Bonjourrrr
As most of you know, well I'm sure all of you know actually- I've been back in New Zealand for about two and a half months almost. Time has absolutely flown by it is incredible how fast it goes. I'll be heading back to chilly Canada in two weeks tomorrow to be precise and I cannot explain the rush of different emotions I have going on in my head at the moment! I've got quite a bit of time on my hands in the next day or so, figured I might as well reconnect with everyone back home and give you guys extremely delayed updates on my life thus far!
From my post earlier, Out of Hibernation I believe, I mentioned I'd be back here for another 3 months and since then I've had a great time catching up with old friends and making new ones. Some standard things have been going around my central location and what I like to call home, Auckland, New Zealand. Since then though I have gone back to my heaven city of Queenstown for a holiday with my mates and have changed my home base to a city called Whangarei, just a few hours up North and insanely beautiful.
I'll give another recollection of my second trip to Queenstown but here's a tad from my Auckland time so far

This was a real exciting time as it was my very first All Blacks Rugby Game :) They played against South African Springboks and had an amazing game. If anyone ever has the opportunity to see them (They did come to Canada for a friendly game) then you really need to see them! Incredible players and when they do the Haka it literally leaves you speechless! Here's a link from the Rugby World Cup Final in 2011:

Also took a little evening off from drinking (you're welcome Mom) and went to a haunted asylum and maze just on the outskirts of Auckland. Loads of fun but extremely scary as well! They didn't do any action scary shots haha but we did get one just before heading into the asylum, a definite must do if in Auckland, it's open year round!

So far that's a slight catch up of things around town that I got around to documenting :P I've been a bit slack this time around but nonetheless it's still been just as amazing!
hope all is well back home, miss everyone!
