Cultural immersion, part 1

Kia ora. Currently in NZ now. The weather's being too wintery for a summer (50ish currently). I hope it picks up soon for swimming; I want to break in my new boardies. Praying that this sun at the moment will last us until Marlborough Sounds.

This is a part 1 because 1, I need to leave soon for grocery shopping and 2, I don't want to sit here blogging in a small hostel office with Blogger's unrestrained glory displayed on a 19" monitor. Yes, I'm conscious like that. Did write a few entries in my paper journal, so I'll probably digitise it in the coming weeks.

All in all, I am well. I've survived Britishy food (quite missing my Japanese gourmet, oy) and I'm honestly missing people back home. It's probably homesickness; it is. But I should appreciate both (or all) worlds. At least there isn't a language barrier...um, sort of. :P Will explain that later.

Part 2 to come. Pictures later as well.

Good to hear from you, and that there are (few) language problems. I presume you decided to dispense with the laptop, since you are reduced to using public computers. Try not to miss home too much; you're on a great adventure, remember?

Waiting for pics....

Everything ok?

I can't believe I just said that.

Still waiting for pics...

I'm going to guess that there was a tone of concern in that "everything ok?" so I don't see what's weird about you asking. :P If I am correct in guessing so, I do thank you.

Things are okay here; just a bit busy with stuff and too mentally preoccupied to work on my blog (for once). I will get to updating this thing eventually, but just as a disclaimer, I might not get to this in the upcoming week(s) or so. I've got pics, but I'm working on editing the album so it looks nice, well-captioned and organised. I'll try to at least post a link to it soon, even if I don't make a huge update.

Yes, there was a tone of concern. I thought it somewhat odd of myself to be expressing concern about someone I don't know personally, except through writings on the internet.

But whatever.

Good to hear you made it back ok....
