Go to the museum
- Ask questions, generally people will have no problem answering them
- Learn some Moari words...Kia ora!
- Walk around Symonds St. With ‘Team Jacob’ written on your face (it was yesterday’s immunity); like so:
Call ‘sprinkles’, ‘hundreds and thousands’
- Tell Bush jokes – it gives you a common ground to build upon.
- Listen to some local music (Tangaroa by Tiki Taane)
- Buy an umbrella...actually, buy 2...it rains here every day.
- Watch ‘Boy’ and try to imitate the Kiwi accent
- Start spelling ‘color and humor’ as ‘colour and humour’
- Go to class and pass them
Don't...
- Say you love eating kiwis...people will think you’re a cannibal. Specify them as ‘kiwifruit’
- Start telling NZ jokes before you make friends that understand your humour – you might offend people
- Drive on the left hand side of the road
- Do anything illegal, and get caught
- Try to sue anyone, because you can’t sue in NZ
- Get too comfortable...go exploring as often as you can
- Wear white nail polish – people will think you put ‘twink’ on your nails. But do start calling white-out, twink
- Leave your room without your camera and an umbrella (did I mention how rainy it is here?)
- Eat Vegemite or its equally bitter half-sister, Marmite. It’s an acquired taste, and you will not acquire it in the short time you are in NZ
And I'll leave you to ponder about my next blog post...I will be!
- Khushbu(That is today's immunity by the way, and I have to do it singing the Eye of the Tiger haha)
