Photos of Wanaka, NZ





As requested, I've uploaded more of my NZ photos. This time the photos are taken in the town of Wanaka, a town northeast of Queenstown right near the slopes of the Southern Alps. It has a strange attraction named Puzzling World. Quite funny, but yet quite expensive due to the horrible exchange rate with the HK$. I guess it is similar to Ontario's Science Centre back in Toronto but much smaller. Lots of scientific and holographic imageries. Wanaka is famous for its Lake Wanaka as shown in the photos. It offers lots of outdoor activities.
There does not seem to be any mood to work today. There's nobody taking the bus this morning. It was so empty. Much of the labourers and students are off today. The construction site is really silent today. Officially we get to leave at 3:00pm today. But, don't know if we can leave earlier?
Had a boisterous dinner last night in Fai Chi Kei (筷子基) neighbourhood. We had 22 people occupying two tables. Sorry, no photos. I was too hungry last night. We had lamb pot, fried squid, fried eggplant, etc. One of my colleagues whom rented a flat in Va Chui Garden has become the company's unofficial club house. He's even copied the keys to the flat to the receptionist! People go to his house to play mahjong just about every week. The flat is not too bad as the lobby is newly refurbished. The elevator is quite clean and the flat is brightly lit. What a farcry to my flat at Edificio Hoi Pan Garden. Areia Preta (黑沙環) is not known for cleanliness in Macau. But I figured it is not the dirtiest either. I noticed the areas in Iao Hon(祐漢), Toi San (台山) and Portas do Cerco (關閘) is the worst of the lot.
Working as a Macau Government official is like heaven. The husband of the receptionist tells us how his supervisors are pretty useless and actually takes the afternoon off to go do a facial in Zhuhai, China. Haha. The husband works in the Immigration Dept. at Portas do Cerco. He said the government workers are lazy, stupid and downright morons! No point in working as they know nobody fires government workers. If that worker is useless, they'd rather not give him/her any work as it will create more hassles/problems on the supervisors. What kind of logic is that?
