Ok, I'm realy seatled in now. I have a job, am paying the rent, feel at home and my iPod has arrived (so happy with that). The bad thing is: this doesn't feel like much of an adventure, the good thing is I'm making money and looking forward to travel south when I have enough of it. I try to spend as little as possible, so I am not going out or spending money on stuff that I don't realy need. It's not that I'm bored, I read a lot and relax every free moment that I have. I like Takapuna because of it's nice library and it's beautiful beach. I'll be building bumblebee nests tomorrow with whatever material I can find laying around. Maybe I'll have to go find some flowering plants as well (and I sure ain't gonna pay for them), because theres not much bee food around this area.
I've worked around 30 hours so far, and next week I'm pretty much doing full-time (40 hours). I am pretty confident that I'll keep this job for a while, maximum three months. The colleagues are just great, they're friendly, crazy, I dig them, I fit right into that bunch. Today I worked at the bar for the first time, and that is absolutely what I want to do. Basicly it's just talking about beer all day :-). I'll try not to make it too obvious that I'm from Belgium from now on, because people, with all their good intentions, just keep on talking to me about that. Everybody knows some-one that's been there and has some story about it, and often I just don't have the time for that.
A Belgian family came in today that had just moved to New-Zealand for their new life. The dad ordered a Chimay and was a bit melancholic, I think he missed home already. They were nice.
I have to study up on wines and coffees tomorrow, they have an American coffee culture here, which I realy don't like (dilluting coffee with water, what the hell?). Some-one stole my sigarettes from the changing room earlier this week, bastard.
There realy isn't much more to say, as sad as it may sound. Exept that my mind is constantly racing at 200km/hr and that I have found an energy here that I had never suspected was in me. The work helps, it's addictive, it's like a cocaine trip.
I'll put a decent update on once I have something interesting to say (might be a while)
"...because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!' "
burn on fellows

No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength.
