Hello again!
So, I managed to get digital clocks on my blog! As you can see, the red one is German time (e.g. in Rietberg, my hometown), the orange one shows the time in Singapore (where I will stay for some hours during my journey) and last but not least at all, you can see how late it is in New Zealand (e.g. in Nelson, where I will stay!).
The stars I marked for Rietberg (*Rietberg/Germany*) stand for my current location. So, when I am in New Zealand, I will put them on "Nelson (New Zealand)"! =)
Well, I hope you like this and that this enriches my blog!
If you want clocks like these, too - visit http://www.clocklink.com/ and get one! :-P
Okay, that's all 4 now again,
have a great time!

Update =)
So, hey everybody!
After quite a long time, I thought I could write something about my current situation according to my stay in New Zealand.
I didn't get neither my hostfam nor my visa information so far but I trust in Taste - they'll manage that for me!
Today, there are still 2 months 2 weeks and 5 days left until I finally leave. I am already quite excited but nevertheless, it's still quite far away... I already thought about leaving my friends and family, about being away for nearly 6 months but I made my decision and I'd never forgive myself if I didn't do this exchange!
That might sound a little like "I'd like to stay in Germany!" but in contrary: I do actually look forward to spending that time in New Zealand and if you focus on the time, you'll see that 5 months are very short!
I somehow begin to realize that I will finally go! And when I think 'bout this - I get goosebumps on my back! And my legs start to become warm etc.! Well, my muscles are ready to go right now! Amazing things... although a little sentimental. =P
Let's switch over to another thing: I got some more links for you in my link list! These are about studying at a university in New Zealand
like e.g. Auckland University or Canterbury University in Christchurch. I found out that Germans and French pay the same fees as New Zealanders! That's kinda amazing... and guess what: I wanna study down there! =) Besides, I managed to get the lyrics and the sound of New Zealand's National Anthem as one link! Just search for the link in my list.
Well, okay, that's all 4 now!
I promise to write something when I get new information =)
cu l8r,
yours always

Departure Date
Heeeey everbody!
I got my departure date yesterday as I phoned my organization because my Dad would have had to take a day off otherwise but my departure date is on Saturday, so he needn't.
Well, I will take off on Saturday 27th January 2007 at Paderborn airport in Germany at about 7:20 pm, then travel to Frankfort International Airport in Germany (until 8:10 pm). There, I will have a break until 10:20 pm and then take the plane to Singapore International Airport. This part takes about 12 hours already, so it's pretty long but it's the time I normally sleep, so it will be easy for me I hope.
I will arrive at Singapore the next day at about 10:15 am (German time) or 5:15 pm (time there). I'll have to wait another 3:45 hours for my next plane, so I will part at 9:00 pm (time in Singapore) or 2:00 pm (German time). Then, I will spend another 09:45 hours in the plane to Auckland where I will arrive at 11:45 am (time in New Zealand) or 11:45 pm (German time). So here they are: 12 hours of time difference.
I will be spending another few hours in Auckland I think and then arrive in the afternoon in Nelson (which actually means midnight in German time).
The total travelling time including my "breaks", I will spend 30 hours and 40 minutes in a plane or at an airport. =(
Well, nevertheless I am really looking forward to my stay down under and if I had packed, I would have gone there immediately after Taste told me. =)
Hmm, maybe times will change a little but this should be my rough schedule or timetable.
Have a great day (and write lots of comments) everyone!!!! =)
Yours Chris...tian

Some more links
Hello again!
Well, there's not much to say about that exchange thing and as I was bored a bit, I supplemented the link list. Ah, well: 5 MONTHS LEFT TILL I GO!!!!!! *lol* Forgot 2 tell you...
So, now you can also find something about the All Blacks, you can see where Nayland College exactly is (in the town of Nelson, Stoke), you can see how the weather in Nelson currently is and much more.
I hope you'll have fun trying those links and if there's something new, I promise to tell you as soon as possible.
Have a great time then...

Writing comments
Writing comments on my reports should be possible for everyone now.
I am not used to this blog-thing but I hope you will succeed if you want to write something.
You needn't become a team.member to write a comment - that's the way I understood it.
So, let's have a try.
Bye,
Chris

Perfect combination ....

Hey,
I just found a picture about Horseback-riding near to Nelson (special thanks to Cape Farewell HorseTreks, Nelson, NZL).
I am already dreaming but well... Have to do my homework now =(
Bye bye
Could be useful to send a pic of me ...
So, hi everyone!
So far, I didn't load any photo of myself, so I thought it might be useful (so that everybody of you knows that this is really my blog *wink*).
So, here it is... Well, it is a quite good pic but of course I changed since then. Well, but I think it is still me :-P
Have a great time...
