| Understatement of the CenturySo...*shuffles feet a bit, coughs into the microphone to get attention* ...I no longer blog here.
Don't get me wrong, xanga has been great, but now I'm starting a new business and want my blog to reflect my life now, not the musing about whether or not I'd get into college (I did) or wonderings about whether I'd graduate (also done).
I can be found here. http://www.butterflychaserphotography.com/

| Other Things About New ZealandThere isn't any such thing as "unlimited internet usage" in New Zealand. You pay for a plan and if you go over your limit for uploading/downloading they charge you extra. We had a plan that covered 5 gigs, which can be almost consumed in one evening of bored flickr uploading...that's all I'm saying.
The commercials in New Zealand are the cutest. Seriously. Obviously, being Americans and thus technologically superior (see above point about the internet) we beat the Kiwis to the punch with the internet and captured the dot com domains, leaving them with the alternate url ending <co.nz.> So, at the end of every commercial they say, "For more information go to www.domain.co.nz. Except, Kiwi's say the letters nz as "in zed" which amused me to no end.
Kiwi playgrounds are much more exciting and dangerous then American playgrounds have ever dreamed of being. They still have trampolines, see-saws, wooden play ground equipment and other such hazards that the girls absolutely love.
This is a wooden maze at the playground, with walls about five feet high. It's rather long and complicated for a small child, but the girls love it...more specifically, playing tag in it.
This is a zip line. Basically the child climbs into a wooden stand about 25 feet off the ground, and then hops onto the swing and slides down about 30 meters. In New Zealand they call this a "Flying Fox", in America we would call it a liability.
This is a wooden wheel that children run in...like a hamster wheel. Inevitably one of the girls would lose her footing and fall to the bottom of the wheel and be spun around like wet clothes in a dryer, but none of them seem to mind.
