I woke up at 6:30 this morning, obviously too afraid to go back to sleep (I might not wake up to my alarm). I called my mom, got dressed and set out to figure out the bus system. When I finally asked someone where the office was and figured out how the heck to find [...]
Well I woke up this morning at about 9 to get ready for church…and it was raining uncontrollably outside. I also didn’t realize the extreme amount of exercise I got last night walking around for 4 hrs up and down the hills of the Auckland streets. I could barely get out of bed. The church [...]
I’m actually getting fairly excited that my mom wants to come out to Calgary before I leave for Asia. It’s been a couple years since we last seen each other.
HELLO! I finally got to Auckland today after a very long 15 hr plane ride. There was too much fog for us to land in Auckland so we stopped in Fiji for about 2 hrs to get more fuel…I wish I could of just stayed in Fiji, it was beautiful. The weather wasn’t too bad [...]

Blair and I were beginning to get a little frustrated with all the archiving we’ve done of old museum correspondence. Between us we’ve done [...]
Wow, this week has probably been my favourite week here so far!
Last week we chilled out a lot more and only indulged in alcohol on a couple of nights in comparison to the pretty much every night previously!
I’ve continued with attending the orphangae, which I love. It still amazes me that the children are so [...]
You know that scene from Quantum of Solace where James Bond and the really really hot bond chick crash the plane in the desert, walk through the caves and the tiny village then arrive at the 5 star hotel completely filthy and shoeless and everyones looking at them as they pick up their room key? [...]

Yesterday (Sunday, 28th) I spent the afternoon with on of the administrators at my mandarin school - she isn’t too much older than me - maybe mid 20’s so we get along just fine. Anyways, she took me to the tallest observation deck in [...]
