NZ, Auckland - Day 1

Well here I am again - back in NZ! Not too sure if it's where I want to be at the moment, but as I can't decide on what I wanna do, this is my current choice. I think I'm going to be here for a while - they're talking 6months...but who knows?! Last year I was told 3 weeks - ended up staying for 5months. Pfft!

I'm staying at the Langham Hotel - really nice poshy hotel (not as good as the Grand Hyatt though), but I might decide to move into serviced apartments. I can't stand staying in the hotel for more than a month - I have to eat out everyday and pack up every week to go home. I'm also definitely hitting the hotel gym and pool - spent $200 on a new pair of Nike sneakers and Champion gym wear. On sale of course - total bargain!

The current deal is that I work here for two weeks and they'll fly me back to Sydney for the weekend. I'm racking up lotsa Frequent Flyer points - I'm currently Silver status, alllmosst Gold! I can't wait =) Yippee!! Qantas Club, here I come! It was good to get back into the office and see most of the NZ guys again - kinda missed being here. Everyone is really friendly around here - different to the work environment back in Sydney.

Definite highlights of working in NZ would have to be the per diems, oodles of travelling and the hotel stays. And of course exploring a totally new country. I really want to go to the South Island - Queenstown is my next stop here in NZ.

Ok will blog soon - since I'll be spending a lot of time here, lots of writing to be done.

My next flight back: Thursday night, 26th Jan 2006

See you all soon
