Things yet to achieve (when I go back!)
- Go to a beach BBQ
- Go scuba diving (actually I think the next time I am in the area I will just go to the great barrier reef).
- Swim with whales
- I went tramping (hiking) but I want to do a lot more when I get back!
- See a kiwi- in the wild
- Visit Australia
I have given up on
- Learning a Kiwi accent- I think I will just accept the American one- it is, after all- superior ; )
- Acing all of my classes (well I got a B+ which is good for NZ, as for the others I shall have to wait and see).
- Collect rocks from every place that I visited (some of them were boring and I was trying to pack light.)
Things that I can do here!
- Read The Bone People - the seminal NZ classic
- Make a Maori dish- I just found some recipes (they have a potato sourdough thing, I am intrigued- this is sure to be a blog post- in a few weeks, or months.).
- I heard Kiwibird in the wild (most Kiwis (NZ'ers) never do this).
- I saw dolphins
- I went bungee jumping off of the highest jump in Australasia! (I can go sky-diving in America.)
- I saw several glaciers
- I did attempt surfing
- There are some Maori carvings that I may have as presents.
- I ate lamb- to be honest--its just another meat
- Went zorbing!

- Visted Christchurch and saw and felt the effects of earthquakes (mag. 5.2)
- Did a wine tasting- still not sure I like wine.
- I did climb a few volcanoes on the North Island.
