Random rambling

So, I know I posted yesterday, but I have random things to ramble about (which also procrastinates my lab report) and you're my lucky recipients!  I won't be offended if you don't read...

1. People here are really nice except they don't hold doors for you and only half of them will say "cheers" if you hold a door for them.
2. Cars don't stop for pedestrians.  Pedestrians are supposed to stop or get honked at--I get honked at a lot.
3. Ol Faithful (our car's name for now) get its first speeding tix, but luckily I wasn't driving!  Nick got pulled over right where it dropped from 100k to 50kph.
4. The earthquake was way north of me and I am fine!
5. I got a ticket for the All-Blacks (the world's winning-est pro sports team at 90%) vs Australia which is a big rivalry game and about a 10 minute walk from my place!
6. My phone for some reason isn't texting Australia numbers like it's supposed to.  I'm learning to not worry over insignificant things. HOWEVER, I went to the store and they gave me $20 balance back on my phone, which is enough for one free month!

I think that's all I've got to ramble about at the moment.  Here's a picture of Ol Faithful.  And a place where we tried to go watch the sunset, but got a little lost and missed it, but got a cool picture anyway.
