Day two was almost like I was back home again. It was spent hanging out with family, patting horses, going to the beach, texting friends, getting a fringe trim, having a BBQ and playing drinking games. Not the kind of things I would have expected to be doing on my second day into my big OE! But no complaints. The thing that kept reminding me just where I was though was the endless Kiwi / Aussie battles over our bloody language differnces and slag. Duvet / Duna, Txt / SMS, Jandals / Thongs, Chilly Bin / Eski, Sunbathe / Sunbake, Right / Wrong. Another amusing incident was when I picked that one of the drinking game contestants has some kiwi blood in him. I had a lot of fun teasing him with the fact that I could tell because he looks like he had some Maori blood in him. This horrified him as Maoris have quite the rep over here for being pretty crazy people.
