I arrived in Christchurch in the morning. My host mother, Jane, met with me at the airport. On our drive home, she asked me many questions my life. He was very kind and had an outgoing personality. I was looking forward to staying with her and her husband, Paul, for ten days. Arrived at her house, I was first shown to my room. It was her son's room, which was away at college. While I was unpacking, I hear Jane calling me to come to lunch. The dishes she served was delicious. After lunch, Paul told me about the history of Christchurch. According to Paul, the four trees standing in center of the city stand for the four ships in which the original settler came here. I wish I had studied the history of the city more thorough before I came.
