Just moved to the new 'home' today. Took a taxi because of the 2 huge pieces of luggage but it only cost NZ$10. Everyone was still in bed when I arrived at 9:30 am. So I just dropped my stuff in my room and went for a long walk to check out the neighbourhood.
When I got back I met 2 of the other flatties (flatmates). The couple I met briefly yesterday, Frederico and Julie. He's Italian and she's Irish (not Chilean). Got a great deal of their story. The other flattie is David, a workaholic geek who rarely comes home. Elaine, the landlady, says he's quite nice. Her son, Christpher (25) was still in bed sleeping after a night out all last night. Elaine took me shopping with her and I got a great tour of a large chunk of the city as a result. Was also able to get lots of groceries in because we had a car to put it all in.
I will stop this update now because this is the noisiest internet cafe that I have ever been in. There are a group of kids playing games together across the network and they are screaming and screaching at each other across the room.
