Finally i managed to write another blog. I kinda new right from the beginning, when I started the blog, that its gonna be hard for me to update it regularly. But at least i managed to upload some pictures from the intense travelling on the last few weekends: http://picasaweb.google.com/chbischo.
Even before I came to New Zealand the human resources manager of Trimble wrote me in a mail that there will be some canadian interns at Trimble. So Tobias and me arranged to meet these four canadian guys after a few weeks at Trimble. They are really cool and they were very keen to explore New Zealand on weekends, so Tobias and me joined their weekend travels. It turned out to be quite expensive, but it was really good fun and we saw quite a few exciting things, like wild animals you normally just see in the zoo (penguins, seals, sealions, albatros, tuis).
In the meantime I moved out of the old flat because the girl who rented the house had to move out and nobody of the other flatties wanted to rent the house on its own. Fortunately the kiwis aren't really complicated and a mate of my manager from work agreed to rent out one of his spare rooms to me. The house is a typical one story kiwi house. The style of the house is completely different from the 'old' house, in fact the style is much more kiwi like, not too modern, but really nice in its own way.
Tomorrow I will do a skydive with Usman and Tobias. I am really excited about that and I am sure its gonna be awesome! :-) ...although it was quite expensive. But I think that you need to do either bungee jumping or skydiving once you are in New Zealand because bungee jumping apparently was invented over here, hence these extreme sports are kinda traditional over here.
next blog will feature some information about my work over here!
take care
yeah, we are really cool!!!
