War Museum

I woke up really tired today, but it's ok!
At schooll everything was just fine. We could set everything up for the afternoon's class tomorrow. It'll be at the beach.
Around 4:00pm we left Crown Institute (the school) to go to the War Museum, very famous here. The only problem is that everything here closes at 5 or 6pm. We arrived in the Museum at 4:50pm and the attendent told us it closes at 5pm. Very nice isn't it!?
Well, we could take a look around the first floor, that seems quite impressive! Beside the Museum they have a garden, called Winter Garden. This is what was really worth it to see!
The garden is wonderful, with very colorful flowers in a nice building, that made me remember the Taj Mahal (it's like a miniature :P).
At night we met in Downtown to party! I have to admit that I was desapointed with the parties tonight. The first place we went was the Irish Pub to have a few drinks. After everybody meet there we left to 'Barzuca'. What the hell, right? Well, that was one of the worst places I've been here. The great majority of people were from Brazil and there was a band playing pagode (in the break they put some funk to make it even better). There was a frined of mine from Chile that wasn't enjoying that much, just like me, so we could convince the rest of people to go to Globe Club. Globe is a night club for kiwis. They are 95% of all the people inside the place. When we got there, there was a huge queue and the words I could hear more frequently were fuck, fuck you, fuck off and some other fuck derivations. Unfortunately there were some queue jumpers, just like in Brazil. After some minutes in the queue whe got inside the place. It's a basement with many crazy people and a very loud sound. The place is really nice, however, kiwis don't seem to be so polite there. They are always looking like someone that wants to get in trouble, what was really making me very upset. Our last destination was the harbour, in a Pub I went a week ago. It was not so bad, but I was very tired, so I came back home.
Before I take the taxi to bring me home, I stopepd by Mc Donalds to take some food to eat when I got home. The taxi driver was a little clumsy, with maps instead of GPS, but after some lookups on his maps, he could find a way to bring me here!
