I'm in New Zealand now. It's nice. It's pretty warm here today. 75 degrees (that's 24 celsius). It is kind of rainy, and everyone is a little upset that the great weather streak is over. Someone made a joke that I brought the bad weather with me. It's probably true. People are very nice here. Every time I ask a stranger for directions, they stop what they are doing and work with me for 5 or ten minutes to figure out the best solution to my problem. Everyone seems to assume that I am from Canada and I don't know why. I guess I can't blame them because people in Boston also assume I am Canadian.
I was able to check into my flat early, it feels good to have a home base that I can always fall back on. I'll probably start traveling Tuesday. I'm not sure what my itinerary will be, but I'm sure I will be able to find something to do.
By the way, on my way to my flat I came across a sign that reassured me that I will be just fine while I am in New Zealand. It's as if they knew I was coming.

I think it's a HUGE compliment that people (outside of the US) assume you're Canadian. I'm not sure what it means in Boston.
