Figured I should say something

What with internet as it has been. I've come across a plentiful supply a bit too soon. Really I've already posted most of what I needed to in my last post, but as the Reads (the family that I'm staying with in Christchurch for a week on holiday) have internet (actually they even have a wireless network, and none of them have laptops) it felt wrong just leaving it there without making some kind of contact back home. So here it is, a post made simply for the sake of posting, and also to show off this picture that I took a while ago of what I can only assume is the bastard child of a palm tree and an evergreen.

Picture Time

Well I've gotten through all the pictures from the hike, and deleted tons of them, and edited the crap out of the rest so New Zealand looks like a magical wonderland. Really the best sights are on the south island, so I'll have pictures from there in a few weeks. In the meantime content yourself with these. Also, there is one picture with most of the other AFS exchange students in the area. From front to back it's, Simon (Belgium), Eeva (Finland), Line (Greenland), and Hauke (Germany). It's real good actually, because the expressions that they are wearing at that moment pretty much capture their personalities. The picture is missing Natacha (Venesuela) who was in the group photo from the AFS camp posted earlier, and Nicole (Switzerland [I think]) and Andres (Peru), both of whom I have no picture of.
