Our first orientation session consisted of learning safety and resources, determining our goals of the program, and even some kiwi lingo. (Torch=flashlight, chilly box=refrigerator) After that we had some time to roam around and a group of is went out to see the city.
This is a street performer downtown. Like any other large city there was a handful of homeless people and others playing music for change. It was an interesting experience because I'm not used to city life at all.
Above is a harbor we stumbled upon. There was a type of fair going on with the local police, fire department, and paramedics for anyone to see equipment ask questions and play games. We stopped and talked to a police man who was super fun and helpful! Here is some of the street art we came across.
Dinner was at a local restaurant. We were told the program coordinators didn't want to shock our system right away with strange food, so my choice was chicken pizza. It was delicious.
After dinner a bunch of us hung out and got to know eachother while playing cards and then went for a last walk around town. Here is the sky tower again next to the bungee jumping equipment.
I'm still not sure what time I feel like it is but I do know I need to be ready by 6:45 a.m. The next few days I will be in a hostle and don't know when I will be able to post next. So until next time...
CHEERS!
