</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">The Arizona part of my trip involved the zoo, hikes, horseback
riding, hanging out, and helping out. The Phoenix Zoo had a dinosaurs
exhibit, with animatronic recreations of what some ancient critters might have
looked like. That was a cool addition to their usual stuff.</span> I went on
some walks/hikes with lots of wildflowers due to all of the unusual winter
rains. Mostly the trip was hanging out and helping people out with various tasks. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEica4GVorOUIVYl4UhYGdLkuXJOhnbY7qvmkB316joMmcx_-mk6WJXJCOt5dhAM3fK7PRYJf4C8Dv2EvcapllZvuOf3XvY8_y7K86kfK85l7DR-V9HYSOegSNjLedPXvpehEPXsFJKvc1AO2Ca0IqpjdZt5AZwqiTpEe1EnDPmnnreDATB012B-su04/s4608/DSCF4276.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEica4GVorOUIVYl4UhYGdLkuXJOhnbY7qvmkB316joMmcx_-mk6WJXJCOt5dhAM3fK7PRYJf4C8Dv2EvcapllZvuOf3XvY8_y7K86kfK85l7DR-V9HYSOegSNjLedPXvpehEPXsFJKvc1AO2Ca0IqpjdZt5AZwqiTpEe1EnDPmnnreDATB012B-su04/w480-h640/DSCF4276.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">

take me around her neighborhood of Brooklyn on my last day in NY. I hope I have
that kind of energy a few decades from now. We walked over the Brooklyn
Bridge so I could see things from that perspective, then went to the Brooklyn
Public Library and Brooklyn Museum. I rushed back to Times Square to see the Moulin
Rouge musical – it was amazing and had additional recent pop music mixed in
since the film to make it even more fun. It was a sweet final taste of NY!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-aLMuRAgDAOIZknvu3bWuBnIeBETrQRlWAIvgDAfuQJmIHmwLLZYcFHGX1t_CSDGa6pIy3DkL8ZdS65ned0z4ll3AUKoyORmGhN_QFrMNiKf0h-7924qDsshePLH3NgtFh9lm0KlHnVO5Apf6HIScLEHXeWEDVMem7EJryh6R20Ovn-gETeXgskj/s4032/IMG_7547.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-aLMuRAgDAOIZknvu3bWuBnIeBETrQRlWAIvgDAfuQJmIHmwLLZYcFHGX1t_CSDGa6pIy3DkL8ZdS65ned0z4ll3AUKoyORmGhN_QFrMNiKf0h-7924qDsshePLH3NgtFh9lm0KlHnVO5Apf6HIScLEHXeWEDVMem7EJryh6R20Ovn-gETeXgskj/w640-h480/IMG_7547.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">

History was massive - I did as much as I could in a day, including a couple
science shows. I was particularly impressed by their dinosaur collections. Who
doesn't like learning new dinosaur facts?! There was a beautiful but sad
exhibit on extinct and endangered insects - photographs blown up to wall size
that took around a month each to create. And a special sharks exhibit with more
shark facts to learn. The day rounded off with a Broadway show - MJ (Michael
Jackson) the Musical - with amazing dancing, singing, and music. The amount of
energy coming off the stage was palpable.<span class="apple-converted-space"> <br /><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcRc_U1LX3xOwXUOAT0vkyHiDj8iZv_AItO7BSJ6rl5z0bhH7_o36XCHtfYVBJCToH5ijEUzguVPZf_kgCcwQV0IStKaa_T6HZJbCYukmJKxE2ooWxhhYiSutmd6Yt7ktvpDBJxIaLJ1Pnnw_aP0Ipp1N-VFfY8Pfkj6MyT7feSa-c5hlB_x1SAiTn/s4032/IMG_7467.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcRc_U1LX3xOwXUOAT0vkyHiDj8iZv_AItO7BSJ6rl5z0bhH7_o36XCHtfYVBJCToH5ijEUzguVPZf_kgCcwQV0IStKaa_T6HZJbCYukmJKxE2ooWxhhYiSutmd6Yt7ktvpDBJxIaLJ1Pnnw_aP0Ipp1N-VFfY8Pfkj6MyT7feSa-c5hlB_x1SAiTn/w480-h640/IMG_7467.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">

discovered yummy Dole Whip soft serve (like at Disneyland). </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimwsAwyYXKX5otEs1qkqoLlTL5m0ZVFSluTX4HnG_GZqrffywQYIzmx_OTX84SoyNTVcjADBJsG-FeYclMyvkOqhETw8bV3mceYvsb1lDxWDky14s-eolhQ1Yv238UeWquJttcoqbGiDNWlIi5dVza2U30jT_nCjJRgU-Ru4mf8ijp8FQDoRtsg1JL/s4032/IMG_7345.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimwsAwyYXKX5otEs1qkqoLlTL5m0ZVFSluTX4HnG_GZqrffywQYIzmx_OTX84SoyNTVcjADBJsG-FeYclMyvkOqhETw8bV3mceYvsb1lDxWDky14s-eolhQ1Yv238UeWquJttcoqbGiDNWlIi5dVza2U30jT_nCjJRgU-Ru4mf8ijp8FQDoRtsg1JL/w640-h480/IMG_7345.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">

pop of color amid the bare trees. A very comfortable squirrel climbed my leg
outside of the Central Park Zoo - this experience was a trip highlight. The zoo had all
manner of cool creatures, including a snow leopard, red panda, and
exotic-looking birds. I learned how to take the subway by myself. Meeting up
with friends, we explored downtown and soaked up the atmosphere.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4lhrBTOsLi80xHil-TBy-M49UE_5UrzDtoLcIfQecFYv7iaI_QhloXpWX42GjDp7J-aBF_PS21jFKBC7qLUf1emYiX8PbXxhH1f0T2PMlivRDTkEOTDpm-ZK29dcDPypv5cmgIthKd46iS4EkAXO8Zc4HOEwuBlWhWuj_y2yIYz0sb1H_hMPqOfwk/w640-h480/IMG_7223.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="640" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">

And you might as well go big, so I embarked on a six-week adventure to three states back in the US. But before the obligatory family visits, I treated myself to a week in New York City on the new direct flight from Auckland (only around 15 hours!) and stayed with a friend and hung out with some of our group friends. Great decision and I'm so glad I managed solo travel in such a big city! I definitely missed traveling and new experiences and hope I can get back into them gradually.<br /></p><p>The Met Art Museum was my first stop, with free entry because one of my friends going with was a member. It was huge - the visit was really only a taster of what they have on exhibit, but it was nice to be able to be surrounded by beautiful art from all around the world and across time spans. Here are some things I saw:</p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBhGrWZ7EyZl78b7etg82Zr9ZZTTgj9FZz8nlmH992fLgEmBmdYPpO4W25O8M_g4SY2qk0421_5ohtkeu_gN9aHyK8wuKO_kdgjUMZA5ONZQpmyqg9cT8yWYWXX_vwEQm7nKufJuREHiMS__n16FJk_L6xFvC4sHUf6Nliv1MKc_yiqmrJiglXPKLB/s4032/IMG_7198.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

Since the New Zealand borders were finally opening up to certain countries, we ended up having our first US visitor for many years. We got a suitcase full of good stuff from the US - things you can't get here or get here affordably, like some first aid and medicines, boxed pasta and cheese, and shoes (US $75 vs. NZ $250!). And of course the amazing Pacific Cookie Company cookies:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0FL3ahdsMwapeJ_gI5PevQddtRsUR4q0Dke_bbOO5_Uw6vwfboQjN8RYvTDt_-TYz_1PIl9C9TTgg0US9jufcwxoWRK4B6ddE0F3Wv8n431RG1D3HrUlEXzo3DrkRO8gdXob_xq60jRDO5dXb3HQkCQICsiwIYrGYlXlLbD1B7wkGqwuaN-pyHGsI/s700/IMG_5839.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="525" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0FL3ahdsMwapeJ_gI5PevQddtRsUR4q0Dke_bbOO5_Uw6vwfboQjN8RYvTDt_-TYz_1PIl9C9TTgg0US9jufcwxoWRK4B6ddE0F3Wv8n431RG1D3HrUlEXzo3DrkRO8gdXob_xq60jRDO5dXb3HQkCQICsiwIYrGYlXlLbD1B7wkGqwuaN-pyHGsI/s320/IMG_5839.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p>First was a trip to the zoo, where there were some different things, such as the red panda getting weighed and being a little stinker about coming over to the keeper.

