warning... i can`t do punctuation properly as im on a japanse laptop, so youre lucky you get english words at all!

im sunburnt! from yesterday! had an awesome day though went beach in the morning and rode the waves on a big inflatable turtle! then went to another beach and hired out a jet ski for the afternoon with a bunch of people which was the most fun ever!! then went to the thermal spa that i work at for a soak, then home to watch a film and eat nachos! best day! :)

apart from that ive just been working and beaching! its fun, and im looking forward to going on some trips. we are going to go camping next week, as i have a few days off, not sure where to yet, and im planning a trip to see a friend near napier soon. We had a little overnight trip up to Auckland last week to pick up a friend who had gone home to japan for christmas, and 5 of us tripped up there, and had a very funny night at a korean kareoke bar and wondering the parks at night, followed by going to the casino at 3am. i tried one game of roulette that said it was $2.50 per go, but was scammed by the lady as had to pay my whole $5 for one go cos i didnt understand the rules! and i lost first go! gutted. anyway, so next day we make it to the airport homemade signs in hands, to find Shinya isnt landing till the following day!! bad communication error! but was still a good time in auckland!

work is going well and im really lucky to be working at a place that pays so well! i am managing to save a bit of money, and am going to book a flight to Rarotonga, one of the cook islands. i might go there before i go to sydney, we shall see.
