Quick update

Happy New Year!! (a little late with that). I've been a little quiet and since I would like to think there are hundreds, no thousands, of people clamouring for my next blog post, here it is.

So, what's going on in New Zealand? Rain. I mean its rained almost every day since December. The two visits we've had from friends have been highlighted by downpours. The Kiwis swear this hasn't happened in years. We're all a little sick of it. I read that it has something to do with La Nina. Seems she was so excited about my trip to NZ that she wanted to tag along. I realize that some of you are dealing with snow and cold temperatures, but this is my pity party.

Despite the rain, Jen and I went to another "concert" on Sunday night. What I thought was going to be a low-key acoustic performance from Tiki Taane turned out to be a Sunday night rave with glow sticks, bad dancing (I saw a grown man twirling) and experimental house music. Good thing the tickets were cheap.

Burning my bra: I've got a pair of jobs that have kept me very busy the past few weeks. I work at the Waihi Beach Top 10 as a cleaner in the mornings and at the Waihi Beach Surf Club in the kitchen and the bar in the afternoons. They've both given me a chance to hang out with Kiwis, who like to tease me about my accent.

There are some big trips coming up, so expect the blog to pick back up.

Thanks for reading.
