Anyway, during my morning I was watching a bit of English Premier League, Chelsea vs someone..., and experienced a bit of an aftershock (which Christchurch has been getting many of recently), and it was strong enough to shake the building. I'll admit... at first I did not think it was an aftershock. It happened to occur IMMEDIATELY after Chelsea scored their first goal of the match. My first reaction was that there were a lot of people celebrating. Common consensus in the room (and looking it up) showed that it was indeed an aftershock though. I felt a bit foolish...
Again, we explored Christchurch, walked around a park we'd not seen before and watched more acts in the ongoing festival. We watched a pair from LA, described as ... breakdancing comedians?... and they were amazing. I will admit, a common theme among many of the acts are that they all tell jokes. Now this at first seemed normal, but the common theme I noticed was that NONE of these jokes would fly as "PC" in the states. They were pretty funny though.
One comment I did enjoy was (actually from yesterday), was when a guy was juggling flaming torches. He was having a small kid in the front row rate him though. When he started he waves the torches ne'er the ground and the excess gas flies to the ground making two burning streaks. He goes "Look! Back to the future..." which was followed by a blank stare and the guy saying "You have no idea what im talking about...". Ill admit... it sounds less funny now that I write it but I swear it was. :)
Anyway, dinner was Thai. We've seen a lot of Thai restaurants and wont be visiting anywhere with it as the native food so we thought it'd be good. It was very tasty. We headed back early to do some laundry and cleaning and packing... followed by a very early bed for a very early morning.
Good night New Zealand! For the last time until I return some day far from now...
