Museums are usually made of stone, or concrete or steel and glass. Seldom can we see a museum made of timber. Rotorua Museum of Art and History is this type of timber-made museums which is as magnificent as a palace. I like its outlook and the colour of its roofs, orange to golden. The small towers at its roof-tops make it look extraordinary. The long windows and the decorations on the outside walls turn it into a modest, traditional old building in early times.
In front of it is a grass lawn with a carpet of short grass. Ying Ping and Ho Keung took a nice photo with arms crossing each other. It seems to me that they returned to the time they first met. They both set up a very good pose before the camera.
Opposite to this grand museum was a lonely house, not very big, but comfortable enough for a small family. I like it too!

We agree that this is a magnificient and elegant building.
Thank you for your compliment. You and your family have been very supportive to us and we really appreciate it.
We like the small house too except that we have too much junk.
To me, this grand building is like what we call a Golden House (黃金屋).
A Chinese saying says, "書中自有黃金屋".
Now I can say, "紐西蘭自有黃金屋".
Yes, it looks just as what you say.
For you, it is "書中自有顏如玉". You and Ga Tse were high schoolmates and then both studied at the same teaching college.
