Hi, ladies and gents!!
This is a series of articles from last one which entitles 'Adventure in NZ part1'.
Anyway, I arrived at Hamilton airport of NZ after unconfortable flight, and then I headed for immgration clearance, but I didn't think I could go through there easily because my purpose to come here was different from other passengers. I think no one come to NZ to play soccer from oversea, especially This Hamilton is pretty small and minor city, it's like town. Maybe no tourists visit this town.
So, I thought I would be stopped and asked some quetions why did I come here. As expected, I was stopped for about a half hour and asked some quetion like where you would stay tonight...somethig like that.
I was also checked my luggage inside, but there was a key to pass the immgration. You quess what??
Because I'm JAPANESE.
I guess Japanese is known as more reliable person than other asian country. This is just my opinion, so I don't know exactly wheather it's right, but at least.....
Anyway I could pass it at all and I hadn't decided where I would stay at that night, so I had to look for accomodation first. At fisrt I started looking for a tourist center in the town. There is usually a tourist center in every city which we can get heaps of information about each cities, so we can also get the information about accomodation, for example we can ask where is the cheapest hotel. That's very convenience shop for us.
I also booked hotel from there and I could find the place can stay next few days smoothly.
And the next day, I had a first training for the soccer club...
You shall know that at next entry how did I go.
すみません、このお題をシリーズ化しているのをすっかり忘れてました。笑
そう、ＮＺに降り立ったのはいいものの、予想通り入国審査で捕まりました。昔一人でイギリスに行ったときも同じように捕まったなぁ。。
ていうても、止められるのは予想してたし、時間かかるやろうから列の最後尾にいました。笑
んで、「何しに来たんだ？」だの「何で泊まるホテルないのにきたん？」だの散々質問され、最後はナショナルリーグの入団テストに来たっていうのと、やっぱり「日本人」っていうので通れました。
みな知ってますか？日本人はほんまに国際的に安全人物で通ってるから、韓国人や中国人に比べてこんな審査の時まじ楽です。それはほんまに思う。
これが中国人パスポートやと、もっと拘束されたかもなぁ。。。
皆さん、日本人に生まれたからには海外に行きましょう！！じゃなきゃ損！！
って脱線しましたが、その後ホテルがないのでそのまま空港の普通のイスで就寝。結局荷物取られたらたまらんし、寝心地最悪でほぼ寝れず。
んで、朝イチでタクシーで中心街へ！ってここで問題発生！！絶対このタクシーのおばはんにボッたくられた！！！このやろう！！
１０分くらい乗っただけやのに５０ドルはないべさ！そんときは寝ぼけてたしＮＺってこんなもん？っておもたけど後々考えたらありえへん。
で、観光案内所みたいなとこ探して、格安のホテル予約してもらってホテルはすぐ見つかりました。
そして次の日、さぁトライアウトの始まりです！！
。。。。。すみません、まだ続くみたいです。笑
