After getting all situated in my new humble abode it was time to have some fun. The week before classes started the school put on a whole bunch of events to go to which were actually pretty good. Opposite of America and our lame orientation parties, new zealand likes to start the semester off right with live bands, themed parties, and encouragement of alcohol consumption on the daily. Monday I had international orientation which I got to meet all the other kids studying here. It was cool to meet everyone and they took us to the top of Mt. Victoria and the botanical gardens which both were really pretty. The next night was the jungle party which I didn't actually make it to ha. Vodka was not my friend this night and I spent more time in my bed than actually going out, however i did come out with a collection of photos of random things in Sarah's room, apparently I was really interested by it.
Wednesday night we opted out of the foam party and went to a ministry of sound concert instead at Vic University, which might I add is at the top of the hill. Sneaking in the sound door got me in free and I knew it would be a good night after that. The concert was really good it was a dj mix kinda feel and pretty fun. After that we spent the night in town and I found a BIKE!..By found I probably mean steal, but it was lying in the middle of the sidewalk and so I took it. I have never enjoyed a walk back home more than that one. I was riding it all over waiting for everyone else, which the next day I decided riding in car lots with range rovers probably wasn't my best idea ever. The best night of the week however was when Minuit played at Bodega Bar. It was an awesome concert and really fun. Her last song she dedicated to Christchurch and everyone lost it, it was really cool to see how much everyone supports their country. On the way home we stopped at mcdonalds when I felt the second earthquake since i've been here. The whole place was shaking and glass was banging, pretty scary after everything that had happened in chch but no worries all was good. all in all it was a great week, amuricca take some notes.
