Bye bye NZ

I woke up in the worse way that is possible - in a hang over, with people screaming and children crying. :S
Before I go to the airport I had my 'goodbye' to Auckland, walking down some streets to see it for a last time (maybe the last time ever)! :(
After this slow walk down some streets I took a shower, a photo with my homestay family and then the shutter to the airport.
It was a miracle that Aerolineas Argentinas didn't delay, so I took the plane to Buenos Aires, what takes 11 hours. I was really unlucky. A young boy sitten beside me was such a pain in the ass. He could speak most of the way with a woman sitten in front of him all the things he didn't like in NZ. I think he thought he would find a country junt like Brazil thousents miles away!!!!
Already in Argentina I could wait for only one hour to my next flight, to my final destination, Porto Alegre. On this flight I met a preast, who came speaking to me all the way. Nice guy! :)
Well, to finish I fill a paper saying I wasn't bringing anything worthy, like US$500,00, marking 'Nothing to declare' on the paper. I was amazed how easy it was to pass through security in my arrival. They have a 'Nothing to declare' separated corridor where nobody checked the bags. At this time I thought I should have brought something! :P
To end my sensational holiday I could meet my parents waiting for me at the airport, what made me feel really good after 4 weeks away! Tomorrow is Monday, and then it starts all over again, until the next holiday!!!!

THE END! :(

Shopping day

Well, there's a place here called DessSmart, wich you need a lot of time to visit. I knew for a few days that I'd be there today! :P I spent maybe 4 hours going from one side to another, seeing everything around.
At night we had to party ... my last night in NZ had to be something good!
Just like every night we've been out here, we set everything up to meet in front of Starbucks, in Queen Street. The firt stop was in Father Ted's, the Irish pub. After a few Smirnoffs we moved to the harbor, to Provedor, where I could taste my last shots of 'shaved pussy'! :P
It was a great way to say goodbye to those who have been my best friends here! :)
Just to keep the routine, before I come home I went to Burger King pick up some food to eat! I hope I can stop eating so much junk food! The results are not good!
This was the last party in NZ, at least for now! :P

Graduation, Wine, Coffee and Smirnoff Ices!

Today I graduated at Crown, with certificade and even a short speech in front of many students (I believe it was about 80 people). I can't complain, I think I liked that! :P
At lunch time I joined a group of friends and I could eat the most profitable food ever made. I really don't remember the name, but it's an Italian food made up of bread, cheese, ham and tomatoes. It seems a pizza. For that 'tosted sandwich' I paid 15 dollars! I wish I knew before what kind of food it was! :S It must be a great business!!!!
In the afternoon I had a little bit of everything. To start we had a New Zealand ice cream, that was supposed to be different, but is basicaly the same! After that we stopped by Provedor to drink something togheter. Unfortunately they couldn't make any cocktail, because it was happy hour time, so I asked for a glass of wine, can you imagine??
Before I go back home I had to visit my favourite cafeteria, Starbucks Coffee! :) I stayed there for half hour, meditading with my Signature Hot Chocolate!
The sun was going away, slowly and it was the last day of a friend I met this week, Joao, from Fortaleza, so he invited me to his 'goodbye party'. I took a shower, took the bus, bought some smirnoff ices and went to his party. It was in the 15ยบ floor of a building in front of the harbor, with an amazing view and a giant balcony. There was a lot of people around for his last day and it was hips of fun!!!!!
To finish, I return home around midnight, with the last bus I could take (taxi wouldn't be a good choice). Walking back home, from bus stop, I could see lots of people coming from the 'Big Day Out', a huge event with many bands and musicians. It seemed that I was going the wrong way, because I was coming home while everybody else was going the other way.
I can say it was a great day! :)