We've seen a lot of New Zealand, but we hadn't seen this before and it reminded me of some of the country's best features (getting away from the infrastructure problems plaguing Auckland...).

It's not that we accept that things should be like they are, especially when they're harmful to humans, but you get used to things being a certain way. I felt so behind when I had to ask what 'Ring' was - apparently wireless home security has advanced quite a bit since I left and lots of people have these systems where they can access cameras and even talk through them to watch their houses for deliveries or intruders. Meanwhile, NZ is still struggling to get double-pane windows and decent heating and cooling systems. It's sometimes hard to adapt to living less comfortably here when you're used to a certain standard coming from the US. That said, the enormous toll to gun violence and other issues remind us why we won't be moving back anytime soon.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnL3_9Ki7TwShKsDVV8P1Hz3bkYJT2rsArfSo-dd6RQD6Q-hKdEFhCFpRz71hIjgFPQDBa3c_0hs1dZw6kLhCR1JnIya_sdvdPwxBGWa_Q4uejvaxaV9kNKSAAM7Pzgh3tibOXHzyynv-isD4aU9d9FMRtWiQAdLD85CTIjCO7W78nXT0aEofwrRdB/s700/IMG_5844.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnL3_9Ki7TwShKsDVV8P1Hz3bkYJT2rsArfSo-dd6RQD6Q-hKdEFhCFpRz71hIjgFPQDBa3c_0hs1dZw6kLhCR1JnIya_sdvdPwxBGWa_Q4uejvaxaV9kNKSAAM7Pzgh3tibOXHzyynv-isD4aU9d9FMRtWiQAdLD85CTIjCO7W78nXT0aEofwrRdB/w400-h300/IMG_5844.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445064980879385172.post-7724812234934574482021-06-04T20:45:00.000+12:002021-06-04T20:45:41.896+12:00Trip to Taranaki<p>One of the last big areas we hadn't been to in New Zealand was Taranaki, known for its dairy industry, oil and gas deposits, and the iconic and majestic volcano named Mount Taranaki. So we picked that as the destination for the long Easter weekend and decided to bring our cat along since we haven't found a cattery up in Auckland yet and don't know anyone else who would be in town for the holiday and would be trustworthy enough to watch him with all of his quirks and erratic behavior. He's not just a regular sleep all the time boring cat. Thankfully there was a pet-friendly Airbnb near the location we wanted to visit.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUlBwq0693T8MOswsI6-pHbGGLVKlU2b0wMBdJwNLt3u1C-JDVer4JQz8JNLIfY1t2XI2XeABt90xpmpmgiVDBtWOKknH_dO6hafQ1Bxq8g1ds_qAZUPwzGTF9bZquz7ovgDRll0Nmbag/s760/taranaki.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="739" data-original-width="760" height="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUlBwq0693T8MOswsI6-pHbGGLVKlU2b0wMBdJwNLt3u1C-JDVer4JQz8JNLIfY1t2XI2XeABt90xpmpmgiVDBtWOKknH_dO6hafQ1Bxq8g1ds_qAZUPwzGTF9bZquz7ovgDRll0Nmbag/w640-h622/taranaki.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p></p><p>Joining the other large percentage of people leaving Auckland for the 4- or 5-day weekend (depending on whether one's work gives Easter Tuesday off), we hit about an hour's delay south of the city where the lanes merge, and some various breaks (including a stop at the Taco Bell out at a truck stop near Drury) turned it into a seven-hour drive to Taranaki.

The next morning, we headed to Mount Egmont National Park (Mount Egmont is the British name for Mount Taranaki) for a hike since we wanted to take advantage of the lack of rain (since it's on the west coast, it gets a lot of rain). The loop track was mostly straight uphill with lots of stairs, with a lookout area at the top part. One of the stark contrasts is where the farmland ends and the park begins - suddenly it becomes forest-y and dense after miles of pastures with animals.<p></p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFBCBfrcku-r5TNVXEvOHXj41EeosuexV-AdB1RNHZxo_DJ1k7buGvB0f0FYUQRvqYdjQxIVF6emvsz1PZVHToQCX-ittDInfH3Z216IoOrksejYeC1J_Sia1fmUSFMuuxUjFpdSZOC84/s700/P4020393.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFBCBfrcku-r5TNVXEvOHXj41EeosuexV-AdB1RNHZxo_DJ1k7buGvB0f0FYUQRvqYdjQxIVF6emvsz1PZVHToQCX-ittDInfH3Z216IoOrksejYeC1J_Sia1fmUSFMuuxUjFpdSZOC84/w640-h480/P4020393.JPG" title="Mountain-top is shrouded in cloud" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mountain-top is shrouded in clouds<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAyEOQWIwoYQuRwAcqlL0wTda8z2KX3gTmSgCSDWCaGWlKauBSH63Mib36ouLHprsmqis1CAWlxdhQvbffzR_g0oLJ80YGQhv451SWERgYMsnVOHxAbye_io9Zoa-8ZqomKyUsGgvmBkE/s700/P4020390.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAyEOQWIwoYQuRwAcqlL0wTda8z2KX3gTmSgCSDWCaGWlKauBSH63Mib36ouLHprsmqis1CAWlxdhQvbffzR_g0oLJ80YGQhv451SWERgYMsnVOHxAbye_io9Zoa-8ZqomKyUsGgvmBkE/w640-h480/P4020390.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">View from the lookout area<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTPEISPqs1hgn6ZgoApdPgE8Quf59Jt9iAbw38OGJ2TssID_VTQZBw1kqIIenYR8AGz2R7aB7HoJxu_bsp6JhmVxNCJzAzr_xgHaEra8Bs8anTqsUcpP1SeN6U8wrCUtAq2oHAwAufy7c/s700/P4020391.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTPEISPqs1hgn6ZgoApdPgE8Quf59Jt9iAbw38OGJ2TssID_VTQZBw1kqIIenYR8AGz2R7aB7HoJxu_bsp6JhmVxNCJzAzr_xgHaEra8Bs8anTqsUcpP1SeN6U8wrCUtAq2oHAwAufy7c/w640-h480/P4020391.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Another view from the lookout area - the white buildings are the visitor center area, where we started<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br />I noticed some unique-looking fungi or some type of strange gelatinous plant on the hike down and stopped for some photos.

