side dish: FREE STUFF

well it thought that i would give a wee insight into how much free stuff i have gotten... i swear i have a talent guys. ;) this is also my chance to give props to all those who gave me the free stuff. (i will try my best to remember all your names)

1. internet - SI (wanaka), Sam/random backpacker (raglan), the various houses i stayed at (funk's, miller's, baigent's, schmidt's, stevens', wewege's and the other friendly people who i might have missed but nonetheless took me in and shared that wonderfull thing of "internet access")

2. food - this is pretty much all the above and most everybody i met. i am a food monster what can i say? mmm food... thank you!

3. drinks - being a girl can be sweet... as i have said before, i guess i just inspire generousity BUT i will tell you that i never asked strangers to buy me things and i stayed classy about it. (this is important ladies)

4. surfing lessons - SAM! and the other raglan boys... you guys made my week there. thanks for putting up with me and my crazy hyperness. sorry to the surf school guys if i got you in trouble for lending me them boards. teehee... it was much appreciated though.

5. car rides - from a lovely maori girl in wellington when my bus decide to leave me, (i would ahve missed my flight if it wasnt for her) and various others who have been generous to me and i am oh so grateful! you are all angels to me!

6. Hugs - these have been good. all you kiwis and teh others have shown me amazing love and I will try to never forget each and everyone of you. serious guys, NZ would have sucked or come close to sucking if it wasnt for you all.

7. photos - the "free" part of it is all those cool-as cats sho burnt me a cd of their photos or sent me some via email... it is thanks to you that i can remember this trip forever!

8. life lessons - this was given by all... whether they knew it or not and it is simply "good for me."

9. misc. - jandals x 2 (hostel and basement bar, clothes (thanks to alixx and sonya), towel from
hmm so thats all the free stuff i can think of right now... but i didnt even touch on the amazing support from people back home and also believing in me for this trip. (thank you)
