A great outcome for many parts of the world



Today, New Zealanders celebrated Guy Fawkes Day with fireworks on the harbour. Many were also celebrating Barak Obama's win for the presidential elections (being 16 hours ahead of the US East Coast, we learned the election results this afternoon). I was concerned that I wouldn't return home if McCain and Palin were elected, so I am very relieved that I can come home anytime after January.

This Saturday, New Zealanders will have their own national elections, but many have indicated a greater interest in the US outcome.
