Today was a wet day. We had a nice, mellow BBQ at home. I met some nice people, friends of the hostess, and got the impression that they really like the jobs they have. Nurse, electrician, boat builder, seed seller... it was very interesting. Then I reverted to being an American and started thinking about myself again. I thought I might be interested in becoming a paramedic here. NZ is in need of paramedics, so it could be an avenue to residency if I chose that route. Then again I could just marry a rich New Zealander, not work at all and still get residency... CHOICES!
But really, I am already starting to plan for my next destination. I will probably go North, to the Bay of Islands. It looks wonderful. Here are some (commercial) pictures of it:
