Since last Friday I’ve been living with Emma and Haylee in Christchurch. They are both primary school teachers, and have been kind enough to take me on as a subletter on a week to week basis as I hunt for work in the city. The last few days my time has been split between walking the city handing out CVs and hunting around the internet for positions. As of today, no job yet, but I try to remain confident that Lady Luck will smile at me soon. Otherwise, the final 7 weeks of my trip will prove difficult, and I may return to the states a much poorer man that expected.
Photos from the Greenstone-Caples track, Milford Sound, and Wanaka have been posted at my Picasa, and I’m working on a highlights album of my favorite places and pics.

Never fear! I’m sure there’s room on Chen’s list of people he needs to bankroll – right after Hintz and Julie.
What´s up buddy? How did the Alice and Wonderland room work? When when get a chance, I´ll tell you about a little place called Amsterdam and an experience I had watching said movie while there. Nutz.
Take care buddy.
Jeff – what sort of work are you looking for? It has been a while since I was in chch, but I would be happy to talk to the locals I befriended to see if there is anything they are aware of that you could do for those few weeks.
Let me know.
