XOXOX & about Christmas Kiwi Style
=^..^=
I didn't realize I had regular readers until I started slacking off. And then people started asking questions about why I stopped blogging, heh...
So, today's blog is dedicated to all of you who decided it was time to give me a gentle nudge in the right direction (Hi Vilma, hi Priamus :D)
Here's what I wanna share today.
There's a nice little church in Auckland that draws my attention every time I pass by. Their bulletin board is always a treat and sometimes I am lucky enough to have my camera with me.
They actually made news this year with this controversial picture. It also ended up on failblog (although the board is a massive WIN in my book!):
see more Epic Fails
Gotta love the Kiwi sense of humour.

Video I
=^..^=
As I have mentioned* many times, I have a very temperamental third world internet connection that seems to work in pulses and uploading even the shortest of videos is a painstaking process.
In this short video, Jason (indirectly) calls us idiots, heh... Might I add: idiots with sun-burnt scalps and noses! I look like an old alcoholic.
*and by "mentioned" I mean bitched and moaned plenty of times to anyone willing to listen

Turn where?!
=^..^=
If you know me personally, you also know that
1) I am an awesome driver,
2) I am an awesome driver with no sense of direction whatsoever.
So far I've learned how to get to the nearest shopping centre by myself, but that's about it. I couldn't find my way to or out of Auckland central if my life depended on it. My husband says I couldn't find my way out of a wet paper bag and I must admit he's not far from the truth.
I also get confused over the signs Kiwis put up.
Is there a left from right hand through lane? A right from left hand through lane? WHAT IS A RIGHT FROM RIGHT HAND THROUGH LANE?! AM I IN THE RIGHT LANE??? AM I TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AND WHY AM I HERE? IS THERE A BUS ABOUT TO RUN OVER ME?????? KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!1!!!!!!!!1111!
No sign should take a University educated person more than a couple of seconds to figure out!
This one had me puzzled a little when I first came to Auckland, you can see it at any major intersection:

Say whaaa...? You... you can tell just by looking at them?Oh, you mean PEDESTRIANS! Silly me, I thought... Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk
