Here we are!!
Hi everybody, my name is Rosalba but you can call me Rosi, it is much easier...especially for the Anglo-Saxon world.
I'm Italian but I live in New Zealand at the moment. I've been living here for a while and I think the Kiwi land is just amazing. I was thinking to tell you something about this little part of the world in my blog and I would really happy if you ask me any questions, I'll try to answer to everyone, I promise!! Let me know if you rather want to speak about something else, I like suggestions and advices but I think New Zealand is not a very known country and it would be nice discover new places and traditions.
Let me tell you what Aotearoa means.......it is a Maori word but I will have the time to explain everything I know about this people! Anyway Aotearoa means "The land of the long white cloud". I'm sure you are wondering why this name....you will discover it later on!
Well, I guess I should tell you something more about myself before starting seriously this blog...
I am thirty-year-old, married with an incredible Italian man, Ivano and I am a food technologist. You probably are wondering why we decided to come so far away. Uhmm, there are many reasons actually. First of all, we would like to reach a very good knowledge of English language. In fact I think that understanding, writing and speaking a good English will help us to learn more about what's going on in the World. I mean that many scientific reviews, financial articles and even speeches held by Prime Ministers, Presidents and so on are international, to put it better... in English.
Well, I reckon it's enough as introduction of myself for now. I really hope I will have the time to write every day so that we will know each other better and I look forward to "meet" my teacher!!!
The day is just starting here and in Europe a the night is coming....timing is strange, don't you think so?
Kissis

Nice to meet you Rosalba! I´m Ana Paula from Brazil. In fact, I´ve heard that New Zealand has a fantastic landscape. I´m looking forward to hearing more from you. Hmm... by the way Rosi, I´m curious about your job. Could you please tell us a bit more about it? Best wishes and welcome!!!! Ana Paula.
Hello Rosi :) You are right that New Zealand is not a well-known country and it would be nice to learn about it and its traditions a little bit. You say you are married to an Italian but have you got any children? I'm looking forward to your next blog. Until next time.
Welcome to this blog Rosi. Wow Kiwi land! I there many Kiwis or what. Can you tell me the History of this Land? I don't think New Zealand is very unknown, We Indians learnt from KG standard you can find Kiwis in New Zealand, also it better known for Cricket ;). I am much more interested about New Zealand. It will be great if you put some photos of Kiwi Land . You said you are a food technologist, can u briefly describe your job. I think your job is much enjoyable, am I right? Waiting for your answers. Take care, bye.
Hello Rosi and welcome on borad! It will be interesting to learn about New Zealand over the next month. I think I'm going to come up with so many questions for you about the Kiwi land. Best wishes, Naheed
Hi Rosi, pleased to meet you. I feel somehow close to you. Maybe it's because I am the same age as you, my job is also related to food(I'm a cook) and I lived in New Zealand for just over a year. As you said, that country is just amazing and so beautiful. Now I think I should have traveled much more while I was living there. Are you living in the South Island or the North? I'm looking forward to your stories about New Zealand. Ciao!
Hi Rosi, a warm welcome to the blog!!! I'm Mercè a woman from Spain. I'm married with Josep and we have a daughter who is 15. I'm 46 years old and I'm a lawyer. Really, you will notice that this blog is a great oportunity to improve your English and, at the same time, make friends all over the world. I wish to know many things about you. Are you writing from New Zeland or from Italy? See you soon!!! Mercè
A very warm welcome from the plus 50 degrees of Ahwaz in Iran to Rosi. Your English sounds very good. Looking forward to learning a lot from you during this month. All the best, H.
Hello Rosi, a warm welcome to you. What a wonderful chance and challenge to work in New Zealand. Or are you and your husband there on a long holiday? What has a food technologist to do in his job? I'm sure you'll tell us a lot of interesting things about the country and its habitans. All the best Felicitas
Hi Rosi, Hearty welcome to the blog and looking forward to hear from you more in this month. Happy blogging!.