The one pheasant had a type of feather shield, over which it peaked one eye - very strange but fun to look at! </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46Toj08xScbQKAo0gknvuCHRWTihHAcUp7ZGbUA18ix8fFV-UlztB9YPRKn4TiQF_U_EAZjL4T-o0f4-c_fL7MouCV4k2Td2DDEymHrE2o0DvhhUNBIskHBH88MobS3sLOTDEOdlmEPg/s700/P4030412.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46Toj08xScbQKAo0gknvuCHRWTihHAcUp7ZGbUA18ix8fFV-UlztB9YPRKn4TiQF_U_EAZjL4T-o0f4-c_fL7MouCV4k2Td2DDEymHrE2o0DvhhUNBIskHBH88MobS3sLOTDEOdlmEPg/w640-h480/P4030412.JPG" width="640" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46Toj08xScbQKAo0gknvuCHRWTihHAcUp7ZGbUA18ix8fFV-UlztB9YPRKn4TiQF_U_EAZjL4T-o0f4-c_fL7MouCV4k2Td2DDEymHrE2o0DvhhUNBIskHBH88MobS3sLOTDEOdlmEPg/s700/P4030412.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYcNz601zI0fgjNoyN34cwHIFB2SxKn6I6-zTL6Hp7sb3u5YuD545pDC8eF-IdVxQEqrsBWG9MznlsEWUMy3CmsxjTWaBURufy1h1McsDyDlluYI811lqLaOMcZc88IViO7Yj0UH_6PGc/s700/P4030423.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYcNz601zI0fgjNoyN34cwHIFB2SxKn6I6-zTL6Hp7sb3u5YuD545pDC8eF-IdVxQEqrsBWG9MznlsEWUMy3CmsxjTWaBURufy1h1McsDyDlluYI811lqLaOMcZc88IViO7Yj0UH_6PGc/w640-h480/P4030423.JPG" width="640" /></a></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzruzJAVlFjkNPA0s5w_5SPPe6DJiVHlXr8035E6QYAr1RbvBFR8kA5ZBYF8goiopT2pyaMK5laMb5MVlp1k_WUuXQFFcoYOErvQRv9dLfknvPfwuw7cmDFJ_9e3ihP6URipqCr8-sg3g/s700/P4030421.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzruzJAVlFjkNPA0s5w_5SPPe6DJiVHlXr8035E6QYAr1RbvBFR8kA5ZBYF8goiopT2pyaMK5laMb5MVlp1k_WUuXQFFcoYOErvQRv9dLfknvPfwuw7cmDFJ_9e3ihP6URipqCr8-sg3g/w640-h480/P4030421.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix-p2LL45nIE9GC-qrh_VA8hlWTogsen8KT4-4xxk1Pj_POxgWCvzFBj7caN_OyfTX_krAug0svcCoUDhxAoOQquO851aVuakKso5tMTMyXNTiPCfPSBiela5HHkiad49RresPPPMSeJg/s700/P4030424.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix-p2LL45nIE9GC-qrh_VA8hlWTogsen8KT4-4xxk1Pj_POxgWCvzFBj7caN_OyfTX_krAug0svcCoUDhxAoOQquO851aVuakKso5tMTMyXNTiPCfPSBiela5HHkiad49RresPPPMSeJg/w640-h480/P4030424.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvbz57v7IuAAcRdqf3LlBg55F8SHVFn3Z1MGGTsikATEMH82WxnJ4HaK5qXfCm6Iq4hr6autrrjr7OBGB_I99-bL4Oa0zsQqNScZGe7Rq1D6XNl2sXvOmmCqV_n51ABjoqTxyrojSQ3wo/s700/P4030429.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvbz57v7IuAAcRdqf3LlBg55F8SHVFn3Z1MGGTsikATEMH82WxnJ4HaK5qXfCm6Iq4hr6autrrjr7OBGB_I99-bL4Oa0zsQqNScZGe7Rq1D6XNl2sXvOmmCqV_n51ABjoqTxyrojSQ3wo/w640-h480/P4030429.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> <p></p><p>We then ventured about an hour's drive south to the South Taranaki region near Hawera for the popular and praised Tawhiti Museum. It is a private museum developed by an ex-art teacher, Nigel Ogle, with a love for history, and it covers a large area being housed in a former cheese factory. He has created many dioramas of Taranaki history, many of them based on photographs or artworks from the settler times, as well as life-size models (using casts of real people he knows). It is an impressive collection and does help bring what could be dry historical facts to life. There is a high amount of detail in the dioramas - cats and water swirls and body movements that add to the life-like quality. We went on the train ride and it was a fun experience - something about trains... </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAgbM6FHceXTmteIYRFLGswkYoWdVSP6AeTWcVCRZGglTki-O3GyF9nNn4u4GgQL8UysoFxiqfnKtV66AagmusJDAB19zfT7KMSxbSK-kd3mXoqQUQEvT8tJXYFz5_PP01nxU58M_JnfE/s700/IMG_4232.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAgbM6FHceXTmteIYRFLGswkYoWdVSP6AeTWcVCRZGglTki-O3GyF9nNn4u4GgQL8UysoFxiqfnKtV66AagmusJDAB19zfT7KMSxbSK-kd3mXoqQUQEvT8tJXYFz5_PP01nxU58M_JnfE/w640-h480/IMG_4232.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrm4PDUhdV9cUrwMN3pegHqegUkHE0fABq8J1bautrt5EVen91Rqlowl_LoyOBH8qOPJYEaCdD28xdy1NhvAKlV86tvFaaxzravzb2H-WHqchHUPRLtOvrmuZVNDaQXs3gQdJ11wmG7v4/s700/IMG_4231.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrm4PDUhdV9cUrwMN3pegHqegUkHE0fABq8J1bautrt5EVen91Rqlowl_LoyOBH8qOPJYEaCdD28xdy1NhvAKlV86tvFaaxzravzb2H-WHqchHUPRLtOvrmuZVNDaQXs3gQdJ11wmG7v4/w640-h480/IMG_4231.JPG" width="640" /></a></div></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidKkKEtMVeDAHRiHwKmkO77kEaRUXz3sKKzI5k3wP-GOn0dx1O_VrOG75lU16I8pvMttLuRutzpGth-jEQxpg-z4XAPQGRSI-Yuiin4qMjSEhGvmoqHxlk8gUumrs37V4QPosnktsIrl4/s700/IMG_4230.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidKkKEtMVeDAHRiHwKmkO77kEaRUXz3sKKzI5k3wP-GOn0dx1O_VrOG75lU16I8pvMttLuRutzpGth-jEQxpg-z4XAPQGRSI-Yuiin4qMjSEhGvmoqHxlk8gUumrs37V4QPosnktsIrl4/w640-h480/IMG_4230.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjT7mfnGwZ0l_Cu3HQYluwe-hKra_CZidSrf7gcmd8DbmGvfIiMflvZ7A3NWlGKEaOSTo0nFMK8SR9k6F79xpJimqNQfMqJ7GXf4CMpuDNK5unYvHPxVjyDuBeIXWZV7Lac6Hb1oSnIQo/s700/IMG_4224.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjT7mfnGwZ0l_Cu3HQYluwe-hKra_CZidSrf7gcmd8DbmGvfIiMflvZ7A3NWlGKEaOSTo0nFMK8SR9k6F79xpJimqNQfMqJ7GXf4CMpuDNK5unYvHPxVjyDuBeIXWZV7Lac6Hb1oSnIQo/w640-h480/IMG_4224.JPG" width="640" /></a> </p><p>Otherwise, we tried some new ice cream food items. The new Pineapple Lumps ice cream bar based on the famous New Zealand Pineapple Lumps candies was surprisingly good. It reminded us of the Dole Pineapple Whip in Disneyland. The Ben and Jerry's ice cream bar was more subdued. The tub of Magnum Luxe Gold Caramelised Chocolate was rich and delicious. It actually has a press to break area on the right side where you break the 'crackign caramelised chocolate shell' before digging in. It tasted of Teddy Grahams from the U.S. so also brought back memories.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlPlvjttWbM5VwKxUu1tmzUyZOfupkJSwNqX77FuOe12nO5jfso8mE6aZXPQuQUGM25W_GNLzICUTIb6_KdFClcZF1HYRiuTZeu9ngi7VBJI5BwNaK1muSBFM2zXGzUoyT6oZSP5pAxn0/s700/IMG_4243.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlPlvjttWbM5VwKxUu1tmzUyZOfupkJSwNqX77FuOe12nO5jfso8mE6aZXPQuQUGM25W_GNLzICUTIb6_KdFClcZF1HYRiuTZeu9ngi7VBJI5BwNaK1muSBFM2zXGzUoyT6oZSP5pAxn0/w640-h480/IMG_4243.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>For dinner, we ate at an American-style diner called Deluxe Diner in New Plymouth. Unfortunately, their ice cream machine has been broken for weeks, and we didn't realize they don't actually have all-day breakfast, only until 4pm, but we managed, and the silver lining was that we instead opted to try their pumpkin pie and it was really good. It was homemade and warm and soft with a thick caramel drizzle around the plate good for swirling the pie in before eating a bite. I have rarely if ever seen pumpkin pie served in NZ, and they actually nailed their own take on it. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnNpeQ8xs54Zulot9oqs4cgAFlIvmk0C8JNn7l6QtI8QRWvTs231mdd4hbgn-EJtzs7NU_5EqSQrjpEDt3VIf6PF8E2SpgHiosPdio2IjqbfhyQ1gp2gTSBPPRc0-rvptf9VIlcWkoMZ0/s700/IMG_4242.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnNpeQ8xs54Zulot9oqs4cgAFlIvmk0C8JNn7l6QtI8QRWvTs231mdd4hbgn-EJtzs7NU_5EqSQrjpEDt3VIf6PF8E2SpgHiosPdio2IjqbfhyQ1gp2gTSBPPRc0-rvptf9VIlcWkoMZ0/w640-h480/IMG_4242.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>It's possible we stopped at the Taco Bell near Drury again on the way back for a snack...

