Just some thoughts..

So- in just over 24 hrs from stepping off the plane, I've been asked twice for directions (and gave an accurate reply.. I'm pretty sure) and been mistaken for a German at least once. (Well, it's better than getting a punch in the face for being an American!)
So, it's been raining buckets today and hence it's allowed plenty of time to roam the streets and check out the museums. In doing so, I begin to wonder... if you're in a country that drives on the left side of the street and you're walking towards on-coming pedestrians, do you walk to the right or to the left? Food for thought... I still haven't figured this one out yet. If you have some insight, please let me know.
On other notes: They have some really great intersections that allow you not only to walk across the street crosswise, but diagonally as well- pure people crossing in every which way. LOVE IT!
So, I've been madly posting blogs (which I'm sure is pleasing some) but I'm off to catch my flight in a bit to Christchurch and hopefully get this holiday rolling. Not sure how much more socked in internet time will be available.
Until next time...
Keep on rockin'
