Sveciuose pas Velingtona / Life in Wellington




Pakeliaves 'laukiniai' pietineje saloje, siaurineje visa laika praleidau mieste, sveciuose pas pona Lina. Linas, su kuriuo susipazinom jam begyvenant Airijoje, pries kelis metus paliko zaliaja sala ir isvaziavo i kita sala kelti ekonomikos.

Nerealiai praleidau laika, visokiems turistiniams reikalams pasilikau tik sia diena ir, lyjant lietui, prasivaiksciojau po centra, uzeidamas i Te Papa Tongarewa muzieju.




Siaip laika leidom su Lino smagia kompanija is viso pasaulio kampeliu (pasirodo cia vietiniu gyventoju negausybe, dauguma - atvyke dirbti uzsienieciai ir kiwiai). Laiko leidimo programa pakankamai intensyvi - apsilankymas parke su visokiais pauksciais, senu auksakasiu tuneliu ir agregatais salia pasivaiksciojimo taku.



Vakare - krepsinis, paskutini karta zaidima saleje stebejau pries pora metu, kai lietuviai Vilniuje patvarke rusu rinktine (po to jie mus patvarke jau cempionate, echh). Lietuviu iki 19 metu rinktine ruosiasi pasaulio cempionatui, kuris vyks N. Zelandijoje.

Vaikinukai po 26 valandu skrydzio ir vos vienos dienos poilsio siaip ne taip iveike kivius, kurie pries varzybas susoko tradicini haka soki. Susipazinau su Velingtono lietuviu bendruomenes nariais, kuriuos cia suskaiciuoti uztenka vienos rankos pirstu:).

Po varzybu i bara, grojo kazkokia grupe, vokalistas, niolikiniu mergaiciu svajone, pritariant gitaroms dainavo apie nieka. Pasirodyma isgelbejo vienas ziurovu, pareikalaves grupe groti bliuza, o pats, pritardamas lupine armonikele, dainavo apie meile ir soko kaip Jamiroquai po gero savaitgalio. Soumenas stipresniais kurinio momentais krisdavo ant zemes ir savo soki paskyre ata Jacksonui Michaelui.

Kita diena ryte lankem maratona ir namu kina ant sofos. Labai gerai pailsejau, atsimaitinau ir dabar galiu vel pulti i zygi. Jei sveciuosites Velingtone, patariu aplankyti Lina, jis jumis pasirupins:).



In north island I spent all the time in the Vellington city visiting a friend I met in Ireland. Linas few years back moved to N. Zealand and lives a quality life. I didn't do touristy things, only went for a walk today visiting Te Papa Tongarewa museum.




Spent all weekend with Lina's friends from all over the world working and living in Wellington. Good fun, we went to park for a day and in evening Lithunian U-19 basketball team was playing friendly match against kiwis Tall Blacks U-19.





Of course we won and I met almost all lithuanian in Wellington, let's say four of all five living there:).




Evening in a bar with indie pop band playing sweet shit. At the end of the show the guy from audience asked the band to play blues and sang it really well playing harmonica as well. That guy stole the show with his crazy dance moves, falling on the floor at the right moment (the dance was dedicated to rip Jackson Michael). Next day we tried to watch marathon and staying at home watching movies.

I rested so well feeling like at home, it even rains like in Dublin today.



Keletas foto is muziejaus, kiwiai pasistenge - daug ekspoziciju per sesis aukstus, mokomoji medziaga vaikams, o man patiko kampelis, kurio kuriniu negalima ireminti.






Following Sydney graffiti show, some examples from Wellington's streets.









Rytoj trumpa kelione i Montreali. Kanadieciai, be klevu sirupo ir bedanciu ledo ritulininku, gali pasigirti gera muzika. Girkis, Kanada..
