Kia Ora is how you greet people in New Zealand. I am finally here! It is the end of my second day and I love it more than I thought I would! This is just a quick note saying hi as I have not really had a lot of time to take any pictures of "campus" yet. Not that my pictures will do this scenery justice at all. My front yard is mountains and my backyard is the beach. Amazing.
So far we have just been going over how campus works, rules, chores, greetings, orientation, etc. Tomorrow we have an intro into how our classes will work and then I think we are going for a hike in the national park down the road. We also have a plan to get up for sunrise and then go for a run! Hopefully I make it back to campus.
A quick note on the rest of my stay in LA. Brunch in California is incredible. There are two complete buffets - one breakfast, one lunch - which have every food imaginable and endless mimosas. My mom and I had 5 plates each.
Back to New Zealand, they have this candy here called Hokey Pokey. It goes in candy bars and ice cream. It is delicious. I can't even put my finger on what it takes like, kind of toffee honey tasting but really good. Especially when we had homemade chocolate sauce on the ice cream tonight.
A more detailed post to come with pictures!
