Antarctica New Zealand

The sea ice group from Dunedin (minus Andy who is still lolly-gagging around somewhere and enjoying the last days of summer) went to an Antarctic fieldwork coordination meeting in Christchurch. I don't think I will ever see that many penguins (the ones made in China) again!
And other types and kinds on every building, fee station and even life size on top of a bus!

And then my own personal new little friend, Lucky, the emperor chick:

There aren't only penguins around - art work (not from Our friends in China) can also be found in the building. This one is called "Fishy Jumpsuit" .... Craig in the "before" picture:

And this is the new t-shirt design for the project K131:
This one also made by Our friends in China:

Highlight of the day: the espresso machine in the lunch area (probably made in Germany - not sure if that would also be "Our friends"?):

And random Antarctic craziness at the tourist place with men climbing out of crevasses (toward the ceiling) and the shop with about 1/2 million penguins (the sales person assured me that every single one of them is made in China):

And Hagglunds for tours around the airport (that one seems to be for Our friends from Japan - every single tourist was Japanese)

A fun day all in all. And we did get a lot coordinated!
