Still alive

It's been a week since I landed.  I am currently on a bus headed to Rotorua, so please forgive any spelling errors.

My week in Auckland was busy but not really eventful.  Walked around places and learned their transport System decently well.  Spent most of the time getting ready for my year here.  Got an actual cell phone, finally, but most people message me on other platforms. I'm not worried about giving out my number unless you ask.  Also installed whatsapp of anyone wants to use that.

Beyond that ( ooh driving by a theme park) I got a bank account and applied for a tax number so I can actually work.  Applied to several jobs and only got one full on rejection so far.  Though they said I should keep looking at there career page. Also researched more" back packers " jobs.  Lots of farm work which could be fun.

I did join up to a board game group on meetup.com. tried going to two different event.  First was a small get together at a store, but bad weather kept people away.  ( rain and wind...) Other  group was better.  About thirty people were there though half were playing miniature games.  Saw warhammer and blood bowl.  Wasn't as much of a community as Stormgate, no intermingling or switching groups up but that may have been just that meeting.  Still Games so yay.

 As of now, I'll be in Rotorua around 5 pm. Found a nice hostel, though not as cheap as an airbnb I'm hoping I can meet some people there.  I'llapply to some jobs and do the tourist thing.  Next time should have pictures also.
