Hello everyone! I hope this email finds you well. I am safe and sound in lovely New Zealand! The flight was fantastic—again, I love international flights—free booze and movies (“Stormbreaker”—0/10; without a doubt it is one of the top 5 worst movies I have ever seen).

This is called the "Finger Game." Dumb name, I know. The game goes as follows: Each person places their index finger on a middle glass filled with a sample from every player's drink. The player who is "up" counts to three and then guesses how many fingers will remain on the middle glass (e.g. say there are 10 participants, including myself, I will count, 1-2-3, and then guess "5" hoping that 5 people have removed their finger from the glass and five have continued to rest their finger on the middle glass). Each participant chooses whether or not they want to leave their finger on the middle glass. If the player guesses the amount of fingers remaining on the glass, that player "wins" and is removed from the remainder of the game. If the player guesses incorrectly, the player stays in the game. The game progresses in a counter-clockwise manner and each participant gets to guess. The loser of the game is the last player to guess correctly the number of fingers remaining on the middle glass--they get the fabulous prize of finishing the "suicide-esqe" middle glass. Delicious.
