The new Baby

First off, I realize that this entry doesn't necessarily constitute 'real' news, even to the extent of my other blog entries but... I bought a new bike on TradeMe the other day, and I am really excited about it and wanted to share this news!!! I bought the bike on TradeMe, which is for those who don't know, an essential kiwi experience. TradeMe is basically like Ebay, but only for New Zealand. It is used it seems by basically everyone, and sells basically anything you could imagine. It is also trustworthy, reliable, and easy to use. If you come to New Zealand, you will undoubtedly use TradeMe at some point. This is especially true if you are a student with an insatiable appetite for deals, as most every student is (due to the whole we dont ever have money thing)

Additionally, TradeMe provides comedic relief. To prove this point, I would like to direct you to the following link:

I realize this may only be funny to me, but the link I originally wanted to share I couldn't find, and it would be an insult to its genius to otherwise describe it, though if you know anything about bikes, this so called Porsche bike will provide a glimmer of amusement at the least....

lastly, here are a couple pictures of my new bike!!!!
