another update
i hope i still get to fiji, but i've just bought a car. yes, flitty me will be driving on the other side of the road, sitting in the other side of the car. it was pretty cheap, especially with the exchange rate, and i will use it to haul groceries and to explore this wee island/nation. i'm sharing the car with a friend i have made at the hostel. she's canadian and we were going to get a flat together but we thought we'd stay at the hostel in a double instead so we could have some privacy.
now, historically, i'm really bad at being a roommate and i'm optimistic that this situation will be better then my previous experiences b/c this is such a unique situation. but this girl, bless her heart, ain't the brightest and is 19, so i'm just hoping to be chill and laidback and optimistic and open.
in other news, i was mistaken for a maori today. the maori were the first to populate new zealand (aotearoa) and seem to have had a better go with living with the whities than the aborigines in australia. they're really a big part of the population and culture here, and it's pretty good to see. but for me, personally, it was interseting to be mistaken for a maori. some old biddy tried to speak to me in maori. let's see...that makes it korean, japanese, native american, maori and who knows what else. do i look that different or are people that ... confused? :)
