Blues Game a winner for international students

International students cheer on the Blues in Wellington

Experiencing the sights of New Zealand's capital city was a highlight for one group of international students recently. In addition to sightseeing, the group also cheered themselves hoarse at a Blues rugby game.

"Wellington is a beautiful city with cool things to do like the museum, restaurants, shops, etc... The game was nice but it was a shame that the blues lost :/ "
