New Zealand: Blenhiem - Malaysian gathering in Blenhiem

Alright i have dine in Havelock, Kaikuora trip and soon i have Nelson Lakes National Park trip to update, i know i delay alot, but believe it or not, i have a lot of things to do recently, free lancer work and friend visit (almost everyday!), i have too little my own time to update my blog.

Alright as i promised, this is the Malaysian gathering held in Blenheim, the town away from Motueka like 3 hours.

I was invited by a friend, who is one of the group member of malaysian in NZ, thinking of i never visit blenheim (i just passby), so i said yes for the invitation, and invite Dino and Alice together, as they wanna visit a old friend of them in Blenheim as well.

Shelly is friend of Dino and Alice, she is a PR and living here for few years here, very nice person and let us stay at her place for a night, and she decided to join the gathering too!

The party in western country is different with eastern country, the organizer just be the contact person and provide the space of party, food and drink organize by everyone who is coming to the party.

Everyone bring Malaysia foods like nasi lemak, roti canai, curry, fried rice noodle, except me, i brought pizza (hey i got this invitation the day before the party!).

Had great time and get to know alot of friends in the party!

The next day, Dino and Alice brought me to the famous bay of Blenheim, Monkey Bay and White Sand Bay, famous with CRAYFISH and ABALONE!

But bad weather that day, we only stand by the beach and watching those professional fisherman to catch crayfish, abalone and white bait.

But for me, the best view of Blenheim ain't the bays, but the vineyard. Blenheim is famous with the vineyard, produce a lot of grapes and wines every year, and this is the reason why they need a lot of human resource in harvesting the grapes, many backpackers who is holding holiday working visa are staying in Blenheim, plenty of job opportunity

We decided to treat Shelly for lunch for her kindness.

In the restaurant that recommend by her in Blenheim.

Alright stay tuned for next post!