experience in downtown Auckland and see some behind-the-scenes views of how they

For all of its issues, New Zealand turns out to have been quite a good place to move to a few years back. I had no idea how all of the world politics would play out back then of course, but it's made the decision about whether to stay or go back to the US after studying fairly easy. Now that I have secure employment, there's really not much to go back for anyway. Building up networks takes time, and the idea of having to do that yet again in a place where I'd just be another American doesn't sound very appealing. Four weeks of paid vacation, two weeks of paid sick time, and plentiful paid public holidays, along with free public healthcare really take the stress levels down compared to the U.S. Things can always change of course, but for now, I'll enjoy the relaxed lifestyle, ten-minute walk to the beach, and freedom of movement due to NZ's elimination strategy for Covid.</p><p>So what have I been up to since the lockdown period that ended in May 2020? </p><p>We got kicked out of our flat because the landlord sold the building, and having the constant string of open houses and viewings was a real pain. But it turned out to be a good thing because that place was damp and full of mold and didn't have a proper kitchen. And when I pulled out stuff from the storage area under the house, there was even more mold so we had to do a lot of extra cleaning just to be able to pack stuff. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NoA-iNPbveiGC5S9whyIlU3noPYZBSiRCwjkdMlbfY-pf35-wXkg4BFRSapfVMXhfq6i5os451tX1Rbu-iEI5UB8fi_K8yequt9xErfJb5MKMpO5MZIDPw6e26aEecMeOxldPHx4nco/s700/IMG_3502.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NoA-iNPbveiGC5S9whyIlU3noPYZBSiRCwjkdMlbfY-pf35-wXkg4BFRSapfVMXhfq6i5os451tX1Rbu-iEI5UB8fi_K8yequt9xErfJb5MKMpO5MZIDPw6e26aEecMeOxldPHx4nco/w400-h300/IMG_3502.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMzaPUWalxHoqa5lcghM9p6yLMPmvqrQKbPG_RdhiscxyHjZsz-tv1lcriPMkJKfI5ZPhPONuSWhd_RT4uuHfc-DiLwdEUbBf_WMn2Af0OHAwRva2TYLxXQYPxG6j0SFYZJzklF96vRts/s700/IMG_3512.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="525" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMzaPUWalxHoqa5lcghM9p6yLMPmvqrQKbPG_RdhiscxyHjZsz-tv1lcriPMkJKfI5ZPhPONuSWhd_RT4uuHfc-DiLwdEUbBf_WMn2Af0OHAwRva2TYLxXQYPxG6j0SFYZJzklF96vRts/w300-h400/IMG_3512.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvTGHKzo3dSz8Tc_T9ZH-NueQ82ll9hawbmPv4J8y24siq_NPrZDQ4yDOFkfLxv8AIwRmeAfnwLPWmrL1YR3goDXsfNAgpj2vsSYX3lwi0U4AAk3XGOyn0Nk22cQ0i8sAV88FZhTRj6Es/s700/IMG_3503.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvTGHKzo3dSz8Tc_T9ZH-NueQ82ll9hawbmPv4J8y24siq_NPrZDQ4yDOFkfLxv8AIwRmeAfnwLPWmrL1YR3goDXsfNAgpj2vsSYX3lwi0U4AAk3XGOyn0Nk22cQ0i8sAV88FZhTRj6Es/w400-h300/IMG_3503.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This area next to the fridge was hiding lots of gross mold.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br />After the inevitably exhausting move itself, we've settled into the new place which feels like a real house and has a heatpump/AC in the living room plus two screen doors on either end so we can get more fresh air and be more comfortable. Unfortunately, the landlords here weren't very exacting with the cleanliness when the previous tenants moved out, so I also had to clean up a bunch of mold on the door and window frames at the new place. I was really tired of cleaning for that month because it felt like it was endless. But otherwise this place is pretty good. It's also a quick walk to the beach. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe-Ox6r-Cifc7elXAsqa-FfXm82Dgkxhwgz2Nq5mLxj_EjIW7YNh2O1Xrudoggip_u5EH3U-6b7_BvqLCNxNGrLGRQVvrKTg0TycEp_9xkbbu2_eFrDkcGiXjHnRm4vCnqLe5v9-HD2qE/s700/IMG_3546.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe-Ox6r-Cifc7elXAsqa-FfXm82Dgkxhwgz2Nq5mLxj_EjIW7YNh2O1Xrudoggip_u5EH3U-6b7_BvqLCNxNGrLGRQVvrKTg0TycEp_9xkbbu2_eFrDkcGiXjHnRm4vCnqLe5v9-HD2qE/w400-h300/IMG_3546.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieeVn9sF-BJvuU53BJJ-zUfLCzglkhZsCEv9dt-Yiiswf_DVzXLodSoJ-mye3WEmMa0GswD8GxNQNSx-dgGqlbBDzITZx6I8JdeGgVC_ZTdFvgAHFb98TlDwqPKlVhAIVnmCjR10UrDes/s700/IMG_3643.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieeVn9sF-BJvuU53BJJ-zUfLCzglkhZsCEv9dt-Yiiswf_DVzXLodSoJ-mye3WEmMa0GswD8GxNQNSx-dgGqlbBDzITZx6I8JdeGgVC_ZTdFvgAHFb98TlDwqPKlVhAIVnmCjR10UrDes/w400-h300/IMG_3643.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpojn-ke4j5RNKybS31znDsYUTk9wcNKYVR_PpR_9RcAP8YC1k6WYQOUYLPXrC7bRZYLLRIiKsOAD_C9Eh9s1JwOeGSi1tqFY458gpVyxgeABxBhMaKkJqoNf0NuE_nyo_ty69FdM32U4/s700/IMG_3613.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpojn-ke4j5RNKybS31znDsYUTk9wcNKYVR_PpR_9RcAP8YC1k6WYQOUYLPXrC7bRZYLLRIiKsOAD_C9Eh9s1JwOeGSi1tqFY458gpVyxgeABxBhMaKkJqoNf0NuE_nyo_ty69FdM32U4/w400-h300/IMG_3613.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>Our cat adjusted quickly and has claimed sleeping spots pretty much anywhere available.

