We are a Vietnamese family living in New Zealand for over 17 years , we loves the NZ's environment , the people here are nice and friendly, and we are located in the heart of Papatoetoe , where it called "Golden Circle" , just a few steps to bus stop , couple of minutes to train station , surrounding by Papatoetoe central school , Papatoetoe intermediate school and Papatoetoe high school, Puihinui school, catholic school etc...and quite a few number of church around, 10 minutes to the big shopping centre, its a very good location for someone that wanted to use public transports to schools, shops etc...
We cooks every afternoon for our dinner, and the meals is always different from the previous day, especially sometimes we cooks some very famous Vietnamese traditional dishes like beef noodle soup (Pho Bo), Hue spicy beef noodle soup (Bun Bo Hue) etc...
Mom and dad loves their garden, dad spends most of his day time in the garden, and reading books.
About myself, i'm a timber joiner, i have been working on timber joinery industry for over 15 years, you will see there is a few timber furniture at home that made by me. I like to play golf, and i normally have a round on the nice weekend , i used to play soccer and badminton also, but am getting a bit slow now so kind of giving up those speed game.
Sometimes we go out for a fishing trip, just to get out of the land, fishing is something that everyone should try when they in NZ.
