I kept on walking a little panicked, had some homeless guy hitting on me... started walking a little faster until I found my way into a little grocery store. After talking to the cashieer for awhile, I felt a lot better, a kiwi guy from New Zealand, explained that that was the redlight district- obviously, and that that sort of behaviour is not unusual, but there is little to no danger.
Haha, I didn't believe him for some time, but it's OK now... Oh boy, Auzzy has been quite a trip.
Oh by the way, I rode over on a plane with Elton John and his partner. I didn't say anything to him, what could I say...?
And also New Zealands International Rugby Team was also there in uniform. What a flight!
So to be honest the reason you haven't heard from me in so long is I have fallen in love. Head over heels... He's a guy from Africa, and a resident of New Zealand... Tawanda. I could talk about him forever, so I'll spare you the details, but after I met him, I couldn't stop smiling for about a month.
Also I've been working on a treasure hunt! I've hidden about 50 "pieces of treasure" around Palmerston North, each containing pieces to a 1000 piece puzzle, and have invited everyone in my community to play. They get poetic clues each week telling them where some of the treasure is hidden, and they are invited to join the web page and help eachother find them.
I've gotten several groups to sponsor the hunt, so everyone will get a prize, and we are building the puzzle as a community in the library as the pieces are found. It's pretty cool, the radio has been doing some sponsoring as well, and there is an article coming out in the school paper soon as well.
