Arrival

I arrived in Christchurch yesterday after a very long flight. I figure I spent probably 20+ hours traveling.

Yesterday, I hung out with the other guy in my program, Josh, and his sister. We went out for drinks, but I decided to just come back to my apartment and rest. I got about 12 hours of sleep last night and I'm feeling pretty great today.

Today, I've mainly just walked around Christchurch. I bought a smaller purse to carry and made a trip to the market to get some cereal and juice.

I ate a really good breakfast this morning. It was pancakes with grilled bananas and syrup. The pancakes were so big, I couldn't even finish them all!

Not sure what my plans are for the rest of the day. I'm waiting for Josh to call my room with some plans. We're supposed to go out with some people from CPIT to an indian restaurant. But I don't know many of the specifics AND I don't have a mobile phone, so it's really hard to be in touch with people. I'm still exploring my options on that.

The lab in my building is kind of expensive, so I'm still looking around for cafes to use.

It's a beautiful city. The people are really nice.

It's a three day weekend here in Christchurch. The Queen's Birthday is on Monday, so I don't have to start my internship until Tuesday morning!
