I heart NZ

I'm soaked. Absolutely drenched to the bone. My shoes are falling apart and my jeans are falling down due to the weight of the rain they have collected. I'm finally home after travelling 50 minutes (standing up)  on an overcrowded, wet, noisy and smelly subway and walked 10 minutes in the pouring rain, dodging huge groups of drunk business men. I know for a fact that if I was home and had just completed the same journey I would be in the foulest of moods. But you know what I am ecstatic! I have had one of the best evening so far in Seoul and I feel great.

SHOWER TIME before I die of hypothermia.........

It's 11.30 pm, wow what a day, what a freaking awesome day.

Before I begin.

"Its so hard to be away, and I wish that I could stay 

But the weather is getting better and I think I need some space 

But ill be back again some day and everything will be the same"

Ladi 6 with Shapeshifter! From the moment I heard Shapey  I loved them. Seeing them perform live was breathtaking. Pure musical genius When ever I find myself in a panic or I simply want to hear a kiwi accent I press play on the i pod. Shapeshifter are always first preference. On the tube home I  had my eyes closed and found myself lost in these lyrics by Ladi 6. They seem so relevant to my situation right now. I realise that the song goes on to be a love story so I am not taking it literally but oh I just love it.

Just watching this video brings up so much emotion. Living in Seoul is like being in a polar opposite universe. These things just do not happen here. I love it here, I love the city life, the fast pace, the utter crazyness of it all, but deep down I bloody miss New Zealand and the culture that makes us Kiwi. I will be back again someday and everything will be the same. 

I did plan to recount my epic evening, but all I want to do now is play all my shapey songs and drift into a peaceful dream of Summer, the beach, my friends, my family and all that NZ represents.

He taonga whakamiharo
He tirohanga ki tuawhakarere
