New Zealand suits me, I think.
It's quiet and unassuming and intensely beautiful... at least from what I saw from the ride home from the airport!
I've been staying the last two days with my cousin Kai, who lives in Hamilton, New Zealand and has just opened his own Chinese diner. He also has an 8-month-old baby girl with his wife Rainy. My aunt is also living with them to watch the baby, so it's a full household! But taking a break from traveling has been a nice change of pace. Yesterday I went into town and got a bunch of errands done, such as getting a New Zealand SIM card for my phone (now I can be reached anytime and from anywhere in the world... aka my parents can now rest easy) and buying a rainjacket because NZ is famous for its rain (how else could the grass have become so lush?)
In a few hours I am catching a bus and heading out to Rotorua, which is a geothermal village. Then it's on to Taupo, and finally Wellington for two or three days. Then back to Hamilton before flying to Christchurch to tour the South Island. Can't wait!
Internet access will definitely be shoddy, but I'll write again at least when I get back to Hamilton next week.

I want to hear about Zorbing, possible with pictures. Also you should post pictures of the china baby, perhaps with a WOMBAT!
