lovely people, pretty people
it must come from having such a beautiful country, awesome rugby team, and good standard of living, but the kiwis are the most friendly people i have ever met. from supermarkets to bus stops, everyone has a polite and friendly word for you. the travellers here are a bit different to those used to the asian trail though. i'm used to being a sweaty, dirty mess most of the time: here, all the girls have make up on, and all the guys have packed their hair gel. my first night in a hostel i was disconcerted to see that everyone looked like they were ready for a friday night on the town... i met one girl who was carrying a hairdryer around the country! with honking big diffuser (i have no idea) to boot! bizarre: i'll just have to live with being the scruffy, although i prefer well travelled, one.
