I really like Auckland. I really like working where I do and with who I do. There are a million things happening at once, but I really think we are going to be quite successful. The exciting part is we are actually processing some tickets for real, which seems to make things official the software is up and going. In short, I'm happy with work and I think it is really only the beginning.
Things I have found recently... a couple vegetarian restaurants. I music (instrument) store, where I think I made a friend and I put an acoustic bass on lay by... until I get paid. It's made by (wait for it...) J&D... yeah. I've never seen the brand before... and I really like to see what's new to me wherever I am. Its a lower end model, but it'll do and it's what I want. Found a cool "local" NZ shop. I spent an hour or so talking to the co-owner. She's nice. I found an Irish bar called "The Dog's Bollix" ... complete with irishmen talking about the IRA. I like watching Netball. I like watching Rugby...even Cricket. I found a vegan store which stocks everything to keep me alive and in shoes for some time. There is a drink here L&P which is super addictive... fyi, so is "Sweet as..." [aside- "Sweet as" is an expression...]. I dig the harbour. New Zealand wines really are the best in the world... and I like white wine here... weird. (It's still not scotch). Speaking of, send me Laphroig.
I'm off to Sydney tomorrow. Going to meet with some organisations over there... which also means I get to see several of my good friends. I'm staying the weekend and we're having a barbie on saturday.
Since I know this is the highlight...

...more Harbour, ferry landing.
x= Hobson, y=Pitt. I walk South on Hobson, turn left on to Pitt when I'm walking to K'Rd. This is where I turn.
...this was the view right before I left for work this morning. I know. Nothing fake looking about the sky... maybe all of those fake paintings and coffee mugs that had skies like this were right.
