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 13, 2011 Nothing, Banks, and Walking

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This book was exactly like the other one, boring, monotonous, and outdated.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!

July 12, 2011 Letdowns, Library, and Lone Star

Today, we were supposed to be on a Lord of the Rings tour but (of course) the "weather was bad" so instead, we explored the city we are residing in.
Our first place we visited was this library in New Brighton that was amazing. The actual amount of teen books available was relatively low but the actually had a lot of manga (basically Japanese style comics) which was a good thing. It also had a great view of the sea which is right next to the building. After that, we just walked around on the beach's pier and watched people attempt to fish but we never actually saw anyone catch something.
Our next stop was this mall where we ate and "shopped". We ate at this American restaurant (yes, there is something classified as American) called Lone Star. Here, we had to wait forever for our food which was worth the wait. I ordered this chicken stuffed with mushroom, spinach, and something I can't remember. I absolutely love this dish and I would order this over and over again. All the dishes are in huge portions and I had to share almost half of my chicken and not eat most of my salad just to finish a certain amount (okay, that's confusing, so basically, it is huge!!!). The address is:
26 Manchester Street
Christchurch
The above picture is my brother's steak. That is not my dish. Bye!
