Trip to Bay of Islands

Friday is not a normal day in Crown Institute, because every student that's levaing has 'the graduation'.
At first I thought it was only for those who had taken a long program (6 months studying english, for example), but as I wrote, that's for everybody who is leaving the school or New Zealand, so I'll possibly have my 'graduation' next week. It's not a big deal, it's just about 100 people looking at you while you receive your certificate and then listening to your final words. Every student has to say something like 'thank you bla bla bla'.
Because of the graduation every Friday, we don't have classes in the afternoon.
Today, after the graduation we went to eat with a different group of people. We had 2 brazilians (me and Michel), 2 swiss (Patrick and Mark), 1 german (Andrea), one colombian (Steban) and one mexican (Pedro). We could stay at the restaurant chatting before going to Bay of Islands, once the bus was leaving just at 2:30pm.
This time it was a little bit different, compared to the trip to Rotorua. The majority was from Korea (14 people), with another 7 brazilians and one german, mexican, colombian, japonese, chilean, dutch, french and russian. The way to Paihia (main city in Bay of Islands) is long and we took the whole afternoon to get there. I was realy tired of staying inside the bus. We arrived at night, so we just went to a bar to eat something. After we had grabbed some food, a 'band' started playing some songs and it became a party, so we stayed there to have a little bit of fun. It was quite good, because most of the nice people (it means, no koreans from the trip) was there.
We enjoiyed some bottles of smirnoff ice and then went to sleep in the backpacker (really tired)!
