NZ

My friend Geoff took a pretty big jump at the new year. After working like a dog for 6 months, he packed up everything he could take and moved to New Zealand. I thought I'd share part of an email I got from him. He shared a ton of information just by writing out a list... here are some interesting statements he made about "middle earth" since he's been there:

• The airline lost the bags that contained my clothes and power adapters.
• I wore the same shirt of three days. It was not pleasant.
• Then got tired of smelling and was forced to buy a couple ofStussy shirts because they are so cheap here.
• The crosswalks make really funny noises here.
• I sleep in a room with three other people who are from either A.The UK or B. Germany and don't like that I snore so loud.
• There are about one zillion cute girls here. None of them are "hot"per se, but all are more Geoff type cute, which is good. Also, theyall have funny accents.
• I have a psuedo-date with a gal named Sophia who is trying out to beon the New Zealand sailing team.

I think that managing to get a date after you've been in a foreign country for a few days is a pretty good thing. Unless she's some psycho like what you see in the movies who ends up stealing all of his money, and leaves him naked somewhere remote. Or worse in Geoff's case, a sailboat.
