New New Zealand Update


Here is an idea on how expencive things are out here...


Near my home...


















Things are going quite well for us out here. Zoey and I found new jobs. We now work in a town of 300 called Manapouri. The Manapouri Lakeview Motor Inn is our new home. The MLMI has a bar, a bistro, a liquor store, and a motel. We sleep in a motel room. Number 608 is home. I work in the bar, mostly at nights and Zoey does house keeping during the day. So far we like it. The locals here are nice. They have a strong Kiwi accent that makes for some confusion when they order drinks. They order lots of drinks with lemonaid, and expect 7 up. The funny thing beeing we sell proper lemonaid.

The room were in is kinda depressing. I feel like all we do is watch TV. TV isn't so bad on a couch but in a bed I just feel like a slob. Eating in bed and what not.

Work is slow right now but should pick up in a few weeks. So I'm looking forward to that.