I know they don't have these silly traditions elsewhere, but it's still astounding people can live for decades without having experienced things that I did/do every year! There was still trick-or-treating, although apparently we don't live in one of the neighborhoods that has a lot of kids doing it. We got about five or six groups of kids and almost all of them were in costumes. And we had mini Tootsie roll pops from the international section of one of the grocery stores to give out, so I suspect they were in for a surprise when they got to the center of those!

I feel very fortunate to be relatively safe in New Zealand - being an island nation certainly has its benefits - though I worry about those whose fates rest in the hands of less capable governments. New Zealand's approach was to go hard, go early, and it closed its borders and began quarantining all arrivals for two weeks, which helped stay on top of things, although it wasn't soon enough to prevent multiple clusters of outbreaks. It got into two rest homes, so most of the 21 deaths have been in these vulnerable populations.<br />
<br />
It has been strange to have the rest of the world experience some of the isolation and working from home that I was already doing upon arrival to a new city. The lockdown has meant that I can't go to local libraries to work, but otherwise not much has changed except for the anxiety of everything going on around me. I have been reading the news more than usual, and watching the press briefings when they announce changes to the alert levels.<br />
<br />
I have experienced a city with millions of people grind to a halt, and the empty roads and storefronts have been eerie. It's one thing to see it in the apocalypse movies; another entirely to have the silence of the usual hustle and bustle. More people have been experiencing their local parks and neighborhoods, though, and appreciating the natural world. Hopefully some of these bright sides continue.<br />

We have seen how dependent people here are on restaurants making their food for them. Unlike in other countries, all restaurants including take-out were closed here for five weeks. There was panic-buying at grocery stores, and shelves have been clear of flour most of the time. People who didn't know how to cook and/or were reliant on Uber Eats hand-delivering their meals to them had to figure something out. I'm curious what they did. I suspect many women were relegated (even more) to traditional roles of cooking and cleaning for others. It wasn't that long ago that people didn't go out to eat all that much, and certainly didn't buy one or more coffees on a daily basis, so we don't need all of these restaurants and cafes for actual survival, but the convenience factor for those with money seems to have been too tempting. It is predicted that many restaurants will close permanently - some already have - because they can't pay staff and don't expect business to resume to previous levels. But they were already operating on very thin margins, so this isn't unexpected.<br />

The country moves to alert level 2 in one day, which will allow most businesses to resume but with distancing and safety measures in place. Bars are going to be the last to open since they are high-risk areas and designed to bring strangers together. I am conflicted about the 'return to normality' - in one sense, it has been nice to feel no pressure to socialize or go outside of my bubble, no pressure to work on projects because everything this year has been thrown out the window. But in another sense, continuing to be isolated and watching people suffer because they didn't plan for a crisis (and many couldn't, especially migrants in precarious labor) isn't sustainable long term. The hope is that New Zealand doesn't have to move back up the levels into full lockdown if it can stamp out the virus and quarantine any new cases in Kiwis who return home (borders are still shut). Then domestic affairs can resume more normally, and hopefully we can all continue to participate in conversations about how to rebuild the country in a more sustainable and equitable way. It's refreshing to see these are the kinds of topics in the news here; it gives a sense of hope that is lacking elsewhere.<br />

In house news, we have been experiencing ant infestations and crickets. These worsen when it rains. The ants were almost under control, but now there are single ants wandering around places they didn't used to go, like the couch and doors. It's not clear if they are part of other clusters. As for the crickets, they are bigger and darker than what I'm used to. They also really like to chirp. They have been sitting in the wall in the living room and starting up in the evening, or under the cabinets in the kitchen. Sometimes they crawl across the floor, but they are so fast sometimes we lose them and then hope that the cat points them out to us. We had almost no insect issues in Christchurch, so this is one downside of living in a milder climate. There have been a few tiny roaches, but nothing major yet thankfully. <br />

This is the annual holiday on February 6th that commemorates the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi / Te Tiriti o Waitangi, which is considered the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand. This year was the 180th anniversary, so it was extra special. There were people who had traveled from around the world to be there, as well as a new museum that was opened the day before when the politicians usually come up. (The <a href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/119309906/jacinda-ardern-takes-to-a-waka-ahead-of-waitangi-day" target="_blank">Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern</a> was granted the very special experience of going out on a waka that day, too.) Each year, there is an all-day Waitangi Festival on the Treaty Grounds and the buildings are closed, so this meant we waited to visit them until the following day.<div>

I didn't know what to expect - the website was vague on what things would be happening. When we arrived, there were all of these waka (canoes) out on the water, with people paddling and chanting. That was really cool and unique to get to see. The biggest one was the waka taua (war canoe), which takes at least 175 men to operate and has its own special house on the Treaty Grounds. There were some waka with all-female crews, too, and quite a few youth out there. I thought it must make them so proud to be able to participate in an event like this that is positive and celebratory of their culture. All too often that is not the case in New Zealand. Eventually, all of the waka made their way over to the shore and there were more ceremonial activities - all in te reo Māori. </div>

We headed over to the main Treaty Grounds where there were lots of stalls with food, drinks, art, jewelry, and other stuff to buy. We saw some cultural performances - dancing and singing - and tried to keep out of the sun since it was quite hot out. My main critique was there weren't enough bathrooms and the ones that were there were placed quite far away and were hard to find. I also thought it was a missed opportunity to have something about the Treaty and the history for people to check out (since the museum was closed for the day). I know it's contentious, but at least some posters or a pop-up thing with general information would have been nice, since there were so many people with time to learn something. </div>

Waitangi Treaty Grounds Tour</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next day, we had the guided tour of the Treaty Grounds and a short cultural performance, and then were able to go through the two museums and the marae. I wasn't sure how much I would learn since I already know a bit about the history, but I was pleasantly surprised at learning some new things, especially about some of the key figures involved. I have to say, going through the museum can make you mad at the British colonial enterprise and what they did to indigenous populations pretty much wherever they went. </div>

Russell used to be a lawless town full of scoundrels (think Tortuga from <i>Pirates of the Caribbean</i> or Mos Eisley from <i>Star Wars</i>) and was known as the "Hell Hole of the Pacific". This was one of the reasons why local Māori wanted the British Empire to exert some control over their people and other traders in the area. Well, that backfired... Also, its original name was Kororareka, which means sweet blue penguin, which is a lot nicer than Russell. Anyway, it later turned into a holiday spot and tourist area, so it's quite a shift since the mid-1800s. It's directly across an inlet of water from Waitangi, so you can see the flagpole on the Treaty Grounds from the shore. </div>

We went to the Russell Museum, a small locally-run museum whose main display is a replica of Captain James Cook's ship <i>Endeavor</i>. It could use a refresh and some of the info was repetition from what we'd seen the previous day, but we like to support local museums. We walked by New Zealand's oldest church, Christ Church, and the Pompallier Mission, then it was time to head back to Auckland.<br />

