Thought it was time to let you know what's happening at the moment… <\/p>\n
First of all – you can now follow this on my personal domain, chocolate dream<\/a>, where I've created a much nicer looking mirror of this travel log<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now to my big trip of this year. My plans to go to New Zealand<\/b> for the required field trip exercise for my major Cultural Anthropology have been shaping up nicely. Those interested in the study stuff – I've created a study journal<\/a>, though mainly for my own benefits.<\/p>\n I'll be leaving on August 11, arriving in Auckland on Aug 13. I'll stay in NZ's biggest city for two nights, and then catch a bus southwards, to New Plymouth. My friend Denise, who I've met almost four years ago in California, has been helping me a lot, and I'm lucky enough to be able to stay with her and her family for the month I'll be in New Zealand. This means that I'll be based in New Plymouth, from where I'll do my study about Maori knowledge and hopefully see a bit of the country, too.<\/p>\n I'll stay in NZ until September 10, when I'll head over to Sidney<\/b> for a month of traveling up the East coast, until I head back to Switzerland on October 7. I hope to be able to meet up with Adam and Willa, who I met in Washington, DC, last fall, but mainly I want to see bit of Australia and catch a bit of sun – after all, it's winter down there…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thought it was time to let you know what's happening at the moment… First of all – you can now follow this on my personal domain, chocolate dream, where I've created a much nicer looking mirror of this travel log.
