Winter season has officially started today. Nothing much here except cold. I did not buy any new jumper for myself when I came. I have 1 from a friend and another from my brother.
Based on the advised from couple friends came back from UK, only 1 jumper is enuough. And I would like to say, whoever want to come to New Zealand during this time, please bring as much jumper as you can, as the cold here is at an extreme level. Especially for backpackers, backpacker house do not usually provide you good heater.
Furthermore, working in a kiwi factory, there is always air-conditioning inside for the sake of the kiwis’.
I’m only at the North Island now. I shall get myself more jumper while travelling down the south.

It is too cold unless you have all the winter equipment which is very lack of by backpackers. As I don’t even have a car and I have to carry things everywhere.