<br />
Since we were transporting our cat and didn't want to do an extensive amount of driving each day, we took three days for the trip. This enabled us to stay overnight at two places and let him out of his cage and let us rest. Except for some traffic on the North Island, the trip went smoothly and all of our stuff made it there.<br />
<br />
Actual costs for three-day move: <br />$1,548 (excluding cargo equipment)<br />$1,918 (with cargo equipment, which hopefully can be reused in future)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Fuel</b>: $343<br />
<ul>
<li>First full tank fill-up @ $2.079/liter: $102</li>
<li>Partial fill-up in <span style="background-color: white;">Kaikoura (no receipt)</span>: $71 </li>
<li>Partial fill-up out of Wellington @ $2.389/liter: $62</li>
<li>Second full tank fill-up in Taupo @ $2.159/liter: $108 </li>
</ul>
A full tank fill-up is about 13.5 gallons (51 liters) and the car is pretty new so it gets good mileage; however, the trailer and weight definitely reduced the usual fuel efficiency. There was about 150km left to go when we arrived in Auckland according to the car's estimate after the trailer was removed, so that needs to be accounted for when looking at the total fuel cost.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Luggage Trailer</b>: $467<br />
<ul>
<li>cost is made up of 3 days at $39/day which is comparable to other companies, plus $20/day for $0 damage excess, plus one-way fee (this was supposed to be around $500 but I got them to lower it for me) </li>
<li>$100 deposit is required at time of booking</li>
</ul>
<br />
Note that rentals book up fast - many places I called didn't have anything
available - so as soon as you know your moving dates, see what's
available. <a href="https://www.hirecar.co.nz/" target="_blank">U Save</a> was the only place that would let me hire a luggage trailer one-way. Otherwise, the only option was one of the bigger furniture trailers, and I knew we didn't need that much space since we weren't taking furniture or big stuff. I mistakenly thought that I would be able to have some visibility out the car's rearview mirror with the smaller trailer, so on reflection, I might have gone with the single-axle furniture trailer to save the headache of trying to cram everything in such a small space. However, the luggage trailer handled pretty well when full and didn't feel overwhelming to haul for three days, and it fit almost everything I needed it to and forced me to consolidate stuff before moving.<br />
<br />
<b>Ferry (Picton to Wellington)</b>: $464<br />
<ul>
<li>included two adults, one car, and one trailer at a student flexi rate, which seems to be 5% off the usual rate, via <a href="https://www.bluebridge.co.nz/" target="_blank">Bluebridge</a></li>
</ul>
The ferry also books up fast, since there are a limited number of sailings each day, and we wanted one that left at a reasonable hour in the morning. This and the trailer hire are the most limiting of your options for the move.<br />
<br />
<b>Accommodation (2 nights)</b>: $274<br />
<ul>
<li>one night in Picton at <a href="https://aldanlodge.co.nz/picton-motel-accommodation/motel-facilities/" target="_blank">Aldan Lodge Motel</a> (pet-friendly, good customer service, and nice roomy place to stay; it has off-street parking, but there were only a couple spots that could take trailers, and it took us a while to back up into one of them - recommend asking in advance to secure one of these) </li>
<li>one night in Turangi at <a href="https://turangibridgemotel.co.nz/" target="_blank">Turangi Bridge Motel</a> (pet-friendly and decent room; but the parking spots are not long enough for trailers, and one section that could have worked had a big truck and disconnected trailer already taking up the space; we ended up having to work another situation out on the lawn which you're not supposed to do but given that we had stuff roped to the top, I didn't want to leave it out in front of the motel overnight)</li>
</ul>
<b>Cargo Equipment</b>: $370<b><br /></b><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="background-color: white;">1 set of crossbars: $120 + $30 shipping, on Amazon U.S.</span></span></li>
<li>1 roof rack: $109 + $70 shipping, on TradeMe</li>
<li>2 ropes: $7.50 (with buy 1 get 1 50% off deal)</li>
<li>2 cargo nets: $18 (with buy 1 get 1 50% off deal)</li>
<li>2 2-pack of ratchet tiedown straps: $15 (with buy 1 get 1 50% off deal)</li>

We also visited Zealandia, the predator-free wildlife preserve that has lots of native birds and other wildlife and that is probably my favorite spot in Wellington. It rained on us for the first third of the hike around, but after that it cleared up and was a pleasant experience. We found weta in some of the 'weta hotels', a big tuatara lizard, takahe, cormorants (shags), and other birds which don't photograph well since they're so skittish and I've already taken so many photos of them that I didn't feel I needed more.<br />

Back in Christchurch, I ate out a lot as I met up with people to say goodbye. I also did some baking to use up American ingredients and since there were some holiday parties that I had an excuse to make stuff for. One of my mature students gave me a lovely bouquet of flowers - the first I've gotten as a tutor - and it was so special and a much-needed reminder that there are always a few who are worth all the effort of teaching. I will miss the relationships that you can really only have as a teacher coming into contact with so many new and diverse people in the classroom, but I won't miss all of the downsides. There are always other opportunities for education outside of the traditional bureaucracy though.<br />

I went on a visit with a friend to the Canterbury Museum. I have to say, their 'Squawkzilla' exhibit wasn't that great. The main attraction didn't even have good signage or explanations - a missed opportunity. There was a find-the-Santa game for kids though that was entertaining.<br />

I had a good dual Christmas - made a full Christmas lunch for two new American friends traveling through the city, and then helped prepare Christmas dinner for my friend and her American relatives visiting for the holidays at their AirBnb place overlooking the estuary and ocean. It was a beautiful location and we had fun eating and talking and playing some card games.<br />

Then the next day, Boxing Day, it was time for the big move up to Auckland, the biggest city in New Zealand, where my partner landed a good job earlier this year. It's a chance for a fresh start for the new year for me and the opportunity to take a break from the rat race and work on my entrepreneurial ideas and book writing. That's the plan anyway. It was a very stressful day loading everything up (I had already spent hours packing and organizing everything to fit in the small trailer we rented based on the measurements I had for it), but we managed to fit almost everything in except my bike and office chair, and we headed out of the city at 3pm. Loading a vehicle is a great relationship test, I think, as it is high-stress conditions with a time limit and your nerves can become frayed very quickly as you get exhausted and struggle to Tetris your stuff into a confined area. The next day, we took the ferry from Picton to Wellington with our cat, and it was thankfully a very smooth and uneventful journey. We hit bad holiday traffic out of Wellington which delayed us several hours, but otherwise the trip went alright. I was so glad to have holiday leftovers to eat for dinner for the following week.<br />

<br />
Our new place is located in what is known as the North Shore area of Auckland. To get to it from the central city [where the word Auckland is on the map below], you have to cross the Harbor Bridge [located just above the 'c' in the word Auckland] (or go the long way around on another route) or take a ferry from Devonport [which is on the peninsula at the bottom right corner of the highlighted section]. As North Shore has grown, the Harbor Bridge has gotten more crowded, so they have had to add more lanes in the past few decades.<br />

<br />
The main differences from Christchurch that I know about thus far are:<br />
<ul>
<li>more crowded: Christchurch has a population of around 350,000, while Auckland has over 1.6 million people</li>
<li>warmer but more humid: Auckland is situated at a higher latitude, but is also surrounded by water and on a narrower strip of land, so it can feel tropical (I've only been here a short time, but it has felt like Hawaii on several days)</li>
<li>more expensive: It is one of the most expensive cities in terms of rent prices and housing prices. The median house price is $885,000, which is way out of range for first-time buyers. Our place is a third the size of the original house we rented in Christchurch and doesn't have a real kitchen. It just has a space between the bathroom and living room with a fridge, some counter space, and a small sink with a toaster oven, microwave, and hot plate burner. It's not ideal for food preparation, but it's doable for now. Grocery store prices seem to be a little more but not terribly so, and gas prices are about 20 cents higher, based on what we saw on the road trip up here.</li>
</ul>
<br />
The upside is that there is a lot more to do, and it's a part of the country we haven't explored much, so there's a whole new backyard to check out. Northlands (north past Auckland) is a place we've heard a lot about and want to check out soon.<br />
<br />
On our first full day here, we couldn't help but check out the newly-opened Taco Bell. I actually hadn't ever tried a gordita in the U.S. but it was good here and had that Taco Bell taste. I normally get crunchy tacos, but the one here had some kind of smoked flavor and didn't taste as similar, so I wouldn't get it again. The frozen margarita machine wasn't warmed up yet when we went so they weren't selling those, but it was a fun experience and I'd go back. They only have mild and fiery hot sauce though, no hot, which is what I like. I had the last slice of my yummy pumpkin cheesecake and that was the end of the holiday food and eating out times.<br />

