August 8th Well, I'm in Christchurch at the moment. Today I got up and rented a car, and we took the Ferry from Wellington to Picton. Then we drove about 5 hours down the east coast and ended up in Christchurch. Now I am just sitting in an internet cafe relaxing. It's about eleven o'clock. We just had dinner in a Korean/Japanese restaurant. It was pretty good. Also, we walked around for a while and scoped out some possible things to see tomorrow. There was a box that we walked by earlier that said something like "chess can be played from [View Full Entry]

August 1st So, the decision has been made. Richard and I are going to head south. Next week we're going to rent a car and head down to the bottom of the South Island. Will be cold but I am extremely anxious. We're going to go on a job hunt when we get there. Living there will most likely be pretty fun. It's a decent size city for New Zealand with a population of over 100,000. So finding work shouldn't be too hard. The drive is going to be the most fun though. We're planning on taking the west coast [View Full Entry]

Camera Issue So my camera is a homo. Apparently, Josh dropped it in a river when he was in Alaska or something, but I was able to obtain a lot of the pictures I want from Richards camera. He took some when we went up to Taupo for the Sky-Dive, and some around Wellington and in the hostel and stuff. I have taken a lot of pictures that I’ve had to delete because they didn't come out good. So when I was looking through his pictures the other day and saw some that I had taken that didn't come out, [View Full Entry]

Songs/Music That I Have Grown to Enjoy Since I've been in New Zealand I have discovered lots of different songs that I have been unaware of, or just never thought about how good/funny they are. So I have decided to journal all the new music that I have gotten into since being here. Basically, the list is going to be songs that (in the future) will remind me of my time here and will bring back memories of friends and good times I have had. Jack Johnson - Sitting Waiting Wishing This song will always remind me of Kristina. She loves [View Full Entry]

Wellington The capital of New Zealand, lying on the bottom tip of the North Island. This city has been very fun for me for the last 4 months. The Downtown Backpackers is the hostel that I have been staying at since my arrival into Wellington. Most of the good times that I've had have been in this hostel. Befriending the majority of the staff, staying there has seemed like a new home for me in the past few months. Many of late nights in the bar, playing guitar and talking with people has been very fun and rewarding. Feathers Tavern [View Full Entry]

Two Weeks of Travel There was a 2 week period after leaving Auckland when I traveled around the North Island with Kristina, a girl that I met while in Auckland. Basically, we drove around the majority of the island, and tried to visit as many towns as we could, mostly just passing through anxious to make it to the next town ha-ha. But traveling for that time was very fun, and it was the period of time here when I felt most like a "backpacker", sleeping in the car, stopping at camp sites, going without shower for days at a [View Full Entry]

Auckland Auckland was the first city that I settled into when I first arrived in New Zealand. Although I only spent about two weeks there, I had some great times, and met heaps of people. I acquired two jobs while in Auckland, but only worked at them for a day or two each. The reason is because I was still adjusting to everything, and still trying to decide if I wanted to stay in Auckland or move on. After being in Auckland for a few days, I met Kristina Smith from Grand Prairie, Alberta in Canada. Her plan was to buy [View Full Entry]
