so finally an update on nz. so far everything is good, i really enjoy meeting all the new ppl and im having a lot of fun. think i ended up in a really good apartment. living with one kiwi, one chinese and one mexican. this friday we went out on an organized bus tour to see the city which was a lot of fun! had the biggest portion of fish & chips i ever had, climbed two volcanos, saw mission bay (popular beach in the summer) and got to see some parts of the city:) really really enjoyed it. and then it was time for a free bbq with free beer and other drinks and followed by that was a great party at campus. and yesterday we went out as well, but then to down town! which was fun just a bit too many ppl at the end. so all in all a good time so far!:) now its time for breakfast then im getting my bike!!:)

So finally some update on what im up to in Auckland, at UNITEC campus. I now live in apartment 38C which is on the third floor at the far end. I like my apartment, its not top notch but who would have thought soo, right? but i have a desk, a wardrobe, a mirror and a king size single bed. started to put some stuff on the walls and want to print out some pictures as soon as the rest get sorted! for me to feel settled all im missing now is a good internet connection. but im going to fix it next week! I really like the ppl i got to know, yesterday i met a few swedish ppl which i think i'll hang out with, but its just the right amount, were 5 so we cant create our own group so to speak, because i like seeing others from other countries.

I know im a bit late in updating. Been to Montreal and back and are now sitting outside the accommodation office at UNITEC, Auckland,NZ. The best internet is here! I don have internet in the apartment but not really working if you want to do skype or watch a clip or so. Its a beautiful morning and its only 8 a clock here. apparently there is a lot of rain at this time in NZ so i've been lucky so far not to get it. But this is not going to be about Auckland yet. I need to tell you about Montreal first, where i spent an amazing week! It could not have been better! Me and Félix had such a great week, justchilled at the pool, went to Ottawa, saw his wonderful family and friend, drove a "seadoo" almost like a skidoo (guessing its 2 o) and managed to throw both of us of when I was driving hehe:) ottawa was wonderful, a really pretty city with lots of green spots and a beautiful House of Parliament. Really wish i could have stayed longer! But as the best surprise i could ever get he booked his tickets to come and visit me here! I really cannot wait for him to get here! Haven't met all of my roommates yet, only one girl from china and she seams really nice, Josephine i think the name was. I was also lucky enough to meet the people living under me as they drove me to do some needed food shopping and get my sheets and blankets ect. so got my yogurt in the fridge and cereal:) haha

Sitter just nu på flygplatsen och väntar på att planet äntligen ska lyfta:) ska bli superkul att komma iväg. har en fantastiskt bra vecka framför mig, utgångar, Ottawa, mys och bara vara.

Time is passing like never before. 3 days to go before canada! and only a week and a bit before actually moving to NZ. Cannot wait! just talked to helena Bengtsson och tror vi kommer få det toppen där nere:)

thinking extra of you today, glad to have the family gathered.

Today is a count down day. its 5 days until im finally in montreal. Work right now is just the same and everyday im hoping that the shift will be easy. but i guess 7 days straight does that to you. And my ipod broke as i was just about to leave work:( dropped it and the entire screen went caboom:( so in this situation its good to be a student. the insurance cost is lower so hoping i'll have a new one in a weeks time.

Right now my legs are killing me. Standing up at work for 10 straight in 3 days is not a recommendation i would give anyone. but i know it will pay off so its worth it. I've finally starting  to realize how much i need to get done in this week. I need to make sure that my visa, insurance and all other important school things are done and dusted. I want to see as many ppl as possible, while working everyday. i need to repack for both montreal and NZ and this weekend all my uncles and aunties are coming back for grandpas memorial. I am going to be soo tired when leaving for montreal. Cannot wait until i leave, only 9 days to go.
