hi.hi.hi.

So...Queenstown was fantastic, I'd love to move there. Every other store is a ski shop, I have some beautiful pictures on myspace since I don't want to clutter this site's front page anymore with my pictures/face. But, seriously, pictures cannot possibly capture how beautiful of a country New Zealand is. Its fresh and clean and remote. The morning after....my last blog I got up around 5am and seeing as the hostel had put me in a room again with 5 guys, I decided it would be a good idea to dry… Continue

I had 5 nuns staring me down in the Avalon airport in my hot pink tights. Before this I was told by the train station "police" at Southern Cross that I wasn't allowed to take a nap on the bench while waiting for the shuttle. I was one of two people in the station. Seinfeld moment. I saw the Opera House and climbed the bridge. I partied until 5am A big group of scottish people, one decked in kilt were on my dinner cruise. Then I flew to Mel. The next day my flight to Auckland was delayed 3+… Continue

Ok I don't. and I really can't wait to go, I mean it was really unplanned and all. but reallly. I guess I shouldn't have been so shocked at the fact that there is only one bus out of Auckland to Waitomo, even though its one of the North Island's major tourist attractions. And this bus just so happens to leave at 8:15am when my flight arrives at 4:15pm ouch right? soooo I might spend a billion more dollars that I don't currently have on changing my flight once again, to Queenstown on the South… Continue

Its a good day when you give a presentation to Australians on what Australians like to do for fun (so of course I'm nervous right, I mean they'd know better than me) , and your Professor who has a Ph.D. and what not, is impressed by it and wants you to send him the charts you found. And then! You find out there is a huge sale at Chadstone, (high end mall place, I mean I can barely afford the "low end' stuff, ie hoodies cost $100Au). And not only is there a huge sale, the two dresses you've been… Continue
