered and heavy media of sand grains. Whether it is sitting in the middle of the Buddha, or around the Buddha around the appearance of the different creatures, or around the world around that circle of ethereal qi, are just right to have their own charm, and harmonious composition of the world of perfection.


What is even more breathtaking is that this unique creative technique limits the possibility of too much change, so the whole picture must be one go, just as monks write the familiar worldview of their own brains. From the point of view of behavior, the monks ' own creative process also fits in with the intention of the picture. The long creation, the short joy after success, then is the destruction without hesitation. When this sandy altar city is finished and after the law meeting. It is dispersed from the outer layers of sand to the inner layer, representing all the old death and return to its heart at the beginning of the situation. In addition, it expresses the impermanence and emptiness of the world

Children of the Fog at Dunedin School of Art

Children of the Fog at Dunedin School of Art 

This is a painting art ( by Paola Garcia Casanova ), "Children of the Fog" The artist used a newspaper for her art and painting a face of children on the newspaper page. She panned 44 faces of children on 44 newspaper pages. Some of the paper showing the children faces, which has a felling and one a face have more one felling or one emotion. In addition, some of the paper quite pitying, scary, fearful. etc,  I think the artist is going to show about the truth of the word. 

Excursion to the Dunedin School of Arts : Vicarious

This picture attracts me so much. It draws inspiration from the efforts of Alfred Stieglitz who declared his 1920's cloud photographs to be the equivalents of music, emotion and his philosophy of his life. When I watched this picture at first, I don't understand the artist as well but I like the colour of sky. It feels a bad cloudy but it has some light on the sky. It makes me feel better. And then, I read the explanation. I thought I can comprehend the real meaning. This picture is amazing for me.

Art Exhibition--The Cream

Art Exhibition--The Cream

Unfortunately, I didn't find something interested in the art museum last week. Thus I decided to express to another artwork I saw it before on the website which named THE CREAM. 
Beneath a boiling sky, aflame with yellow, orange and red, an person wears a  blue coat, which he holds up two hands on either side of his hairless head. His eyes wide with shock, he unleashes a bloodcurdling shriek.  The felling of mine about this picture is that there is no God now, no tradition, no habits or customs – just poor man in a moment of crisis, facing a world he doesn’t understand and can only has feeling of panic.
