ANZAC Weekend

Not much exciting over the past week, I am now getting settled into a routine with work. Finally earning some money, so now I can start to plan time off and little trips to get some New Zealand experiences in!

I have been here 6 weeks already! Crazy! Suitcases are put away and my apartment is becoming more homey :) I finally bought bedding & towels so I don't have to borrow anymore and now things are "mine".

Soccer is going well, I get lots of playing time. We had 2 games this weekend. The girls on the team have been helpful getting me to and from games and training.

It is a long weekend here: ANZAC weekend
A- Australian NZ- New Zealand AC- Army Corps

People wear poppies and there is a service at dawn. Although they still celebrate Remembrance Day here in November, it is not a public holiday and not as widely attended as ANZAC Day. I have noticed there are many "ANZAC streets" here in NZ.
