He nui te pānga o te COVID-19 ki a mātou i ngā tau e toru kua pahure ake nei, engari i whakapā tonu mātou ki tā mātou kiritaki o Nōwei, ki a Kristian. Nō nā tata nei i homai e ia he ota ki a mātou, ā, i toro atu hoki ki tā mātou wheketere hei tirotiro kei te pai ngā mea katoa, ā, i tono anō hoki kia mahi tahi anō mātou a meake nei.
I tikina ia e mātou i te taunga rererangi o Shanghai PVG, ā, i whakaurua ia ki tō mātou hōtēra o Suzhou. I te rā tuatahi, i tū he hui hei whakamōhio i a mātou anō me ngā taipitopito, ā, i haereere hoki mātou i tō mātou awheawhe whakaputa. I te rā tuarua, i haria ia e mātou ki te tirotiro i te awheawhe o tō mātou wheketere hoa mahi, kia kite ai i ētahi atu taputapu ma e hiahia ana ia.
Ehara i te mahi anake, engari i rite anō hoki māua ki ngā hoa. He tangata tino hoa, he tangata hihiri hoki ia. I mauria mai e ia ētahi koha motuhake o te rohe pērā i te Norsk Aquavit me te pōtae raumati me te tohu o tana kamupene, me ētahi atu. I hoatu e mātou ki a ia ngā taonga tākaro whakarerekē kanohi o te Sichuan Opera me te pouaka koha motuhake me ngā momo kai maha.
Koinei te wā tuatahi i toro atu ai a Kristian ki Haina, he wā pai hoki tēnei māna ki te haereere huri noa i Haina. I haria ia e mātou ki tētahi wāhi rongonui i Suzhou, ā, i whakakitea atu hoki ētahi atu āhuatanga Hainamana ki a ia. I tino harikoa mātou i roto i te Māra Ngāherehere o te Raiona, ā, i tino rangimārie, i tino marino hoki mātou i roto i te Temepara o Hanshan.
Ki tā mātou whakaaro ko te mea tino harikoa mō Kristian ko te kai i ngā momo kai Hainamana. I karanga mātou i a ia kia whakamātau i ētahi kai reka o te rohe, ā, i haere hoki ki te kai i te Hi hot pot. Ka haere ia ki Beijing me Shanghai i ngā rā e whai ake nei, nō reira i tūtohu mātou i ētahi atu kai Hainamana pērā i te Beijing Duck, te Lamb Spine Hot Pot, me ētahi atu wāhi pērā i te Great Wall, te Whare Taonga o te Whare Ariki, te Bund, me ētahi atu.
Ngā mihi nui ki a koe e Kristian. Kia pai tō wā ki Haina!
