Check out my new photos on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=32363&id=1497519424&l=3af5257e5e .
Loving college so far. My roommate is really lovely, we're having a good time! Room looks bare at the moment but I'll be putting up some photos.
Basically, college is exactly how i imagined it. Every stereotype is true, except that Sorority girls are not always pretty. But thats about the only exception. Hahha ask me for examples if you really want more details ;)
Went to a college party yesterday, great fun with the Ice Hockey team. Apparently they are really good so I can't wait to go to a few games and trainings :D
Everyone wears college gear here. Everything says "Oswego State" or "Lakers" or SUNY.. I'm living in my Hart Hall t-shirt.
Campus has an Ice hockey rink, two pools, about 9 or 10 residence halls, a huge F***ing lake (Ontario) and a starbucks... Amongst everything else of course. The College Book Store is huge, and they have all sorts of stuff with Oswego state on it (fashion). Anything from hoodies, blankets, pjs, key rings, hand bags to necklaces.... They've got almost everything. Loving how American it all is yay!
Haha ask me more if you want, but I keep forgetting what to say. I'll put up photos regularly tho, so be sure to keep checking my facebook profile at http://facebook.com/kelseyob
Love ya! Comment :D

Sorry.....
Okay so it's been a while since I last posted, my bad.
What have I done since then? Well, Paris was awesome, we had really gorgeous weather which is great, made for some really stunning photos (see them at http://facebook.com/kelseyob) and it was a highlight of the trip so far. my Fav place was arc de triomphe.
London for a few more days, trips to Hampton Court and Windsor to do some sight seeing. Went with Kimberley, Georgia, Isabelle and dad for both trips, really really great.
Trip to Greenwich to see the centre of the world and some clocks lol. Great times...
And now I'm in NYC! Pretty amazing really.... Comment if you are interested in a I <3 NY t-shirt and i might be able to get people one but my baggage is really limited yo...
Off to college on monday, can't wait. Having so much fun. Missing everyone tho, gonna be awesome to see Ben and Jeremy.
Having some difficulties with getting a phone, I'm wondering whether Virgin Mobile has coverage in Oswego. We'll see.
Thanks for stopping by, remember to check my photos on my facebook.
Lov you all. x

Paris Tomorrow
Hey all,
I'm off to Paris tomorrow and thus will be out of action for a few days, will post when I get back... (Fri morning NZ time)
Hope all is well in Godzone.
Dad and I went to the Tower of London today and did a big tour on the Big Red Buses which was good fun until one of the buses started going around in circles for no good reason.... London is really expensive, but it's such a lovely city.
Riding the tube a lot and dashing around everywhere at the speed of light. everything is so fast paced, it's hard to keep up. I just want to be the annoying tourist that lags behind and looks at everything hahah.
Really enjoying my book! Going to be good to read on the eurostar if it doesn't make me sick.....
talk soon. x

London + more
I found out my roommate today. Very exciting, I can't wait to hear from her. Unfortunately, I can't facebook stalk her 'cause it looks like she doesn't have a facebook.
I forgot to tell you all about Kim and Andy's gorgeous kids! There are photos to go onto my facebook soon... But Georgia is 3 and is so sweet, loves to play with me. I am soooo jealous of all her pretty dresses and hairclips. I wish I was young again (you know when falling over didn't really hurt that much, and playing in the bath was the most fun thing in the whole world)... Isabelle is younger, 20months and has a bundle of energy. You'll put her on your lap and she'll wriggle around to give you a kiss before she jumps off to run around the yard a few dozen times. Her hair is so cute and curly. And they both smell fantastic! I never expected kids to smell so clean.
London is stunning, apparently this is the first fine weather they have had for a long time. Can't wait to do some sight seeing tomorrow!
I have crunchie bars, pineapple lumps and L&P in my bag and I really want to eat it all lol. Don't know if it is going to make it to the states...
Off to Paris on Tuesday, will be great. Sam has given me some good advice for the route we should take, looks like walking is the trick. Hopefully dad will listen, otherwise we could split up like we did in Hong Kong, no biggie.
Missing everyone soo much. xx

Hong Kong
Okay, so I've decided that the best way to blog etc is just to do it in like a shorthand.. Partly because I can't be online for long, and partly because there is so much to write about!!
So....
5 -6 Aug.
Flew from AKL - HKG. 1 hours. Read flag on plane. Pasta for dinner, frittat for b'fast. Train from airport - station where we caught a free shuttle to the hotel. 130km/h. My bags are really really really heavy. 50kg +. I forgot my camera charger :( and my blue swimming togs.. Maybe Ben could bring them over :P Hotel room is small but comfortable! Checked in at 10am. Dad bought sum glasses for NZ $290 for frames, lenses, transition and all! To pick up 7 aug. Sight dseeing. Lunch - iced coffee and spare ribs Hong Kong style. delish.. Dad had fried rice and beer. Bought a new camera charger! Slow but good. Approx $25NZ. I am tired.
Trip to Big Budda at Ngong Ping on Lantau Island. Caughtt eh train. Complicated, NZ$3.10 each way, two connections. Very tired. Cable car to budda. NZ$20. 25mins each way. spectacular views and very scary because we are VERY high up. Light show at 8pm. Not spectacular. Hotel. Sleep.
PS - Mcdonalds sundaes are amazing here for only like NZ$1.20.
