WHEEE!
Ok, first off, the qi worked. I am sitting here in an internet cafe in the center of Christchurch with ALL my wits about me after flying 8,000 miles around the world. It's amazing. No jet lag. None.
Next. This cafe is filled with adorable asian kids all playing some random video game online and shrieking in whatever language they're speaking, every so often yelling "Yoo sock!" American culture is a subversive thing.
Next. My host counsellors are adorable. Mike is the editor of a Harness Racing mag (yeah, HORSE harness racing-shriek!) and Sue is blonde and cute and in love with my clothes. It's really just a stupendous combination. And we are staying in a snazzy flat in the middle of the city...with balconies looking out over the Avon (yes, like England) river where there are punters that shove off up and down the river all day long.
I haven't had a proper ramble yet but I'm off to do that after I finish here. Sue and Mike have gone house hunting and Sue was all concerned about leaving me here by myself. So cute. Mike is a little eccentric and runs around wearing t-shirts with a picture of Chairman Mao on it. Could this be any better? No.
I'm actually trying to find accomodations right now, but think I'll just wait until school starts on Monday and I can talk to some of the students etc. This country. My my my.
