I have new flat mates!! Along with Briar and Hannah (who are the pre-existing flat mates) I now live with Hugh and Sarah. They are a couple from Novascosha, Canada, who are also here on a working holiday visa. They arrived here in NZ about a month before I did, and have been doing a bit of traveling/camping/hostel living in the mean time. They are both really great and it’s nice to know people who are in a similar situation to my own. It’s extremely easy to relate to one another.
This means that I have moved from my awesome huge room, into a smaller not quite as awesome room. It’s still a great room, but doesn’t exactly have the character that the first room did. On the flip side, I’m saving about $60 per week with the smaller room…I think I got the better deal.
Sarah and Hugh also really enjoy cooking and good food- I knew we’d get along from the start. One of the first nights they moved in we mastered the art of steaming muscles (see picture above) and tonight we will conquer homemade sushi. The fresh seafood here is out of this world, I can’t get enough of it.
Other than that, I’ve been continuing the job search, exploring my surroundings, doing lots of cooking and reading, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather. I gotta say it’s really strange to see Christmas decorations everywhere when you’re sweating just standing outside.
