Prologue
It’s been awhile since my last post. I moved to Phoenix Arizona in September 2018 and found a new job. Havn’t found a lot of free time to manage this website.
During this New Zealand trip, there is a outbreak of China coronavirus. By far I would say it’s pretty ugly. Now, I want to squeeze some time and share some photos I took for this trip and previous trips in 2018, 2019. Who knows what’s gonna happen tomorrow. Mankind is very fragile against nature.

After 24 hours of flights plus connecting time, my cousin, his friends and I finally arrived at Queenstown.
