Emma's Adventures

I have now been in New Zealand for just over two weeks!! What can i say it is completely different to Oz! Basing myself in Christchurch for the next few months, pretty quiet city but can certainly rock when it wants to. This is good for me so it means i can save some money. Working in a boutique 5* hotel in the city!! Very lush green surroundings and also has a nice beach called Sumner! Kinda reminds me of St Kilda in Melbourne well that kind of atmosphere.

Have moved into a flat last week with six other people, 3 guys and 3 girls a real varied bunch actually we have English, Korean and Japanese in the group which makes meal times absolutley awesome. Really getting into Asian food at the moment!!

Weather has remained good since i arrived with only a couple of days of rain which is great as i bought myself a bike when i arrived in New Zealand so i can save myself some $$$ on public transport. Travelled on the gondala today with Tyler a Canadian who i travelled with for a while in Oz! What amazing view from the top, simply awesome. Had a busy few days visiting the Canterbury Royal Show and the Canterbury Races with some of the flatmates, was great opportunity to see a sheep shearing contest, tractor racing, wood chopping and get this a Shetland Pony Grand National run by 9-13 year olds!!!
