Arrowtown Chinese settlement

I visited the historic Chinese settlement in Arrowtown, New Zealand. The settlement consists of old huts built by Chinese immigrants who came to New Zealand seeking gold. The huts are a little crude, but I’m sure would have kept the miners warm in the cold winter months with the help of plenty of firewood.

My first plane (crash)

I bought my first radio controlled air plane today, a Parkzone Mini-Vapor. Having never flew a plane in my life, and not being much into reading instructions, I promptly flew it, then crashed it! Thankfully it is a hardy little machine and seems to handle the knocks quite well and should live to fly another day 🙂
