#紐西蘭北島景點分享
來到紐西蘭的首都威靈頓，果然與南島的城鎮感受大大不同，而這間 #紐西蘭蒂帕帕國立博物館 更是南半球最大的博物館，除了有豐富的毛利文化館藏，我們很幸運的看到了非常精彩的展覽「加里波利 : 戰爭之殤」
這個展覽是以電影場景的概念去呈現的，道具則是由製作魔戒道具的威塔工作室完成，當展覽不再是年代表和乏味的影音介紹，而是栩栩如生的場景擺在眼前，即使我們對第一次世界大戰中的這一段歷史完全不了解，也能從中感受出殖民地人民對於國家認同與戰爭的無奈。
這個展覽會一直到2022年的4月，若正好這段期間有到威靈頓旅行的朋友，記得要將這個展覽也安排進去行程內喔！

#2018紐西蘭南北島
Spent three productive days here in New Zealand. Enjoyed catching up with many Singaporeans living and studying in Auckland, learning about their lives here, and sharing news and memories of home. Then met old friends Philip Burdon (Chairman, Asia:NZ Foundation) and Don McKinnon (former NZ Deputy Prime Minister) who have done much for Singapore-NZ relations, at dinner hosted by the Asia:NZ Foundation. Also met two young New Zealanders who studied at NUS on Asia:NZ Foundation scholarships: Tessa McGregor (civil engineering) and Robina Ang (bio-engineering). Both enjoyed their time in Singapore and have built life-long friendships.
Yesterday, I called on PM John Key in Wellington, as well as Governor-General Terry Mateparae. Both not only lived several years in Singapore, but have a child each born in Singapore too! Also learnt much about Maori culture and history at the Te Papa Tongarewa, the national museum of New Zealand.
Today I wrapped up my visit with a tour of our Navy frigate the RSS Stalwart that is in harbour in Wellington. The weather was chilly, but we had a warm time on board, meeting the crew, plus other Singaporeans living here who were also visiting the ship. The Stalwart is mid-way through RSN’s longest naval deployment this year. I wish the ship and crew all the best for their voyage and exercises. They return to Singapore in November.
I am next heading to Australia, and will have more to post then. - LHL
