Feb 17th Orientation

Today we had orientation for the international students. This was a full day event that showed us the campus, how to enroll, and what to expect from the Kiwis and also how to deal with the culture shock. Since I finally have my camera fixed I have pictures of part of the campus as well as 1/10 of the city of Wellington. The city is so large and multifaceted which makes it a very interesting place to be in. I will hopefully go back to the shoreline walk way and take more pictures. This place has mountains, city buildings, parks, and the sea so pretty much everything. I wish you all could come visit me!  Also me and a couple of my friends are planning on a trip to the South Island where we will see the glaciers as well as the gorgeous scenery along the West coast. We will also be able to bungy jump there. I was talking to a Kiwi from the South Island last night who told me that if you bungy jump in your underwear it's half price and if you bungy jump naked it is free...very interesting place indeed.
