Kiwi
Jei as buciau sitojojo radijaus direktoriumi, visa diena Christchurcho gyventojai klausytu vieno is stilingiausiu Lietuvos estrados veikeju Snai, kuris daznai koncerto pabaigoje padaugines snapses krisdavo nuo scenos, bei ansamblio "Poliarizuoti stiklai" amzino hito.
Naujoji Zelandija padalinta i dvi salas - siaurine siaureje ir kaip bebutu keista pietine pietuose. Salyje gyvena 4 milijonai zmoniu, ketvirtadalis pietineje puseje. Christchurch, didziausias pietuose, talpina maziau nei puse milijono. Po triuksmingo Sydnejaus pustustis miestas placiomis gatvemis atrodo kaip koks mazas provincijos kaimukas. Jaukus, tvarkingas, ramus. Kai i autobusa, vaziuojanti is orouosto, suguzejo burys azijieciu mokinuku, akimirkai suabejojau ar negrizau per klaida i Azija. Teko patikrinti pasa ir antspauda, leidzianti praleisti cia 3 menesius (beje, paso puslapiai siek tiek pamarginti vizomis ir antspaudais padeda mutininkams suprasti, kad keliauju aplink kamuoli). Zelandieciai vadinami kiwiais del salose gyvenanciu pauksciu, kuriu mieste sutikti neteko (pauskciu neteko), taciau vaisiai tuo paciu vardu parduotuvese kainuoja tiek pat kaip ir bulves. Indijoje skrandi lepines mango, Kambodzoje arbuzais, Tailande mangustinais Christchurche piktnaudziauju kiviais. Akys kas minute igauna vis ryskesne zalia spalva.
Australijoj madingas jaunimas atplaukia elektronikos puta - aptempti dzinsai, spalvingi kedai, rastuoti dzemperiai (Europoj taip jau rengesi pries pora metu:), cia karaliauja juoda spalva, oda, t.y. tokia gitarine alternatyva. Ziema dar saltesne nei pas kenguras, nedaug turistu ir hostelis migdo vos keleta zmoniu.
New Zealand is divided into two islands - north and south. 1 million people of total population of 4 million live in South island and Christchurch is the biggest town with less than half a million of kiwis. Coming from Sydney it looks like quite, peaceful countryside town. Loads of people from Asia round, had to check my passport to make sure I flew to the right place. People here called kiwis because of the birds with the same name but I think it's because of kiwifruit. It's same price as potatoes, I can't stop eating and my eyes are green now. It's cold, not many tourists around and the hostel is more like home with really clean kitchen and only few guests staying.
Siryt pazadino slapdriba, oras kaip Airijoj - viena minute sviecia saule, kita kala lietus. Gyvenimo ritmas monotoniskas, gali pavaiksciot botanikos sodo ar parko takeliais, nedidelis meno centro rajonukas su galerijomis ir parduotuvemis, teatru ir neholivudisko kino namais.
The weather here is similar to irish - sun and rain dancing together by changing sides time to time. There is art centre here with galleries and shops, theatre and arthouse cinema, few parks to walk around but not much things going on and it's kind of cool.

Phoenix Park?!.. Nearly same tree (with leaves), where we go often for a middle-week picnic. We kick ball, play badminton and have some nice meal and drinks ;)
