Beach

Lost my yellow sunglasses in the ocean today. When I was pretty much being drowned by the intense waves. nbd. Although it was cold and windy the turnout for the beach trip was really good, though I'm thinking today was average weather.. I was the most skanky dressed girl there, because everyone else packed clothes to wear on top on their swimsuit/"togs" as the water was 65 degrees #classic. After the beach we went for hot chocolate. Obviously.



Driving to/from the beach I was overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery. And just like when I got off the plane here I almost had a Kristen Bell Sloth moment (youtube it. seriously you won't regret it). I find I frequently feel like this but I'm just so happy I can't help it. #slothattack

Today was a public holiday sort of like Independence Day but none of the excitement. The Kiwis and Maori signed a treaty and till this day is diabolical and many Maori see it as unfair. I find the different political troubles here so interesting. Not to be rude or belittle anyone but I feel they are on a smaller scale than the States', and it's really cool to see how everything is handled. Oh yea saw the prime minister the other day. Check.

Thoughts:



Cilantro = Corriander, something I keep forgetting and get frustrated when someone says they don't have it and I see it in front of me. err..



I love that people over here love Britney as much as I do. Beyonce as well. It cracks me up that others crack up when I said "My girl B" and then they try to say it.



The Chinese Lattern Festival was beautiful and felt like I was in the movie "Tangled" but in Asia?

I love my little travel journal!
