The Time I Went to New Zealand and it was Nice
(If you have issues with the pictures in this post you can go straight to the gallery to view them all.)
My first impressions of New Zealand were that old cliche: there are a lot of sheep. I even drew a picture to illustrate.
But seriously, the place is beautiful. Just look at it. LOOK AT IT!
It's so gorgeous that superlatives fail me.
So the first couple of days in NZ were spent gawping open-mouthed at the natural wonder, and then huffing and puffing as my friends leapt up steep hills like gazelles. I was like Gimli trailing Legolas and Aragorn, or rather Gimli if he had said, 'eff this, I'm going to sit down and read a book and you guys can just come and find me when you're ready.'
Anyway, then we moved on to city views and the conference. Let's pretend the conference was about sheep. A sheep conference. As such, it had all the usual suspects:
Get it?!
I ended my sojourn with a night in Christchurch. I was saddened by the damaged buildings and streets, but phfa and _honeyspider took me to the most awesome and amazing breakfast place ever, as well as to a FUDGE SHOP, and a MUSEUM. We saw an Angry Pigeon that was angry:
You want a chup, bro?
Also, pointedulac, this is for you:
I'm sorry that it is a blurry photo taken through museum glass. Live animals that I saw include albatrosses, penguins, fur seals, and a hedgehog, but my photos of those are even worse.
Anyway, I want to go back! It's just so ridiculously pretty.
It's so beautiful, it could be a part-time model.
(...And with that, I think I've exhausted all my NZ cultural references. Woeful.)
