My English course was supposed to start today. However, February 6th is a nation-wide holiday in New Zealand.
The holiday is to remember the Treaty of Waitangi1, signed in February 6th, 1980.
Even though my first class was canceled, most stores in New Zealand (at least in Auckland) open during the Sundays and during public holidays (sometimes in different hours though). Most stores open at 9:00 or 10:00am and go up to 4:00, 4:30, 5:00, 5:30 or 6:00pm. Right in the front of every store there is always a sign telling you the range of hours the store stays open.
