Things I did in Auckland:
-Saw a production of Moliere's Tartuffe. Most outrageous, over the top adaptation EVER! (Imagine it with a kiwi accent!)
-Drank delicious New Zealand wine and ate spectacular New Zealand cheese.
-Saw a beautiful, elegant production of The Pitmen Painters, by Lee Hall who wrote the screenplay for Billy Elliot. Not only is the play hilarious, but it contains some of the best discussion about the purpose of art and who gets to decide what's good and what isn't that I've ever heard.
-Met up with Paul, a Brit friend of Kiwi Tim's, who used to live in Singapore. Got roaringly drunk.
-Met Santa
-Saw Wim Wenders tribute film to choreographer Pina Bausch.....in 3D!
-Helped "Occupy Auckland"
-Jumped off of a ridiculously high building.
Feel the fear and do it anyway...

It's a new and wonderful feeling to see you in my home city, up (and then off) a building I know so well, being spoken to by a Kiwi, and hear some Kiwi accent creeping into your speech! :-D
But most of all, it's wonderful to "see" "you"!
