Here’s my NZ addy:

Just had my orientation today - info about banks and stuff. I’m feeling all weird now. I don’t know anyone and making a choice is hard because there’s too much to choose from. I just need to go. Leave Auckland - every city is the same, really.

Hung out yesterday with a Ryan Bonner, a cool guy from Mass. He’s a musician and more. We went to the Auckland Museum and looked at all the history, the funny birds, and curious things. For dinner, we bought a bottle of Shiraz and went to a BYO Japanese restaurant. mmmmMMmmmmmm tempura and sushi with miso. So good. Then we bought another bottle afterward and drank it at the hostel. He’s off today to accompany the British guy (Rob) and travel with him.

Today is business for me - bank account, figure out travel to north of here, and hopefully LEAVE tomorrow. Who knows, mang.
