So today was an impromptu, spontaneous trip to Rotorua. A place I've been wanting to go to ever since my senior Pin Li, told me to coz of the Thermal springs that exude crazy funky looking colours from the earth.


CHECK IT OUT,

This is called a Champagne Pool.


Well, you wouldn't wanna drink that, coz,

It's 100 degree celsius in every hot water pool.
So yeah. I wish you all the love in the world.

Anyway, the champagne pool will look more insane if I added a colour filter.

Then again, that's not the real thing so here it is again,

Yes. It was raining. Then it started to get heavier, and we were warned that we couldn't go any further.
In my heart, I was happy coz all I wanted to see was this champagne pool. Can't be bothered with the rest of the track. I am lazy.

Because of the stormy weather, and we were cut short of our mini hike, we were refunded our ticket to the thermal park. ALL $32.50 OF IT HAHAHAHHA How awesome?!?! It was like a freakin free trip man. Woohoo!!

Eh you think Singaporeans kiasu and cheapo? I tell you! THE ANGMOHS EVEN MORE KIASU CAN. Especially Germans. Americans also. Scandinavians. ALL LAH.

Anyway, we still got to see a bit more thermal stuff on our way back.

Shrek's living quarters.
It was freaking fluorescent and BRIGHT and almost luminous man. I can imagine a monster living in there.

Oh and btw, THE WHOLE PLACE, I mean the WHOLE of Rotorua, reeked of ROTTEN EGGS. Coz of the sulphur. But you know what? I actually liked the smell. To me, it smelled like food. I don't smell the 'rotten'. Only the 'eggs'. That was what I said when I first smelled a thermal pool. "Smells like food actually" LOLLLL everybody thought I was nuts or weird or something but I actually seriously liked it. Definitely tolerable. Initially, it smelled like fart in the car, but after that, I liked it.

Earlier in the day when the sky was significantly bluer.
Tempted to push one of these people in eh?

Can you imagine? People actually LIVE here with all these sulphuric smells. That's insane!
Is it even normal to be inhaling this much sulphuric gases?? I dunno man.

So anyway, yeah, great day despite shitty weather coz we got in for free and I got to see my Champagne pool HEHE.

Bought some postcards as well. Haven't written any, but definitely gonna be sent.

Wanted to do my readings today but I guess. Procrastination really is. Quite. Powerful.

SIGH! But I'm happy coz of a well-spent Sunday : )

And you guys love my regular posts huh! I like it too. But my assignments are slowly rolling in. Then again, I'm on exchange. I should try not to be too anal about them. Speaking about 'anal', a couple in New Zealand tried to name their child Anal. But the government barred them from doing so. Just a little tidbit for thought.
