Back in NZ

To all the people who have been wondering where I have gotten to lately:
1. Shut up
2. I am back in NZ, revelling in the abundance of barbeques, jandals and .

Since I got back I have been wondering what I could post on this blog that would sum up what it's like to be back in New Zealand. Then at the gym the other day I saw something that perfectly captured what I was feeling:

A Maori guy working out in the midday heat while wearing a swandri. Yep, that's as Kiwi as it gets.

Here is a picture of a swandri for those of you who are not familiar (it is a heavy bush jacket, typically seen on hunters, farmers, and citizens of small New Zealand towns)
