And it kinda was too! It was Labour Day Monday on the 24th so the cafe had a 15% surcharge on your bill. It happens in every business open on a Public Holiday.

Te Papa Museum

If there is only one thing you do in Wellington, it should be to visit Te Papa Museum! The entire day today was spent there trying to see all the exhibits and I spent 5 hours there but I didn’t manage to cover it all. And I found out later there were walks and exhibits […]

Skydiving with Taupo Tandem Skydiving was pretty cool! I had woken up this morning at 8am cuz I had to check weather conditions. The clouds have made the past few days unavailable for skydiving.

Benton has these really cute cockatiels that are really nice. I thought I’d share a few pictures of them. Tweety adopted the Tan family after probably running away from home a few years back. He is the one on my shoulder. But you can’t pet him really, he has a tendency to bite. Beauty, on […]

The travel to Byron Bay from Sydney was 14 hours by a combo of Train and bus. The surprising thing is that the train costs just as much as the bus and both take about 14 hours. If I had the forsight to book my trip two weeks in advance my train ticket would only […]

Yesterday I worked the morning at UTS, they asked me to come back to do proofreading/editing corrections to their corsebooks.
