Hello!
this weekend i did lots of things!!
on friday i was in the movies with 2 of my friends: Celina and Rino. we watched the movie ‘couples retreat’, which was all right. not fantastic but not bad either.
on saturday i went to Botany, which is a shopping center. there i met 3 of my fiends: Celina, Rino and Taiba. we went a little bit shopping, then we went to Taiba’s house very shortly and came back to Botany to watch a movie. we had to seperate because they strictly control the IDs here. so Taiba and Celina watched saw and rino and i watched Julie &: Julia. the movie was ok, more for older women :-D When i came back home, my host family had a barbecue. the grandparents were there and also friends of my host sisters. Laura and her friend swam in the pool for the first time after winter. looked pretty cold =D i had a long conversation with my dad from germany on the phone. he calls me every weekend :-P
on sunday i went to the ‘armageddon’ show on the asb-showgrounds, which was like a games and movie show. some film stars answered questions and gave autographs for example: Joe Flanigan and Jason Momoa. but the most important person was Bronson Pelletier. he plays Jared in the new moon movie. he was just adorable!! he answered questions on the big stage. then one girl asked whether she could get a hug and he came down from the stage and hugged her. he hugged many people who asked for it but he did not come to us (my turkish host sister and me). but afterwards he gave autographs, so at least we talked to him and got his autograph!
on monday it was labour day, which is a public holiday here in new zealand. in the morning i finally did my homework and vacuumed my room. my host mother gave me and my host sister a ride to the bus stop because we were really late. we caught the bus to the city center, called britomart. there we met 3 girls who were with me on the south island trip. it was so nice to meet them again. we had lunch together and talked a lot!! the weather was crap so we just went shopping a little bit.
here are so many souvenir-shops so you can buy heaps of souvenirs. i would like to keep them all for me :-D!! that should not happen, so i have to buy everything twice :-D
