Haha today I went Levin.. 1 hour drive out of Palmerston North... I left at about 11.10am and came back at 5.25pm...That place is nice.. a centre for horticulture and agriculture. Basically it's a small town, with small shops lining up the whole streets at the city centre. The first shop I went was Levin Mall.. I went into the shop 'save the children'. Most of the proceeds they earn from retail will go overseas in helping the African children tide over their poverty. Then I had a little chat with the shop tender. She's Betty.. and she showed me how to go to all the factory shops by drawning me a map haha... So I bought a merino sheep soft toy for my friend.. and a buzzy bee.. New Zealand all time favourite toy.. So it's a must-buy.. lol... then I just walked and walked and walked.. passed by a home-made bakery shop.. then popped in to buy a banana flapjack and apple tart.. wow and they were so yummy and sweet to the taste.. love it.. so ang mo style haha...
Next stop... went to Horowhenua Town Council... Took some brochures and asked some enquiries.. I oso went to i-site.. then took some more brochures.. Finally.. I arrived at the Sovenoir Factory shop at Keepa St.. it's actually a shop that does mass printing of t-shirts.. inside they got sell school uniforms as well.. and I bought a school sweater, from Waiopehu college, meaning 'waio'=water, & 'pehu'=hills and valley.. it actually represents Levin itself.. Levin is close to the sea coast and it's a hilly region.. Levin originated from Levi itself.. ahaha yea..
So my next station: Lindsay Royal Socks Factory Shop
Consequence: Cannot find it... walked out of Levin into expressway.. still cant find it..
Changed motive and direction.
Turned left into another factory shop.. knitting factory shop.. got alot of knitted and woolen sweaters and vests. The men's designs are really nice.. lots of selections.. women's ones not nice.. so I ended up grabbing sth from the cart that sells each clothing @ $25.. they are actually summer clothes.. so because now it's autumn and approaching winter.. most of their clothes are centred on winter coats.. So i bought 3.. paid $75 and went out.. then hor.. found out that I have only 1o min to walk back all the way to the town centre.. my ankles almost break ah.. and I have 3 full bags with me.. how I run lol... I dun wanna run too.. so pai seh la.. lol.. So tired.. and I was rushing by the road side.. and beside me is the railway track.. so cool.. today I saw one train passing by, and another train went by but I didnt see.. only heard.. lol.. so fun la.. haha still horned when it passed by.. Yea.. as I was rushing.. I was puffing in all the hydrocarbon.. So unhealthy!! Where's my oxygen...
*Fast Forward*
Arrived @ the bus-stop.. I was late 5 minutes.. where's my nakedbus? I mean the bus is called naked.. ttz the brand ok... Oh no! I missed the bus! I thought. So horrified until I looked here and there and a sense of hopelessness that is so instant.. Then saw one guy seating on the chair then I asked him whether he saw my nakedbus... oh alright.. The bus hasnt come.. it was late.. OIC.. straight-way on the bus.. I felt a slumber.. until "This is Massey" then I cannot afford to sleep anymore.. my stop was next.. haha.. Cool man.. Going out of my town into another.. Can see lots lots of things and people..
i give Levin.. **** 4 stars
