Hello! so everyone loved the videos! I decided to post some more to let you see the my room and the house and my garden etc!!! I forgot to go and film my garden in this first video so I went and made another! It was a good week...I am going to get more shifts at the cafe so that is good! Mark got his bike back! Wahooo! He went riding on Wednesday so he was happy! It was also Waitangi day (Feb 6) - the day the treaty was signed between the Maori and the Pakeha (the Maori word for the white European settlers). I had to work so I think I get paid time and a half! So I went out last night with Mark's friend Greg's girlfriend Jess and her sister Jenn. It ... read more

Hello! So I had my first moment the other day while I was driving home from work, just enjoying the view of the mountain and the ocean and then it hit me that I LIVE HERE lol.

La ville offre une gallerie d'art dont l'entrée est gratuite et expose des artistes locaux notamment Len Lye qui est connu pour ses oeuvres mobiles. Au centre de la ville une de ses sculpture est plantée au bord de la plage. C'est une baguette de vent qui ressemble fortement au Bec sur Lajoux mais plus grand et qui bouge avec le vent. Les parcs sont l'endroit idéal pour une promenade avec deux étangs, un jet et une chute d'eau, des barques que l'on peut louer, une scène de concert sur l'eau (si un jour les LAN vont en Nouvelle Zélande, il faut qu'ils jouent sur cette scène) et même un ... read more

I built lots of things a gun, and I built an army truck and I built a hut, with a bed and things that you can live in. We saw old army guns and cannons too.
