I'M HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN AUCKLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!





Well, I don't know where to start? I mean WOW. This place is awsome, no it's great, no it's, it's, it's WONDERFUL and I think the closest thing to Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, did you know that 80% of its fruit and Veggies that are picked in the morning are on the shelves that early afternoon. They have this clean (I will use that word a lot) Veg and fruit shelves. They have gutters a long the shelving so that if you take one and another one falls, it will not hit the floor! LOGICK!!!!

The buses work well, there are tons in the morning but during the afternoon they do from every 15 min to every 40 min. It's so funny, if the bus driver wants to have a smoke, he has to stop the bus, get off and walk to a smokers spot. And no one complains about him stopping!! It is Crazy, It is New Zealand!! AHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!

I mean last year a girl was killed after her bus stoped, and she got off she crossed infront of the bus and a car hit her and killed her. She was the first and has been the last because the New Zealand Goverment changed the law with in the week that if a bus stops and you are passing, your speed must slow to below 20kmPh while the bus is stoped!! They are having a huge campaign on Zebra Crossings because,'' even though the numbers are down and low, they not low enough'', so the Goverment is having a campaign to bring the number of people hit on Zebra crossings a year below the current number of 15 people!!!!!!!!!!!!! NATION WIDE!!!!!!! IT'S CRAZY!!!!!!

Contractors here are making money because of the labour and skills shortage. You are put on a waiting list for 2 months -4 months for a shop fitter. If you want to tile your house you will wait 6 months!!! And you will pay!!!!


The City is Full of weird, wacky and wonderful people. Just wish I could upload the Sounds and Smells of Auckland. There is always the smell of fresh coffee and food cooking in the air. Now and again, due to road works, you get a wooof!!!! There are a lot of Japanese students here, who come to learn English at University, before going back to Japan. And the nice thing is that they are so clean, and clean up after themselves!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
The birds here are a bit much. You can't have a piece of bread with out them following you as you walk. They will eat off your plate or out your hand. It so COOOLLL!!!!!!!!!!
