Down under in Kiwi land

Hello All,

I've successfully arrived in Auckland and started work. Been checking listings for cars, and share houses.

It seems like it will be reasonably full on, the work is more interesting, complicated and structured.

They have a full on cafe style coffee machine at the office!!!!

any barrista style tips or advice would be useful :p

The people I work with seem pretty nice, and its a

In other big news, I've bought a car, a nice little 1994 MR2, and house hunting has started to yield some rewards!!!

The people at work are a lot younger, around my average age as compared to my previous job.

It has rained intermitantly since I arrived, hehe, reminds me of Melbourne in ways Brisbane never did :p

I expect to start being settled in and hooning around the country side within a few weeks.

I'll be making a trip to Brisbane soon (probably) and a trip to Queenstown (maybe) which is in the south isle with the next few weeks as well. The plans havnt been made yet, so offer suggestions of good times, or mention if travel plans collide. Queenstown seems fairly expensive, in the way of around 700NZ dollars, so unless I can find some way of making that more affordable, I may not be able to go :(

Otherwise, things are going pretty well, the weather is colder than I'm used to, but its not as bad as I thought it would be.

How are you all going people!
