So our flat mates well what a unique bunch of people they are. We found this room through an agent which ment we didn't meet anyone before we moved in. We didn't actually see anyone for the first 4 days we were here.

2 of them only come out of their rooms to smoke (not always tobacco) and heat up food in the microwave, strange but ok. The third is ok but not very chatty he eats in the kitchen but doesn't speak. Then there is the fourth, we nicknamed him and his girlfriend mr and mrs psycho. They were always arguing loudly for us all to hear and he definitely had little man syndrome. She could unfortunately let herself into the flat and would come and go as she please whether he was here or not!

I got woken one morning by her trying to get in his room, which she couldn't do so she is crying and banging the door (she did that a lot) turns out he wasn't in there and came home at 3 in the afternoon.

Another night we were watching TV and heard a loud bang, he had broken is bedroom door by throwing something at it, she arrived not long after and they continued to argue for hours. They stopped about 1am then started again about 7am, turns out she hits him as we didn't see him for a week after (quite unusual) then when I did see him he had the remains of a black eye. He moved out not long after. His replacement is not as bad but still a little strange. Luckily though no girlfriend to argue with.

We live in a block of flats and it would seem that ours are not the only crazy ones. We all got woken at 4am one night by a loud bang and lots of noise, could see nothing out the window. Dan went off to work at 8 then text to tell me to go outside. The man in the flat next to ours decided to do an experiment at 4am, to see if his oil radiator could fly. Turns out they don't fly very well but they do make a good hole in the window. He then tried the wardrobe and his girlfriends clothes needless to say none of these fly very well. He was evicted quite early the next day, she was never seen again. They are a crazy bunch.

It's not just out flat mates that are crazy it's our fellow backpackers as well. We have stay in quite a few hostels up to this point. We have had drunk people rocking up at 2am waking the entire hostel of 50 people and he couldn't see what the problem was, he may have done the next morning when he was evicted! We had an entire bus load of crazy hostel mates turn up in the picturesque and scenic Lake Tekapo, they have a tour here called the Kiwi Experience, it comes with a reputation a bit like club 18-30. You can imagine our joy when they arrived and took over the lodge we were staying in luckily only for one night.

The best of all has to be an older man who felt that the 8 bed dorm we were all sharing was actually his own bedroom so he could open the curtains when he felt like it, turn the heating up full blast (wasn't that cold for once), and put the light on when it suited him. The other 7 of us were quite considerate but this obviously did not rub off on him so it became a game to me in the end. He turned the heating up so I turned it off, he opened the curtains so we closed them.
