Can I have another Tim Tam Slam?!

Some things I find interesting about New Zealand:

- It is basically the most beautiful place anywhere EVER (and that is with cloudy skies, I have yet to see it with clear skies, but I can't wait)!

- I asked a Kiwi girl doing the same DTS with me about when schools are in session here. She explained that they have 9 weeks on and 2 weeks off (4 times) and then 3 months off. Someone tell Obama this...I don't think he knows.

- College is known as University

- I tried a Tim Tam Slam today. I don't know if I am at liberty to explain this, but it is melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

- You have to ride a bike or motorcycle with a helmet or you get a BIG fine.

- Don't ever make a peace sign and turn it to face you!! That is like giving someone the finger!

- Their accents out do the USA always.

- The toilets have two options for flushing.

- They like to say "Bro" a lot.

I have been surprised to find I have more time for blogging and skype than I expected. With that said, I want to use my time wisely and soak it up.

Also, we got to hear the vision for the Backpackers' DTS today and I am so pumped, I want to jump around. This is the perfect DTS for me. I will get to rock climb, slack-line, mountain bike, etc. and while doing these things I am passionate about (specifically rock climbing), get to know others. I will get to be myself and share how God has impacted my life.
