Kiu Yan ZHAO - Letter to My Future Self

 Kia ora Kiu Yan ZHAO,


I am Kiu Yan ZHAO who came from 2023. When you receive the letter, I know that the first significant problem has been resolved. You are still alive! Congratulations! 

Is Covid still influencing people? Have you got Covid? If it was not, it would be such a wonderful thing. People finally can back to life before Covid. If it still existed, I am sure that scientists would find out the resolution.

Let us talk about your University courses. Have you finished it? Have you learned something that can help you? I hope I can hear the answer but I cannot. However, I know it depends on both of us. So I would try my best in future. 

Have you had your income? It is the thing I truly wish I can do since we all know that money is important. Nonetheless, remember that money is not everything. You should also take care of yourself. A healthy lifestyle and body are the most important and easy things you can get. So please be kind to yourself.

Have you ever been back to China or gone to travel? Have you developed any other habitats that you are interested in? I hope I can do these with my own money. Fortunately, I will not hear any reply from you. That makes me more motivated to create an unpredictable future.

I hope that you still exploring something, no matter in which aspect. It is the key point that makes a person keep going. I hope that you still focus and strength on yourself, it is necessary and never too much. I hope that you would not receive the letter, it is too cruel for you to complete those expectations and it is unfair. It is a letter for myself.

Never regret any choices that I have made.



Kind regards,

Kiu Yan ZHAO

    Hi Kiu Yan, I liked the first paragraph of your blog entry because it made me laugh in addition to being a good point: Being alive is certainly something worth celebrating amidst all the potential possibilities.

Fishing makes me happy -LEIL

To be honest, I have almost never fishing in China.  After coming to Dunedin, I started to like fishing. Dunedin is near the sea and there are many suitable fishing spots nearby. I like to go fishing in Port Chalmers on weekends with my friends. I think fishing helps me to release stress, exercise my willpower, and we will have fish to eat.

Market Day Debrief - Nagisa Kanakubo

   Today's market was fun because there were a lot of shops. I saw accessory shops and clothes shops and tried a game, too.  It was the most interesting that many of the accessories were made by people. Both of the students and the sellers seemed to enjoy the market.  I felt this market was one of the interesting cultures for the students and the local people in New Zealand.

Surveillance Technology-Nagisa Kanakubo

  I think surveillance technology is necessary for our safety. However, it can be dangerous thing.  That technology is very useful to prevent crime and keep cities safe. In fact, there are so many CCTV cameras all over my country. And I have never been involved in crime. That tells us thanks to them, we can live more peacefully. However, some of them make me uncomfortable. For example, when I realize that someone is watching my movement, shopping habits and myself, I feel scared even if I don’t have nothing to hide. In other words, I worry that someone can identify me if my personal information is leaked.  In short, surveillance technology is important, but I feel that our privacy may be invaded.
