It's just another site visit...
This one due next monday, it's the last major assignment .... before the "big group work one".
I don't want say which suburb is, that's for you to guess ... it's in Auckland though. Abundance of greens, nice terraced houses, but very unfriendly people. I was stopped by at least three peoplein one hour, they questioned and treated me like a thief or a foreign spy who got their personal secretes in the camera.
I think I'd better own a UoA shirt so next time when people start to think that they have captured a foreign spy, instead of endless explanations, I may just point them the university insignia on the shirt .
Apart from that spy thing, I quite like the style of houses there. Some terraced houses look really even you know that they are at least 30 years old.

There seems to be a lot of photos from this suburb on Wikipedia, so I didn't upload below ones there. Regular cc-by-nc-nd copyright still applies.

As promised earlier, I visited the house where the "Pumpkin", the girl who was abandoned by her father in Australia lived late afternoon today.
Police now sealed the property and treated it as a crime scene because of the concerns on Pumpkin's mather, Ms Liu Anan's safety since she hasn't been seen for nearly a week now. Read more
[Rugby World Cup]Scoreboard
[match 2 vs. Portugal] The Portuguese were very brave in first 20 minutes of first and second half time but quickly ran out of stream after. All Blacks were bit sluggish to face the bravery of Portuguese, but later picked up the pace to score a total of 16 tries.
There were number of errors from All Blacks side, and one of them directly led to a try from portguese, despite the score, the error rate from ABs is still a point of serious concern.
===Score===
New Zealand (52) 108
Tries: Rokocoko 2, Toeava, Williams, Mauger 2, Collins, Masoe, Hore, Leonard, Evans, Ellis, MacDonald, Hayman, Smith 2
Cons: Evans 14

[match 1 vs. Italy ]The All Blacks had a brillant start in 2007 rugby world cup. Richie McCaw scored the first try only 64secs after start of the match.
It's a match everyone expected All Blacks to win, but not a huge margin like this one.

Spectacular “red moon” total Lunar eclipse
It was quite lucky to see this lunar eclipse. Auckland was raining nearly all day, deceased thickness of clouds, and most people were able to see the eclipse between the gaps of clouds.
Sadly I did't have a tripod with me today. Below are just some of the "better" ones.
See something like this makes my heart falls apart

One comment after the original blog states:
“I’m now bit worried about the safety of that iron fence because the theft will just take them all.”
Another comment:
“I don’t think there is a theft dare to steal this one … the theft will definitely be convicted guilty of ‘threaten the integrity of International Olympics Community’ by Chinese court.”
