The daily breeze

Peeps,

Well I made it back to CHCH lastnight and luckily found the last bed in a hostel. I was starting to get worried cause everything, EVERYTHING, was full. Anyway, I came from Queenstown on a 7 hour bus ride. No one has told the Kiwis that the fastest route is a straight line, not over mountains. It was 34°C yesterday in the valley we came through and the bus' air conditioning was broken. I almost melted. The only thing that saved me was the ice cream. Sweet, sweet ice cream.

Queenstown was fun. I did end up going jet boating which was fun but didn't get my adrenaline flowing as much as I would have liked. I need someone to come over a push me off a bungy ledge. It was hot and expensive and the hostels sucked. But the scenery was sweet-as. I went on a few good hikes too.

I had an information session at the school today so I met some other hosers. We are heading out for drinks tonight and to check out the World Busker's Fest that is on here right now. I hope I don't get pidgeon-holed into hanging out with just the Canadians cause that would suck. Don't get me wrong...I like most Canadians (most...not all...you know who you are) but I didn't come 10000 miles to talk about the benefits and drawbacks of Toronto or play the do-you-know-this-person-game. Although I kick asss at it. Randy, I met a guy, Ben, that went to Cass. And I met another kid that knew Jordan K (from Animal...for those that went to Waterloo.)

I opened a bank account today so if anyone wants to help the Chris in New Zealand fund I will give you my account number. Also I got my student card. AND...and, found a theatre like the Princess. So Christchurch is starting to brighten up.

Alright, I will be leaving now.

Chris
