Don't listen to the date, March 11, 2011
I seem to be keeping up with my sub-par and irregular blogging skills. Last week was kind of a shakey week (literally). We had three earthquakes in Wellington ranging from a 3.7 to a 4.7. One thing I learned, I really don’t enjoy earthquakes. Wellington certainly lived up to its reputation as ‘Windy Welly,’ the week was full of rain and wind comparable to hurricanes and freight trains. It’s somewhat unsettling to be sitting in your room and be swaying with the wind. I’m told it’s a good thing that the building moves with the elements because if a large earthquake hits it should be able to just go with the flow?!
Also this past week I went and checked out this cool place that offers Buddhist Meditation every Monday and Wednesday nights. Although I don’t think I understood half of the things they were saying (in English) and obviously nothing they said in Tibetan, I still left feeling very calm and happy. Plus, at the end they served us carrot cake, which I don’t really like but it was free and sweet so I’m not complaining!
A few days ago I went down to the harbor with some friends and joined the locals in dong some ‘bombs’ off the plank. I don’t think I can really call mine a ‘bomb’ though; it was probably more comparable to a flailing flop. I’m as graceful as ever these days…
Tonight I’m finding myself back in Rotorua. This time, with a group of five girls from Wellington, and staying at the hostel, ‘Cactus Jacks’. Earlier we wandered around the Night Market, taking in the live music and free food and wine samples.
