Well, one month ago I arrived here in Christchurch. Time for a small review.
The administration at the University is… is.. well, I don’t know. Different? Bureaucratic.
The lectures are also a lot different. There is hardly any team work. Many assignments. Much writing.
I finally got settled on a project topic. I was going to do something about secure communication in a business environment. But I wasn’t successful finding a company which uses open source software… so I will do some research at the University of Canterbury.
The people. Friendly and helpful. You can have a chat with everyone. Although most of my friends here are not from New Zealand them self. But that might change if I move out of Ilam Village next semester.
Christchurch… well, sad to say: But I haven’t seen very much of it. And i haven’t made it out of Christchurch yet…
Well… I’ve played some Volleyball at a Interhall-Championship and… we didn’t loose all games :) Our girls did very well and won every game — so far — with only four players.
Tonight I had a nice dinner with friendly Kiwis and learned some Maori. Kia ora and the basic stick game.
