wow...

christine's recent visit

the weather has been great so far. of course i have to say the wind is crazy here but it is not so bad really. just don't bother setting your hair before leaving the house.

that field is where i play soccer..overlooking the city..super windy

this place is not only windy but hilly too. way too hilly i think. the other day i played soccer for the first time after like a month not playing(WOOHOO!) i had to walk like 15 mins to get to the field. i am not complaining because i have to walk to the field, but it is the climb to the field. it is like 15mins of pure climb. by the time i reached the field, i'm already tired. the field is pretty cool because it is like at the top of the hill and you can oversee the city. but no complains. at least got steady dosage of soccer.

people are super nice here. mag's boss, ben, is super nice. he offered to come by town and take us for shopping because he know that we wanted to shop for things for our place and it would be hard for us to travel by bus. we even went for breakfast/lunch last saturday before heading to levin for a hot air balloon festival.

somebody call 911!

mag's colleague, Sally, is super nice too. during the easter weekend, she and her bf, craig, brought us to small towns around the area for a day trip. at least now i can say i have real angmo friends. as in friend friend wan..not the ones just the hi bye ones..

people here are much more friendly i think because they are more exposed to asians here because alot of ppl here come from different places. so i guess they are more patient and understanding. haven't experience the"f**k off asians" or "stupid asians" or "go back home" those kind of stuff yet.

as for food..there is lots of malaysian restaurants. it is a good thing. quality wise not all good but we know what dish is nice from which restaurant. we manage to find a roti canai place which actually make them fresh. one of our favourite places. really nice roti canai and curry. roti chennai, kk restaurant, r&s satay noodle house, kc cafe are one of our regular restaurants. ask me to recommend where to eat when you come down to welly.

they also got a sunday market in the city where you can grab fresh vegies and fruits. pretty cool and pretty cheap!

sunday market

we really need to find a new place to stay. the current one is like so small that we have to slowly walk around the room in order not to push something down or knock or leg on the table. if we can't find a new place, we might kill each other i tell you. seriously. not joking.

boom!

boom!

all in all, we are surviving here but we still miss auckland because we left our friends behind.

byebye!
