I survived Week 1

Really, I did a lot of stuff. I have...

Rented a house
Connected gas, electricity, phone & internet although phone & internet aren't working yet
Got myself a NZ mobile phone number
Heard my container arrives next Monday (yeah!)
Done my Council familiarisation tour
Had at least 2 meeting every day
Been to my first christmas function
Given mum & dad a v quick tour of the town

Not bad as first weeks go

I have been collecting photos of distinctly kiwi objects and as soon as I'm connected at home I'll be posting those as well as some of the house and most importantly the view - I can see the sea!

Hi!
I am so proud I have a sister who blogs - who would have thought the old girl would be the most tech-savvy of the lot of us...
Views of the ocean - sounds fantastic. I can't wait for me, mal and the boys to fit into your guest room!!
Are you just LOVING being there?!!
It'll be good when the girls arrive - then you'll feel like you're really there instead of on some strange working holiday

talk soon,
Helen
