So I am sitting in the Otago library using the internet (I don't have it at home for another week or so!) Since I don't have a lot of time I will do what I do best and write everything out in lists. Here is a quick summary of what I have experienced so far in New Zealand:
*A 13 hour plane ride with on demand movies (82 to be exact) next to an awesome kiwi.
*Hanging out at the Kiwi Paka hostel and the Lava Bar with other AustraLearn students.
*A sheep show (no trip to NZ would be complete without this I guess)
*Zorbing (if you dont know what this is youtube it...It's awesome, I did it with water in mine down a zigzag course)
*Learned the Haka (again, look up the All Black Haka and see what I am talking about)
*Dinner and show at a traditional Maori Village
*Caving in a Waitomo cave (including ziplining in total darkness)
*2 propeller plane rides through rain and turbulance (had to take some drugs for that one...)
*Signing up for classes the old school way (Going around to each department, wait in line, and getting classes -or papers as they are called here- signed off on. This takes a long time for everyone, but add in the fact that we don't know where anything is here...it lasted from like 10-3:30...yikes!!)
My flat is pretty awesome, no heat, but still awesome. It's wood paneled walls so it looks like a little lodge. It's 2 floors and I have the 2nd biggest room (and a full sized bed!!) which is nice. Our rooms get pretty cold but I can just bundle up. It has rained the majority of the time I have been here but thats ok, it's still BEAUTIFUL!!!
Well that is all I can say for now, time to head back home I think.
Hopefully next time I'll be able to write a little more, sorry this has been so quick!!

I am SO jealous of you. It sounds like the ultimate summer camp in the most beautiful place on earth. Can't wait to see pictures.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had the drugs for the plane rides (the perks of having a doctor in the family), I would have had to dig my nails into the arm of whomever was sitting next to me.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy.
