Omg sheep! :D
I'm going to the University of Canterbury in New Zealand for my Student Exchange Programme in Feb 2012! 8D I am shocked that I could get a place in, actually, because there was only 1 place available for student in my course. (The news came 1 day after I decided to give up hopes on it, lol.) But omgosh, I'm gonna burst into fizzy bubbles now! X)
The first thing my younger sister (who is only 2 years younger) said after I told her about this was, "You're going to bring my a souvenir, right? I want a sheep with white fur and black legs." My friends in school asked me to bring a sheep back too, LOL.
So yea, I need info about New Zealand/Christchurch/UC. :) Anything, even negative things, because, you know, they never put such honest reviews on the website, haha. (I read somewhere that they're pretty racist and hierarchical, which makes me a teeny bit apprehensive about approaching them. :S) Do they have free public libraries? Is it safe to drink from the tap? Is the Ilam Apartments (on-campus accomodation) a good choice or is homestay better? What do people there normally eat for their meals? (Do you guys eat rice? :P) Are supermarkets easily accessible? (Do they sell rice? xD) Is it a generally safe place?
Well, I might be going too fast, actually. :\ While my University has approved of me going over and will be sending my application to UC soon, it isn't guaranteed that UC will accept me.
