First days

Good news from us here. I have 10 minutes left in the Internet-cafe, so lets see how much I can write..

The transport from the airport was good. We went directly through the city center. First impression: film-town of an old western movie that will be destroyed in 2 weeks. (second impression was better though.. :-)

We arrived at the hostel at 7 am, got our room and decided not to sleep. So we took the half an hour walk to University, and went to the accomodation office. They told us about a house to rent, and so we met the landlord at 9. The house was nice, so we decided to take it straight away (pics will follow).
The house is for 5 people, Jernej from Slowenia will join us, the other two will be casted by Alex and me :-)

The first night we were at the hostel, which was very nice (own kitchen to cook, but blankets and sheets to be paid extra).

On our second day we went into town, doing our first shopping. Bought German sun screen, sim-card and other more or less usefull stuff.

Oh, by the way, our address is: 20 Liston Crescent, Hamilton, NZ
phone: +64 210392672

They dont have any postal codes here, strange.
Another strange thing: bakeries normally dont sell bread. just sandwiches and other stuffed bread. But no normal bread. And if they have bread, then it is the toast-style sort of thing..

More info if we have some Internet connection available

Current mood: happy

Hi Manuela!

I am glad to hear some good news, especially that you have solved the probleme to get a place to live. Renting a house seems to be a good alternative and I am sure you find another two persons to live there.
Finding no ' Austrian bread' in New Zealand is not surprising.

Hi Dad!
Good to hear from you! It is true that we won't find any Austrian bread, but there isn't anything that comes even close to it..
Well, baking our own thing anyways.

Seeyaa!