We rang in the New Year at a little park overlooking downtown, where they shot off fireworks from a few different locations.<br />

the North Shore. You can see part of Rangitoto Island on the left, the
skyscrapers of Takapuna in the middle-left, and the skyscrapers of
downtown Auckland on the right. <br />

Here's to a good year and interesting experiences in a new city, and new places to blog about!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445064980879385172.post-80056230422726596762019-11-08T21:45:00.003+13:002019-11-08T21:45:43.764+13:00Previewing Auckand, Kawau IslandChange is afoot, and I will soon be moving to Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand (but not the capital - that's Wellington). Lots of people in Christchurch complain about Auckland being too big and crowded, and the traffic being bad, but relative to California traffic, it's really nothing, and the big size means it has a lot of stuff to do, most of the touring concerts and things only go there, etc. Auckland has around 1.66 million people, which is more than 1/3 of the country's total population, and that percentage is set to increase. Although the government tries to encourage people to live and work elsewhere, it's hard when that's where most of the businesses are, so the strategy isn't working very well. It's also quite ethnically diverse, with 23% Asian and 15% Pasifika peoples living there, in addition to other ethnic groups. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm looking forward to a change. It will be more crowded and more expensive, but the trade-off is a bigger, more bustling city, with more to do, and new people to meet. The university environment here has grown stale, and when you're not growing anymore or being challenged, I think a change of scenery can be good. Plus, it will give me new stuff and new parts of New Zealand to write about! :)</div>

I went up for a visit recently and rented a car, and was surprised that they gave me an upgrade to a brand new car (only 13km total on the odometer). I had never heard of a Toyota C-HR, and it was a bit cramped and had lots of blind spots, but it was definitely sporty and cool to drive one straight off the lot. The back doors open from the top, like some futuristic car. </div>

Speaking of cars, I need to give an update on my own car. I decided to sell my Subaru Legacy and upgrade to a Subaru Forester, which is the number one car in New Zealand. I sold the Legacy to a German backpacker who was happy with it, and I am very happy with my new one. It feels so luxurious to have a newer car with modern upgrades, like heated seats and a sunroof, plus Bluetooth and computer safety features. It also has a tow bar for the move north to haul stuff.</div>

There are way more birds in Auckland, which is great, and you can hear the tuis and see the wood pigeons in town - you don't have to go out of your way for an encounter. They're hard to photograph since they like to move when you get your camera ready, but I got a couple with the zoom. I can't wait to get to hear tui every day.</div>

I took a ferry out to an island called Kawau Island, which is supposed to have some Australian animals there (wallabies and kookaburras), but unfortunately I just got to see the peacocks and other normal birds. The hike was nice though, and the views looking over the ocean were great. There were some remains from mining there too.</div>

I also finally got to try the chocolate-covered ice cream bar that has been advertised in Christchurch but that I haven't been able to find at the grocery stores. Apparently it is just sold in individual packs at the dairies (convenience stores). It was butterscotch popcorn and it was delicious. Definitely worth the $4.50 price!</div>

In Christchurch, I haven't done much besides tutoring and preparing for the move. You are reminded how much stuff you have accumulated over the years and what a pain it is to haul it around with you. I'm trying to clear out stuff, but I won't part with my books. There was a pop-up Krispy Kreme store at the mall for two weeks and when my coworkers said they had never had one, I had to get some for them. You couldn't just buy a couple though, so I got a whole box and got to eat a bunch of the leftovers myself. They taste just like I remember - so yum.</div>

I also went out for a friend's birthday to a Chinese restaurant that serves dim sum for lunch, which I hadn't ever had before. They are like tapas in Spain - little plates with just a few items, and you order a bunch of them and share. It was a good new experience and different from the other restaurants we've been to - there was more gelatin in the dishes and thicker coatings, but the flavors were good. We ordered one Chinese-style dessert, which was glutinous rice in a carrot-shaped breading. I thought it was cute so snapped a photo of that one.<br />

It was so nice to get out of the freezing cold winter weather in Christchurch and into a tropical American zone. It ranged from 75-86 degrees Fahrenheit (24-30 Celsius) while I was there, which meant I could wear short sleeves and shorts pretty much any time of day or night. Thankfully it only sprinkled a little during the first part of the trip, and waited until the last two days to have a steady rain, so we were already preparing to have to head back when it turned gray.<br />

We met up with family and did a lot together: shopping, eating, playing games, snorkeling, kayaking, hanging out at the beach. Pretty much just enjoying the time and planning as we went along, which isn't usually my style, but you can kind of get away with doing that there. The only thing we had to plan for was a Pearl Harbor visit, since tickets can sell out. I will say I was surprised at how non-eco-friendly Hawaii was. Restaurants gave out styrofoam containers, plastic water bottles were common, and recycling was hit and miss. I was also surprised at how cash-heavy it was. Where elsewhere in the world no one carries cash and cards or mobile phone swiping is ubiquitous, in Honolulu not only were there some places that only took cash, but you had to have exact fare (in cash) for the bus, and that meant getting a roll of quarters and putting bills and coins into an automatic counting machine after getting on the bus. It felt so antiquated, and was a real pain as a tourist having to carry around cash and coins and ensuring I had the right amount for how many trips I was going to take. It is quite behind other tourist destinations, and I suppose it's still there because there's enough demand regardless of the inconvenience.<br />

One highlight was shopping at Costco -- there were all kinds of tasty
new food options and I got a new underwater camera that I took with me
on the water adventures. We got some cool photos of fish in the coral
reef at Hanauma Bay, one of the top spots for snorkeling. We were all really vigilant about sunscreen during the trip overall, and I avoided getting burned, which was a win.<br />

Something I always notice is how comfortable it is to be in the U.S. compared to NZ. People will strike up a conversation with you and chat for a long time if you want to keep it going, and it doesn't matter that that will be your only encounter -- it can add something to your day. That is so different than here in NZ (or at least in Christchurch), where New Zealanders are mostly timid/reserved and avoid eye contact, let alone talking to strangers. It makes for a not very welcoming place, and the problem is the new people coming in pick up the vibe and end up replicating it even if they don't want to, so after a while you find yourself doing the same thing. On our hike to Diamond Head Mountain, the first time we got into a long conversation with a couple from the mainland after they asked us to take their picture and then another couple on our walk back down and they were so nice and interested in what we were up to and encouraging. On my second hike, I ended up meeting a family from the Midwest who were happy to have a chat. Obviously things aren't always like this and everyone is pretty much on vacation so in a decent mood, but this kind of ease of communicating is not universal. I miss it and it was nice to have.<br />

We ate out a lot and tried a cool Japanese restaurant and got the full multi-course meal which was quite an experience. I didn't try the octopus on the meat platter, but I did try the fried ball with octopus inside which came later. The food was very flavorful and tasty, and we were glad we tried something new.<br />

Someone also discovered this little food stall where a guy makes rolled ice cream by pouring a cream mixture on a frozen slab and then cutting up toppings and scraping it around until it makes real ice cream. It was good and we went back a second time. Partly it is cool as an experience to watch him make it. It doesn't look like it will amount to much, but then suddenly it is a cup full.<br />

