I got over my jet-lag after one night’s sleep! Since New Zealand is more or less 12 hours ahead, I simply told my body I was coming off a night-shift (I used to work shifts) and slept right through to today. So, I now feel fine 
Spent the day looking at some house share and rental adverts, and looks promising, also - went on a tour of some of the areas (including my new desk) around Wellington today courtesy of Andrew. I must admit this is all looking extremely “COOL” and definitely like I made the right choice.
I’ll be looking at setting up my bank account on Monday in Wellington and then hiring a car. Not to mention house hunting in anger! if I can sort the digs out before the end of the week, then I could just chill out and do touristy things for the rest of the week before I start my job, (though I’ll definitely find time for some museums anyway!)…
Have yet to learn the “Haka” - but another shocking revelation about New Zealand folks!! Fish and Chips is practically the National dish out here?! So much for my healthy living and diet….Everywhere you go you will see a fish and chip shop on the corner of some street; not many pubs in site, though there’s no fear of losing those chippies!!

Glad to see you have made it safe and sound. I don’t think that you will stay that way if you keep calling the Haka ‘Hacker’ though. Chippies on every street corner? Yum!
Maybe they’re trying to make you feel at home?
I’m sure you’ll source out some pubs and once you’re sorted with diggs I’m sure you’ll sort out your “local”. Have you tried the fish & chips and how do they compare to ours?
