Birmingham Consignment Prom Shops

Jarp, Jarp!

Hello, dear friends
light entertainment! (Where the phrase comes from?)

Long have I not reported, but the laziness seems to have the "One Ring" in that you can take as little ..

My time here in El Rancho and even here in New Zealand is coming to an end. In 21 days (or maybe a bit shorter - see below) I will board the plane and fly for home.

Victor, my faithful companions Camp will swing behind the wheel tomorrow and start his 2 weeks of traveling with a glad sense. He starts the avalanche of Auf Wiedersehen-men .. shortly thereafter, on 8 July Lex pack their bags and fly to Auckland to fly from there for a month to Germany. On 12 July will be Max, Ines and I are going to Cambridge to take part in our end of the seminar ICYE.

ICYE topic: Since about March, the employee organization-los. Michelle, ICYE boss is drawn to Australia to found ICYE Australia .. and we sit here with no real contact person (apart from the German ICJA). Any form of contact with Michelle was not really productive .. Emails were not answered, calls not accepted. Also ICJA had not time's sake really heard of Michelle. Now, someone set it back .. for the next group of volunteers should therefore run everything smooth again. Was just a shame that we had opportunities not because there is no telling in the monthly phone call from ICYE a little bit (although I am quite well off and I had nothing to complain about).

Now I was thinking, maybe the eighth with Alexia to fly in July (or July 11) to Germany. In this way I would miss the ICYE seminar, which would not be so bad. At the moment I can only waiting for the ICJA promise that I can still participate in the German Endseminar, I find all of the preparatory seminar large Lohra (wuhuuu!) to see again. Once this Commitment to roll up, I will take a final decision .. ICYE logs eh not so far .. let's see. Otherwise, I thank

me here at this point schonmal to all who have kept in touch (you gave me this year made really nice), I thank all New Zealanders, I was allowed to get to know (you've made this year to this year !). :)

Before leaving New Zealand, I will contact you safe again.

Cheers!
Nick

PS: If you have nothing with "Jarp, Jarp!" can begin, the provider should look at "Hot Fuzz" .. just wonderful:)

Why Do Guys Grow Their Pinky Fingernail

Kiwi friendliness

Here I I again.
A brief episode of Max and my last trip to Waitara. We met up with Sarah and Lisa from Wanganui and drove together to New Plymouth, where we picked up Serena.

After a beautiful afternoon in NP, we took the bus to Waitara, a "small town", about half an hour from NP. There we were received very friendly by Serena's family .. 4 children, 2 parents, 1 dog, Serena and 4 guests:) The house was full!

Saturday we took Serena to a Kayaktrip on the Waikato River. That was extremly cool because we could simply use the kayaks and the host family usually costs, such a trip around the 60 $:] We had an extremely great time!

Sunday we planned to take the bus from Waitara to NP, to drive from there with the NakedBus back to Wanganui (the girls), and Waikanae (we guys). We waiting at the bus stop, which was not really the right (we were a bit late), but it was a small bus stop shelters since that was intended for school children. So we wait and when the bus comes, we wave fanatic, calling like crazy. The bus driver waves us around the next curve, he will turn and we think, "Yeah .. he keeps behind the next corner!", We grab our stuff running across the street to be fairly run over and run and run and run. . and the idiot bus driver from driving A Friend! How were so there, no bus, no car available .. reasonably close to tears comes to us the idea to call a taxi. Expensive, but we have to somehow get our booked Nakedbus? So call the taxi service, but somehow do not speak proper English and nciht understand what we want. We are stranded. Lost. Forever. * Heul * A friendly woman responds to us when we ask after calming taxi number, but we have asked the Community Center.

And there .. The women behind the counter look at each other and say: Well ... see as our good deed for this year .. we'll go.

this angle, we take this (perhaps slightly mad?) Women in their 40 minutes to New Plymouth. For free?

After the ultimate destruction of the ideal of the New Zealand experience by the driver of this more than offset by the two women.

And the moral of the story? Hurry up and do not miss the bus: D
(. Naaaah. ^ ^ just joking:)

Catch ya!

110cc What Size Plug Does It Take



Halli Hallo,
a sign of life again later, it takes forever to me I can overcome this to squat down at the computer and actually write something.

lot has changed since the last blog entry (which in other respects also the first from El Rancho was!).
Kate, The German volunteers, had finally got because of strong pain in the abdomen a medical certificate to have to be immediately flown to Germany so they can be treated there. Her flight was canceled but then thanks Eyjafjalla .. Now she lives in the meantime with friends in Wellington and tried - again with medical help - an emergency room to get on a plane, so as not to 4 May have to wait ... we'll see how it goes on.
Even Sally, another German volunteers who actually listens to the name of Salome, left the camp. Last Saturday she went with Lex on a road trip up to Auckland, New Zealand, where she spends the last days. Thursday flies them to LA where she is still a week and then she's in the springtime Germany.

This is just the beginning of changes is ..
Levi and Grace will leave us in late April, since leaving their summer contracts (yes, we had once summer [southern hemisphere and so!], Even if one of them will notice not much ..). Grace on 16 July, Ines (our Bolivian volunteers) to Bolivia and voluntieren fly out there for a rough year. Levi, however, will spend the summer in northern hemispheric America, where he works in a Christian camp.

What else is there still so new? Kids Camp Easter and I will discuss another blog entry, otherwise I would not meet the entire be.

Well .. I am reminded again and again friendly: The number 80 is, ladies and gentlemen! EIGHTY! As long it will take (in days) until I'm back home. Incredibly, when I think about how I felt as I walked through my room the last time and a year yet so infinitely appeared!

I enjoy my time here .. I learn a lot about me, about what I like and rather less like what I miss who I miss. Of course, I already came to the thought: Emigration? Why not? Even if I knew exactly that I first would not sign up with VoX that line about "Let's get out" or "We are emigrating!" and 2 would It definitely will not be easy. Man (or as I have learned .. I may be generalized so do not just) missed the home .. but not because of local advantages or disadvantages, no. Man (/ I) missed the people. His parents, as annoying as they may be had at some point, the best of friends, the brother, the nice man in the chocolate business in the city.

However, it is an experience I can recommend to anyone. Studies can wait, the world is stressful enough. Sometimes I ask myself what is the point at all to study, to work in a job that brings in a lot of money. I experience here is that although money is necessary (how much I think about it, is another matter ..), but definitely not this is what I believe is important. As far as I can bring this attitude with me to Germany to be seen.
