1. If I can buy something instead of making it myself, I probably will. The whole DIY thing that kiwis love so much is definitely not for me.
2. There’s no gardener inside of me. Kiwis love their patches of green. I’m more into apartment blocks.
3. I don’t like mince pies. And that, my friends, is [...]

1. I could wear jandals all year long (but I still love my high heels)
2. I’ve lost my ability to speak to strangers in a formal way. Forget the ‘kind regards’ and the ’sir’. a ‘cheers’ here, a ‘mate’ there and we’re good to go.
3. My idea of a well spent Sunday afternoon three years [...]

a couple of months ago*, i was on the bus home and, as usual, had a look at the ads that fill the bus. except that, this time, i couldn’t understand any. the bus was all filled with posters with the same ad and they were all in chinese. i figured out that it was [...]

South Island, New Zealand, August 2009
What you can’t see: all the other sheep and lambs running around (and away from our car) and our enthusiasm from snapping lots of pictures of them all.

An incredibly scary adventurous way to start the next quarter of century and one more thing crossed out of the bucket list.
* but of course i did. and i was shit scared from seeing all the water below and the bridge’s structure in front of me and the wind blowing. during those 5 seconds that it [...]

polly evans has been keeping me company on the bus ride to work (and sometimes back home, if it’s not too dark or i’m not too tired to keep my eyes open). not polly evans herself, of course, but her second book, kiwis might fly, about the time she spent touring kiwiland on a motorbike.
i’ll [...]

having said [...]

out of 144 countries surveyed, new zealand was elected as the most peaceful nation on earth. now this doesn’t mean we should all go leaving our doors unlocked at all times or anything like that. crime still happens in new zealand (and every now and then we hear about some really violent ones). but it’s [...]
