Arrival




Hey everyone!!! So I have arrived in new zealand after a lovely 13 hour flight in a seat that could barely fit me. Luckily they had movies and shows to watch and luckily none of those were: cast away, alive, 9-11, airplane, airplane 2, or Lost. Once I arrive I took a taxi to my apartment and I have to say new zealand is a lot nicer looking and cleaner than southern California. There are also like no poisonous creatures which is pretty cool. I got to my hostel and found thatI am living with 2 people from hong kong and thaiwan. So I guess I wont be living with the 2 girls they originally had me with......crap. My roomates actually ended up being pretty cool and they are trying to teach me chinese its extremely hard though. I have traveled around the city and it is pretty amazing. It reminds of a mixture of both san francisco and seattle but much cleaner and not as many bums. The city was built on a bunch of dormant volcanoes and so walking around can get pretty tiring. It is funny though to see people walking back from the bars sweating profusely because they have to walk up a 600 ft hill to get to their appartment. It is also pretty cheap to get around, there are free shuttle buses that drop you off at different parts of the city which is pretty cool. Everybody here seams to think that I have a canadian accent, and I have no clue how they come to that conclusion but oh well. I am going to visit Rangitoto (Volcanic island off the coast) soon so I will post again about that. Hope everyone back home is doing great!!! To my clients: You guys better be workin your butts off I get feedback from your trainers lol.