Hi Rosi,pleased to meet you .I'm Elena from Tadjikistan. I wish you good luck and if you could explain to me as the technologist why in the west food products used in I peep genetically change, thus doing them practically not edible and unhealthy. Waiting for your answers.All the best
Hi Rosi, you’ve got a nice name. Welcome to this blog. I’m from India. Italy and India. No, these two names aren’t only having similar first letter but also vibrant culture, colourful history and even today’s politics. Yes…… politics. I think you might know the name of the most powerful woman in India. Right……… Sonia Gandhi. Listed in a well known magazine’s 100 most powerful persons in the world. What a connection between these two countries! Back to southern hemisphere. As you say in this blog I’m surprised by that despite having stunning landscape, breathtaking beaches and lush tropical rain forest (though I’ve never been there! Thanks to the New Zealand tourism board’s ambitious campaign here in an Indian tourism fair where I went at last weekend) this country is relatively less known to the rest of the world. But here in India, New Zealand is well known for one of its particular sport! Guess……. :-) Yes, Cricket! It’s extremely popular in India. Just like soccer in Europe and Latin America. Cricket is considered as a religion in India. Oh, I’ve forgotten to ask you some questions. When you first stepped in to New Zealand what was your first reaction about this country? And what do you really miss about Italy in New Zealand? It’s nice to know that you’re a food technologist. Of course I would like to see a blog with food related topic at next time. I’m looking forward for your next post.
Hi Rosi welcome to the blog. How do you feel/think about living another country as a foreigner? What are the advantages :)) and disadvantages :(( except for improving english? and also I wonder what kind of country of New Zeland is (as a life style.) BBC web pages give us many chances, one of them is to know the country I will never go.I would like listening to your thoughts about New Zeland through the person's eye who is italian. I am lookig forward to waiting your writings. Happy blogging.
Hi Rosi, Welcome to this magic world of bloggers. What a coincidence! Just a few weeks ago my husband and I were watching a programme about New Zealand and it caught our attention. Then an article was published on our local newspaper and we reckoned that it was an amazing country and that it would be great to go to live there. How is the pace of life there? I learned that it hasn't a big population and that it has the 4 seasons. Well, I'm looking forward to your next blog. Best wishes, Cris
Nice to meet you Rosy! I'm Luis from Venezuela. I'm looking forward to know about Italy but it would also be very nice to learn something about New Zealand and your experience in these beatiful country. Please Rosy, tell me if you know any Venezuelan people there and what are New Zealand's most valuable commercial fish? Waiting for your answers and best wishes.
Hi Rosi, I'd like to give you a warm welcome to the blog. I'm sure this month will be amazing. Does your husband have the same profession as you? I'm eager to know a lot about you, your job, your family and New Zealand. Good bye for now and welcome again.
Wow!!!!!!!!!Hello Rosi! I can't beleave that you are in New Zealand right now...Please, tell me more about this fantastic place and your reasons for staying there. I'M GREEN WITH ENVY!!!!!!!!Ups... I forgot--Welcome to the blog!!!!
Hi Rosi. Nice to meet you. I'm sure it'll be a very interesting month chatting about you and New Zealand. As you said, this is not a very well known country. Rugby, kiwis and white wine, that's what New Zealand means to me. But certainly there must be many more things in those couple of islands in the middle of Pacific Ocean. Best wishes and till next.
Hi Rosia a very warm welcome to you. Your English sounds very good to me! The student blog is a fantastic way to improve our English, I’m sure that you’ll learn a lot during this month and make friends from all over the world. I’m very curios about your job, could you tell us a bit more about it? And how is the weather in New Zealand? I’m looking forward your next entry, best wishes Bruno!!!
Hi Rosalba, welcome to this community. My grandfather was Italian and we like your country a lot. From which part are you? I visited Italy twice, last time on 2001, when I could visit little villages in the north. I wait for your stories about New Zeland.
