Every day at the Clubs and Societies Center there is a $3 lunch put on by the Hare Krshna. I usually go once or twice a week with my friends...the food is delicious and they
give you tons of it! My favorite day is Wednesday which is soup day, they give you barley soup, a hearty homemade roll (it's huge!) and dessert. They serve the a different
flavor of the same dessert everyday- it's sambola. I'd never had it before, it's texture is most like Cream of Wheat...except it tastes good.


This is what a common flat of a university student looks like. Not too tidy, but usually with no major damages. The street in front of it is usually covered with broken glass
because the students here don't recycle- when they're done with a bottle the just smash it on the ground or throw it somewhere or at something. Some of the flats are decorated
with art, like this one's surfing penguin, while others have names like "the Castle".

This rugby stadium is being built right between the campus and the harbour. It is going to be used in the Rugby World Cup which is coming to NZ in this upcoming summer.

Fun Fact: Agave's first flower is usually their last. This particular plant is about 10 metres tall and took 25 years to get to a point where it was ready to flower. Just a few
months ago it had a bright yellow flowering-ball on it's top. The flowering takes all of the plant's energy, so it will die after it's flower finishes. Althought it's no longer
flowering, you can see how amazingly tall it was.
