Introduction to author

Kia Ora ladies and Gentleman!

My name is Aliff Dannial and I am doing an E-portfolio on New Zealand. This post will be a short introduction on why I chose New Zealand for this assignment. Personally, I fell in love with New Zealand and its culture when I first visited in 2007. I was on an exchange programme.

I arrived in Auckland where I stayed with my host for most of the period I was there. I was introduced to the Maori culture which I instantly fell head over heels for. I went hysterical each time we would go to a Maori culture showcase. Note hysterical; like diehard fans of Korean and Japanese pop idols.

Ever since, I have always had a soft spot for New Zealand and the Maori culture. This has led me to choose it for this assignment. Thus, enjoy reading and I hope you will learn a lot from it. Who knows, you might even love it!
