Walks

Sunday is a day that's really hard to find something useful to do. Not different here, at least in the first weekend. I woke up very early, because I went to bed pretty early too. Yesterday I started sleeping around 8:30pm, I guess. I could find out that here, in Auckland, the sun goes down nearly 9pm. In February, Lisa told me, it sets around 10pm! Amazing, no!?
Back on today, I woke up and had my breakfast, then I took off to walk, again. Today I chose a different path, but without a map, once again. No problems, I didn't get lost at all.
All I did was a very long walk through a long avenue that's two blocks away from my home stay. I could see some stores selling cars (Jaguars, Volvo, Audi etc). The prices were silly. If you have $12.000 you can buy a Volkswagen Golf. I saw a Mercedes Benz for sale for $32.000!!!! I hate this country! :P
I was very, very far from home, but then I saw a path across the highway, where I had to go. From that place I could see the Sky Tower again, and now I had my camera with me to register that view!
When I walked back home I could see how long my walk was. It took me 2 and a half hour ... or more! :S
I could see some IT companies! ho ho ho
In the magazine about New Zealand, that I got at the airport, there're two pages talking about 'immigration'. New Zealand needs "skilled workers"! :) Anyway, this is something to think in the future, right now I'm gonna concentrate in my studies!
There's still two things to comment here. Kiwis (New Zealand people) drive on the right side! Another interesting thing is that every car has a stick on the front shield that says when their taxes expire! Yesterday a cop called up our attention because of it ... it was two days late! :P
