name

I'll tell you about my name.
I've been to Chch for some months and stayed at a house with my host family near Papanui Road.
I liked the long street in a city and sometimes I walked to a shop or my friend's house through Papanui Road on foot or by bus. yes, I lived there so I had a lot of good memories. Oh!I can remember a fish and chips shop beside the street! yummy!
I like this name,Papanui. Papanui means "papa=flat and nui=huge" in Maori. So I use this my nickname! and Never forget about my NZ life.
Greetings in Maori.Maori is an official language of New Zealand.
Kia ora: hello (also: thank you)
Hei konei: bye
Kei te pēhea koe: How are you?
Kei te (tino) pai ahau: I'm (very) well
