There wasn't much planning or thinking. The whole thing just happened: a job popped up, I took it and here we are: as far from the homeland as we could.
It was an old dream - always wanted to give it a go. Never quite made it (other dreams: Madagascar, Borneo, Easter Island, Amazonian ...)
The whole thing was smooth and did not feel much of a change: yes, for a few more weeks we are living on suitcases - but since we are quite used to travelling, camping and working on-the road it is not too difficult to cope with.
The place feels great - weather is inviting (mind you - we came from Scotland...) and getting straight into work is not too hard either: universities are becoming so uniformed that 'This could be Rotterdam or anywhere / Liverpool or Rome / 'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere / Anywhere alone...''
The eclectic, multinational mix makes Auckland (and New Zealand) a place to enjoy great range of good food but in a relaxed way.... So the coming weeks will be devoted to exploring the food scene, getting flats, cars and things sorted... lets see how things work down here...
