Auckland

Hey again! well right now I"m a internet cafe in downtown Auckland. Fiji was amazing! I definately suggest you go there if you get the chance.

so here's the deal, what I"m gonna do is mass e-mail all you guys once or twice a week, but I"ll update the blog a few times a week. That way if you don't check the blog u get the full details but if you just check your e-mail you get the basics. It's totally up to you.
So right now it's 5:00ish Jan 27 your time (if you're in Sask) but it's Jan 28 12:55 NZ time. The flights here were good. Kinda cried a bit when i hit me that i won't see you guys for half a year. Aw.....

Anyway thanx to those of you who are e-mailing me, good to know that I'm missed. As for those of you who haven't e-mailed i understand cause you might actually have a life. *sigh* just try to keep in touch over the next 6 months k?

So I'm staying @ hostel in Auckland. don't have a clue who the other 6 people are who are staying in my room. Kinda sucks that it's Co-Ed. I'm really not a big fan of that but it's cheap and it's a place to stay for a few nights and i get a shower. Man my shower today was very well deserved....i feel SO clean and fresh now. Yay for cleanliness! My Winnipeg friends are also in Auckland. got a message 4 me from Laura (on of them) so i took a bus and walked to their hostel, however they weren't there and i couldn't get a phone number for their hostel from my hostel. So now i"m just killing some time fro a bit then I"ll head back to their hostel to see if i can find them.

Downtown Auckaland is very interesting. I really get a kick out of the way the crosswalks work here. So the vechiles take turns going there directions (just like bakc home) however the pedestrians go all together. all the vechiles stop 4 them and when you hear the buzzer all the pedestrains just go. they just move. they don't really go straigh across like we do, then just crozz the street. HOpefully that makes sense to you. If not I guess i can explaing it when i get back.

I've also had "burger rings". They're like chips but in a ring shape and are supposed to taste like a burger....personally i think they should work on that part. So far I"m liking New Zealand but I think it' gonna take me a while to get used to the whole driving on the left side of the street business. Anyway i gtg. I'll probably update the blog within the next couple days cause I'm in Auckland til Sunday, i think. Well whenever the Capernwray bus thing comes. I"ll talk to ya l8er! Love you lots!
