Here in Dunedin

Haha....
After a few days of jetlag, finally I could adapt myself. However, time moves fast here. It seems like 24 hours being shortened to 12 only...

hmmmm...okay I'll start with my journey here. Left KLIA at 9.30pm on the 16th of feb. Along the journey I could not sleep much. Maybe its because of the time difference. It took about 10 hours to arrive at Auckland. Upon landing I could see lots of building. What pops up in my mind was that it must and surely be a developed city...haha...happy with that. At Auckland airport, my frens who are going to study at AU went off to their uni. We, the Otagoans, ride a free shuttle to the domestic flight terminal. Then waited that for bout 5 hours and its time to check -in again. My flight is not a direct flight to Dunedin. So, we stop at Wellington but its only for about half an hour. I slept the whole journey from Auckland to Wellington and to Dunedin...haha..even not wanting to eat on the flight as I prefer to sleep.And when I arrive, I could see nothing besides green fields and some cows.(unlike auckland and wellington) hmmm...I was looking out from the window and kept searching for the runway where the plane would land. At that time I was wondering are we going to land on grasses????

Arrive at Dunedin at around 8 something (their local time) . And we waited for our seniors and the direct flight people. Then there is a shuttle taxi that brought us to our accommodation (toroa). This place reminds me of NS cause its on hillside and we need to climb steep steps...:( . The next day, our seniors brought us to the uni for course approval and to the bank to have our accounts opened. Then we get a NZ number as well :) We also had the chance to shop for some groceries in "countdown". All thanks to YeeMin for her help and good time management. She was really helpful and sweet..

And today(the 2nd day), I went out with my housemates...shopping again...also bought groceries as well...tis time its serious shopping...bought necessities like rice, salt, sugar, some vegetables and meat...etc...Then we had BBQ at our residential college. Met a lot of friendly ppl from all over the world...its great!and we also check out the laundry...hehe
