Tomorrow (tomorrow already! gah!) I leave this hemisphere for six weeks in New Zealand. The forecast for blogging is light-to-nil, since I’ll be travelling lots and won’t usually have reliable internet access. (No camera, so no pics either.) I will be checking my email whenever possible, so Kiwis: if I haven’t already gotten in touch with you and arranged a meetup somewhere, prod me. As soon as I get back, more or less, I’ll be trotting off to Poland for our workshop, so I won’t really resurface until March. See y’all then!

hey kiwi! Just gor a question for you. My boyfriend is from new zealnd (southland, gore). He lives in london at the moment because he cant get a visum for holland. In june i will be qualified so i can sponser him to stay in amsterdam. He is a builder and love to play rugby. Do you know how easy live will be for a kiwi in amsterdam? How easy is it to get a job? Save travelling! maartje
My two cents: lifestyle-wise, I’d expect a Kiwi to miss the space, the nature, and the casualness of NZ life (people don’t fill their agendas nearly as assiduously there). But coming to your girlfriend who already lives there would be totally different to coming as a student and not knowing anyone, obviously.
About work I wouldn’t know, I got to stay as a PhD student which is a fulltime job so I was never really job-hunting.
Hey Samps! Looks like life is treating you pretty well. Loved the pics from Golden Bay. I’m living in Santa Barbara, California if you ever want to visit (Pretty close to LAX if you’re ever going through there). I’ve got Molina visiting at the moment, she’s nannying in Washington DC for a year, and we’ve been reminiscing about the good ol’ days at GBHS. It got me wondering where some people were at, and googling a few names… My email is [redacted]. Later slater!
Whee, more Kiwis! I pulled your email so the evil nasty spambots don’t track you down, hope you don’t mind ;-)
