Waxing Aroused Nottingham

city Koller Ashburton (population 28,000)

As it now once again a heavy rain was Bißle are Nadine, Harrison and I went to Ashburton, the nearest town of Methven, located about 30 km. I had to buy me a new hiking pants, as my total now falls apart (they have already patched 5 times, but now it's really not any more). I've actually found one, although in Ashburton are only 4 clothing stores (again, we have not found any case).
After about 2 hours Nadine and I have got an absolute Koller a lot of cars, the noise, all the people and traffic lights (traffic lights have seen in ages no more, not in Kaikoura, Picton still in still in Takaka, there were traffic lights, just too small). We have both been on it at once totally bad, that was really too much city at once. And I think we are talking about a town with 28,000 inhabitants (including all adjacent villages). Is real mad, I'm no longer completely normal. The last time I was in a town this size (or larger) in Tauranga, and that was in November last year, I found the totally bad. Shock! Uncomfortable! I mean, if it been a Christian Church would be really big city, ok, of course, but Ashburton ...
any case, we take it just to go to the supermarket and are driven back to Methven, in the Pampa, population 1,200. How beautiful it was so calm and collected (the sun actually came out again)., Sheep instead of cars, the mountains in the background beautifully.
want to show times Nadine, here in our hostel kitchen
And this is Enrique, a 40 year old Spaniard middle, which I have already met in Takaka and now I have met here in the hostel by chance.

Bissle crazy, but very nice. He has found work in Methven, on a farm, and lives for several weeks here at the hostel.
And then a little anecdote: I came last night, but purely in my room and what I find on?

Honey, the hostel cat in the middle of my bed. Could they throw out, of course, but they had to sleep on their feet, a Bißle place I like to spend too.
And more good news:
Harrison has just arrived by TUV!
And I've found a new job, and now it is: PAID! Incredible that something like this still exist. No, seriously, I say times 60-70% of job offers imIinternet now (on sites like Backpacker Board or Jobseeker) Work Exchange jobs are. Some also true yield, sucks ass. I mean, yes you will need to earn some money when his working holiday and travel times, there it does not really affect only the money for the property to save money and tied to one place to be. Anyway, I've
searched for weeks now and there was just nothing. I absolutely wanted to go Plücker apples and kiwis, or just some fruit, but you can get as simple a job is already months earlier forgive anything. And these are the jobs in which work the most and is hardest and are paid the least, mostly Mindeslohn (12.50 NZD).
Now I have found a job at a tourist center, in the very south of South Island, again very isolated. And I work (again) in a cafe. But who have also a souvenir shop, a motel, a gas station and a backpacker. Because of that seems to be pleasant and unforgettable.
Will go there on Saturday and Sunday start with work. I'm looking forward to it somehow. It is near Wanaka (again), but Wanaka I like so much and there are still viiiiel explore for me.