Kayaking in Kane'ohe Bay was fun. There is a sandbar out aways where you can get out of the kayak and walk around. The water was warm enough for me and it was a beautiful day for it. Elsewhere the reef was very close the bottom of the boat, so it made for a more interesting experience than usual.<br />

We ended up buying too much stuff, as usual, for our luggage allowances, and for some reason on the way back, Air New Zealand actually checks your carry-on weight at the check-in desk. Fortunately, we encountered a sympathetic staff member who let us shift weight around to make our checked luggage overweight and have more than the peasly 15 pounds you're allowed for carry-ons.<br />
<br />
I didn't buy these Junior Mints bubbles or the "cereal" (cough, dessert), but I took photos for this blog as an example of what I both like and dislike about the U.S. -- you can literally get anything there...but it's probably not good for you, not necessary, and harming the planet. <br />

Also, I had a conference while I was over there, which went well. Again, it was so nice to be among mostly North Americans who could strike up conversations and sustain them easily. The more Canadians I meet, the more I discover how they even beat the U.S. at friendliness. They are lovely people to chat to. I also made acquaintances with a group of Australians who were also very cool and easy to talk to. I took a ton of notes and my presentation went well and I made some good contacts for the future, even though I'm not planning on fighting for a spot in the academic world.<br />

We checked out the zoo, which is very close to the main Waikiki area<i>, </i>and got to hear the elephants making a ruckus in response to some antelope-type animals making some calls. That was fun.<br />

I missed Hawaii even as I was leaving, and I would definitely like to go
back again, although Australia is closer and there are other islands in
the Pacific I'd like to visit. We'll have to see.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445064980879385172.post-31955430955293165052019-03-30T17:55:00.001+13:002019-03-30T17:55:49.877+13:00In the AftermathIt's been a tough couple of weeks. I'm always telling people that it is nice to not have the rampant gun violence here like the U.S. has, then a major terrorist attack happens fewer than two miles from me and affects the entire nation (and many overseas). I didn't think something like this would happen here, where people leave things unlocked and there are rarely ID checks -- just an overall high level of trust and safety. It has shocked us and saddened us. But I have been so proud of how Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has handled it -- with love ('aroha' in the Māori language) and empathy and resolve. The images of her hugging schoolchildren, wearing a headscarf in solidarity, wearing her Maori cloak, and showing real emotion have been so moving and inspirational. This is what leadership can look like. Sitting in Hagley Park for the call to prayer last week and watching the national remembrance services yesterday live-streamed, I admit I feel closer to this place. People react differently here -- they are not numb to it, and that has been reassuring. I hope real change comes out of this tragedy. But it will take all of us doing our part.<br />

I graduated and threw a party to celebrate with friends and acquaintances, and despite the terrible rainy weather, still managed to get a good turnout. I figured this would be the last time I would be celebrating something like this, so I went a bit overboard, but that's alright. I'm still polishing off the leftovers from the cakes...yum.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I recently traveled to Newcastle, Australia (about a
two-hour train ride north of Sydney) with a friend for the last academic
conference I would attend as a student. It was a bit humid and hot (in the 80s
F / high 20s C) but great to be so near the ocean and able to enjoy the nice
birdsong and frequent sightings of the cockatoos and kookaburras. The
conference was invigorating – lots of new ideas and books to check out and new
friendships made. On the days off, we did some Christmas shopping at a big mall
and walked down to the beach to do some swimming with the fish. That was a fun
experience and reminded me how calming an effect being in nature can have on us
humans. I always plan to get out in it more, but maybe I will actually make an
effort to do it in the new year. Every time I’m in Australia, I enjoy it and
want to come back. We did a quick harbor tour in Sydney while waiting for our flight. It started thundering and raining while we were out, so that was a bit of a bummer, but at least I got to view the magnificent Opera House and Harbor Bridge again.<o:p></o:p></div>

I ventured to Adelaide in the state of South Australia for
the first time for a conference along with a friend who’s working on the same
project, and we added on a day on either end for some sightseeing. I enjoyed
the city and, as usual, the food and atmosphere in Australia. Everyone was so
friendly – I forget what that’s like. At the checkouts people are smiling and
saying have a nice day, and seeming like they really mean it. Stuff like this
is why I feel this country is more similar to the U.S. than New Zealand. I miss
the smiles! </div>

After a long day of travel connecting through the Melbourne
Airport we found the Airbnb south of the city and a nice Italian restaurant to
get a good meal. The photo doesn’t do it justice, but it was a nice ragu with
pork that had been marinating for a minimum of 12 hours and it was quite tasty. </div>

(Museum of Discovery), the Centre for Democracy (a small one), and a little bit
of the Migration Museum. <br />

I really enjoyed the ‘Rundle Mall Pigs’ – four bronze
sculptures of friendly-looking pigs on a main pedestrian mall in the center of
town. They’re a great landmark for people like me who navigate better with
them. And they were such a magnet for kids – they love climbing on them and
getting photos taken. There is a lot of cool architecture around the city, too
– it’s pleasing to walk around and look at.</div>

My friend hadn’t had a Krispy Kreme doughnut before and I
haven’t had one in years so we popped into a shop to get two original ones. Mm
– they taste the same and so sugary good and he liked the soft and fluffy
inside that makes them so popular. </div>

I wasn’t a huge fan of the MOD – a new science and
technology museum that just opened a few months ago. Their target demographic
is young adults but they cut way back on the signage, to the point of minor
frustration at times. I get that people don’t want to read, but for those of us
who do, it would be nice to have more explanations or at least a QR code so we
can use our phones to get more info. I did like the science fictional exhibit
asking whether or not you would approve modifications to the heads of a baby in
order to give them a better chance at competing in the future. It was
thought-provoking and creepy, and definitely something that stays with you.
There were also lots of artworks that, if you downloaded an app and held it up
to them, would move using augmented reality (AR). It was an interesting idea
and perhaps that might become more popular in the future as AR becomes more
accessible. We grabbed a sandwich at a café before heading back to the MOD for an
evening conference reception. They told us about a cool exhibit where you can
listen to one of Australia’s oldest trees, and we realized we had missed that
one (again, lack of signage!). There were little pods you sit in and above you
is a changing light fixture with sounds of trees creaking. </div>

After the conference, we checked out the famous Central
Markets and found a little Spanish-inspired stand where we got cheese empanadas
and a potato dish with pork crackling (very salty). It would be nice to live
next to something like that where you could choose from lots of fresh food
stalls and a variety of world cuisines all in one place. Like, I don’t think I
have seen an African food stall before anywhere else yet, and the one there was
packed. We walked through Chinatown on the way back.</div>

The final day we decided to go to the Adelaide Zoo since he
hadn’t been to Australia before or seen a lot of the animals that I have at
other zoos, and I’m always up for the zoo. They had the only giant pandas in the
country and we went to the keeper talk first thing and learned a bunch of
interesting stuff about them that I didn’t know before that are really unusual.
For example, they only have a 36-hour mating window and the female pandas go
through pseudo-pregnancies so it’s really hard to tell when they are actually
pregnant. They can also apparently reabsorb an embryo up to two weeks before
being due to give birth, so they seem to have a lot of control of their
reproductive systems. </div>

After hours of walking around the zoo, we couldn’t help but swing by San Churro Chocolateria, a
dessert place I’ve been to on other trips, and get a churro and ice cream dessert during the late
lunchtime. Then we went to the National Wine Centre and learned some more about
Australian wines. I finished off the day with some honeycomb gelato at Gelatissimo - a last taste of Australia. Thankfully I plan to be going back soon for another conference later this year.</div>
