10 Days Down

I have been in New Zealand for 10 days now. Here are 10 things I like about the place so far:

(1) fish and chips, wrapped in newspaper
(2) bike-friendly Wellington, with many
mountain bike trails
(3) the
wind turbine and hiking trails near my house
(4) views of Wellington Harbour (Pacific Ocean) from my office
(5) the weather (a little windy, but summer is just around the corner)
(6) kiwis (nocturnal, flightless birds and fruits). Incidentally, the name also refers to New Zealanders.
(7) cafes with great coffee
(8) the Office of the Auditor General provides its employees with coffee in French press, a variety of teas, Milo, bananas and apples
(9)
karori wildlife sanctuary and native forest just behind the house
(10) easy access to the Pacific Islands

Very glad that NZ is treating you well and that the government over there keeps you peppy with caffeine in order to work.
