BACK IN AUCKLAND

I'm back in Auckland now. Some reflections:

  • Auckland's public transport system might actually be turning me into a zen buddha master. Everyday they test my patience. I stand still at the bus stop for over 30 minutes on some days, looking far into the distance, hoping to catch the first glimpse of my bus. It's all part of the training, I think.
  • Access to Facebook is easy in NZ. I spend way too much time on it. I think it is better for me to have restricted access like in China.
  • I convert prices into kuai (Chinese currency) and I shout inside my head "tai gui la!" (too expensive!)
