I like Wellington. I like it more than Auckland. But I'd forgotten there's such a thing as nightlife and bad taste in music (techno).
Last night I went to see Becoming the Courtesan in BATS theatre. It was an hour long musicalish production, very dramatic. It was a rather sad end to an enjoyable day touring LotR filming sites to the north of and in Wellington. I got some very very funny pictures (the black rider at the top of the hill in the Shire is my favourite) but I don't have the time to upload them now. I recommend the Wellington Movie Tours (www.movietours.co.nz), run by Ted, to anyone who's into that sort of thing. It's good value, I think.
Welly is a city to wander about in. Sit in cafes or a library. Te Papa museum - reputedly the finest in NZ - did not appeal to me. I walked in - and walked out again. It's not that it didn't have anything to offer, just that what it had I'd already seen elsewhere. Oh well, free entry, so worth a try.
I'll be off to Christchurch tomorrow. Ferry across, then train. Still don't have a new job.

Isn't there someone who can help you get a job?
An agency of some sort or a website?
Hmm.
You'll be fine. People like you and me (ahem, to some extent) are capable of adapting - it comes with the multiculturality of where we lived.
Seriously, you'll be fine.
AND you're having a great time, instead of stufying for exams like so many people here (with the exception of me, cos I don't have any! *insert evil laugh here*).
Right.
I love you! *
Heh, yeah, not much of a night life in rural Waikato, and I doubt you would have had much techno playing in the cowshed during milking ;-)
Good luck with the job hunt, hope you got your bike down there without too much difficulty.
James.
