I am finally using a legit net connection! It is in a cafe which sells chocolatey stuff, and has free wireless. So I can finally upload photos! Wahoo! They're on facebook, although if you don't have facebook you can still see the album at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=98602&l=c8d5c&id=585155585 . Anyway...
I have met up with the other two students from canterbury, Amanda and Feli. Feli is from Germany but has residency in NZ and is on exchange to Spain. They will flat together, but until Amanda moves in on thursday she is staying with me. My french flatmate is in france for the next week so it's working out quite nicely.
About internet, here it is expensive and slow. About $100 a month for 1GB - 1GB!! I might have to resort to using cafes like this one, although as they don't open til 10:30am (pretty much nothing does) co-ordinating times might be an issue. The uni wireless is free once I'm enrolled too, so we'll see.
I have bought a cellphone. It cost 29 euro and it costs 15c to text, 5c/min to call other phones on the same network, and 37c/min (or somethinglike that) to call nationally, so it'll do.
Um, what else? Everyone smokes here, I detest it but there's not much I can do about it. We went out to a bar with some greek students last night, it was fun and we're going to go to a tapas bar sometime this week, but my hair stinks now. Of smoke. Meh!!!
I went clothes shopping yesterday, it's so cheap!!! And I have also found a place that sells fresh fruit and veges!! A half-dozen mandarins cost me 30c. Excellent!
Overall it's great. Uni starts tomorrow so I'll have to update this again soon. I'm gonna give myself a couple of weeks to settle in and then devote my weekends to travelling, I hope. Depending on money. Anyway! My battery's running low and the power points here don't work (which is not really that surprising) so I'd better go. Let me know how NZ's going occasionally!
Adios :D
