Things I am looking forward to in New Zealand (a partial list)
- fresh, clean air
- the ability to communicate effortlessly with almost everyone
- whole grain breads (seriously, Asia: why the obsession with white bread, and white bread only?)
- not being immediately recognizable as a tourist before I even open my mouth.
- the possibility of perhaps being alone somewhere
- poached eggs for breakfast
- brushing my teeth with water straight out of the tap
- a complete absence of temples to visit
