| Papanui student |
For the past few days I have mostly been shopping for household items. We usually take the bus down to Northlands Mall. On the 23rd I met one of the head Deans at my new school, Papanui High School. We decided that year 10 would be best for my age, although I have to take some tests when I start school. Since Schools start at year 1 here year 10 would be equivalent to 9th grade in Merica’. For sports in the summer I will be participating in tennis and cricket. The day has 6 periods in it. The school is a closed campus except for year 13 (seniors) :( The basic classes I will be in are, maths, english, history, and science. For electives I can choose 3-6 classes. I still have no idea on what to choose. I will find out when school starts on January 29th.

| Chocolate fish! |
The foods here in New Zealand are different from Merica’, but similar to England’s food. One odd food is Chocolate fish. The outside of the fish is usually milk chocolate, while the inside is a flavored marshmallow. The chocolate fish has an interesting history. Many years back the chocolate fish was used as legal tender like money! Some other foods that people here eat are fish and chips. There are many of these shops around. They also have all of the fast food Restaurants like KFC and Mc’ Donald's that we have in Merica
What about the great butter?
