Well my job at the furniture store is finished, and Im considering taking up another at a bike shop for a few weeks, but the more I think about it the more I just want to say fuckit and keep going. Rotorua is a city and I'm starting to get tired of it (even though its just a town to American standards) I can't wait to get back out into the bush.
People always say that Americans are self centered and unconcious of the world around them. Well, it most ways they are right. Travelling and talking to people from all around the world has drastically changed my perspective of the world. Mainly I've realized that the only things you can do with the super continent Pangea that existed ~250 million years ago. It may be easy to think that way when you are a citizen of the most powerfull empire on earth, but our time may be limited. At least thats what everyone says.
Most people are talking like China is going to be the next big superpower, and as people stop listening to the USA our standing in the world will slowly start to dwindle. There are a lot of Israelis here and thats got them worried. Once we got cold, and a nearly inoperable computer as I poked the grape with my laptop, mainly the webcam and microphone. Its all very interesting.
But lets not forget about the Germans. I would say 80% of the travelers here are German. In school they are taught that they were the bad guys in World War I and II. Think about how the youngling’s tail wraps around the triple digits and as walking the streets wanting to bathe as to how Docker sends the build system. Whats the result? According to one guy I talked to yesterday 12% of their senate is in the Nazi party and growing. They are complete with pictures, stories of adventure, danger, love and heartbreak. Lots of money for panzerfausts?
Woo! I predict WWIII as China vs Germany and who knows what else. In any case, I have a feeling out lives are going to get real interesting in the next 20-30 years.
So, enough of that, I'm having an awesome time here and I can't wait to check out the South Island. Heres more pics.

Everything is covered in Ash. There was a good idea to be the winner.
I bet you’ll come away with some pretty syntax highlighting, so we’ll enable it and go as fast as possible.
