It's interesting to drive around the city. To be not lost from now, I drove as practice to the north mall that is the second biggest in Christchurch. Streets and stores in the city has begun to colour for X'mas. How about Japan?


Above City Centre, there is it. It's one of three ical gardens in Christchurch. However, Willowbank and a zoo are alike and different. Many animals are left at large in there, we can touch some of them. Also there are Kiwis! In order to see them, I visited there with Yuka and Keiko this afternoon. Willowbank shuts wildlife into itself, and it gave our an illusion that we're in nature. Many invaluable animals live in there, whenever we see them, they amazed our. When we saw a kiwi was the end of the exploration. Kiwis are timid and sensitive to light, so they are in a dark room, and we can't take with flash their photo. Therefore we desperately tried to watch them in dim. Then our eyes caught how the kiwi bounced. That's pretty cute.




Finished!

About a month spent after I came NZ. Recently, I went playing the billiards every weeks. The place where I went has a dark mood, so it was nervous for me first time. But it's cheap relatively; a table for two was $10 an hour. Maybe, It will be my hobby I think.


I was bored today. Nothing to do.




Going to Akaroa next weekend if it is warm.


Do you know what New Zealand is famous for also chocolate? Yesterday, after surfing, we visited the chocolate factory near Sumner Beach. I'd known just the name until then, so I was interested in the place. To enter inside, there were maybe over a hundred kinds of chocolate. There is mysterious one was named 'Ginger' or 'Vinegar' in them. So I hesitated to try it. Well, we had come from a great distance, and we bought some pieces of chocolate. Incidentally, they were 20 for $10.
