My brother and I started our day by eating chocolate muffins/cupcakes and studying the SAT. Since I finished the book I was working on the other day, I got to start on another lovely (sarcasm) book.
This book was exactly like the other one, boring, monotonous, and outdated. Again, this is not worth your money and all copies should be burned!
After I folded some clothes, my mom, my brother, and I took the free shuttle to a park and then walked the rest of the way to a bank. At the bank, my brother and I sat in some comfortable chairs. While we were waiting, the bank people began asking us questions like:
-What country did you come from?
-Why are you here?
-How long are you staying?
Though these way sound like ordinary questions, I think that they are going to get plastic surgery to look like us an then steal our identity!! It could happen...
After that, we kind of got lost but eventually found our way. We then visited a butchery and bought some fresh sausages and aged filet mignon. We also went to the fruit and vegetable market where we bought some potatoes and bananas. Then, we travelled back to our hotel/apartment/motel, exhausted. Later on, we ate our second home-cooked which was delicious. We ate delicious steak, mash potatoes (courtesy of me), and steamed broccoli and spinach. Personally, I think the steaks tasted a lot better than yesterdays $32 ones. The vegetables were awesome to but needed quite a bit of salt.
The other day, I visited a retail store and I was looking at the shoes and clothes. While I was studying the shoes, I noticed that many of the shoes were sizes 6 or 7 so I'm guessing that most women have small shoe sizes. This may be very far from the truth but it's just a guess.
While we were walking, we walked through this huge (and relatively famous) park that had this interesting tree.
Well, I've typed long enough! Bye!
So, this blog is about me traveling and writing random reviews on things I've done today. Hope you enjoy!
The Luna Tourist
So, first things first, this is a blog about me touring the world in the eyes of a young tourist. The name of this blog doesn't necessarily mean that I only travel at night because that would be stupid. Anyway, lets get down to business. I will try (and probably fail) to write everyday but DO NOT count on it (though I doubt anyone will come to my blog everyday but it's nice to have hopes). Enjoy and live through my strange, but amazing adventures.

July 9th, 2011 Destruction, Greek Food, and Rugby
Today, my family and I (duh, why would the forget me?) explored more of Christchurch. here, it seems only half of it was affected by the earthquake while the other half is anything but damaged. Everything on this side looks new and modern while the other side looks like it had been through a long war.
Eventually, we reached this HUGE park where these teenagers were playing rugby, which is a combination between soccer and football. This sport requires many skills but you can get very strange pictures when people are playing. Zoom in for more even stranger effects!
For lunch, we ordered this lamb gyro from this food truck. This food was the best I've had on this trip. The food truck was called "Dimitri's Greek Food". We also went to this (smelly) fish market which sold a ton of fish. Here, we bought some fried fish (don't ask what type of fish because I really don't know) and it was awesome!! So that's about it. Please enjoy this picture of this useful lock.
