I'm alive and well and having a lot of fun. I've been working on a post, but haven't been happy with the way I've written it and thus haven't posted it yet. Additionally, I've since gotten a job and been pretty busy the last 3 weeks.
In a nutshell, I spent Christmas in a hostel on a sheep farm in the middle of nowhere, near Twizel and the Kingdom of Rohan. It was quite peaceful, but I was a bit lonely after parting ways with my friends Olivia and Doug. A nice couple of older ladies from Vienna, AUS made me Xmas dinner, so that was quite nice! I went for a nice grueling hike on Christmas day, as it was 75 degrees and sunny, really nice!
(Buscot Station, a nice homelike hostel on a sheep farm near Twizel)Currently, I'm in Queenstown and I've gotten a job as a bartender at a brand new bar called Skybar. Its a really fun job and we serve fine wines and make really nice cocktails. Late at night, the place gets busy and becomes a party bar where people go crazy and dance on the tables! Queenstown is quite the party town, and people party until 8am most nights. Our bar is open until 4am, so I've switched my days and nights around.
I'm still living at a hostel and looking to get a flat soon--sharing a room with 5 other guys is not fun!
I will get you more details and pictures later when I have more time. Right now, this is just a filler to let you know whats going on.
Cheers and thanks for tuning in. I really appreciate the comments!!!
