Heading to Christchurch

The trip didn’t really start very well. I almost couldn’t board to New Zealand. I was informed that I need a return ticket to go out from NZ and I am unaware of this policy, anyhow I ended buying the return ticket on the spot. Thanks to the helpful jetstar team. I was the last person to check in and the baggage carousel was already stopped by the time I wanted to check in. Someone from Jetstar helped me with it.

Finally, almost 2-3 hours flight I reached Christchurch. The weather is colder than in Melbourne. Without thinking much, I just hopped into the airport shuttle and reached the Coachman Backpackers Hostel. It cost me NZD 20.

I went for a walk around the city. By the time I finish walking it is almost 5 pm. It’s dinner and lunch time, I went to a Russian café called Red Square. I had buckwheat with mushroom in the hot pot. The taste was so-so or maybe it’s just it doesn’t suit my taste. It cost NZD 16.50. I will start hunting for a cheaper food tomorrow. Besides, I need to hunt for job too. I am living on a budget ..hehe..

Will post the pictures in the same blog entry later because I left my cable to transfer the pictures from my camera in the hostel.
