Merry Christmas from Wellington, NZ

Well I made it back to New Zealand in one piece. After a short stop in Singapore to see friends and eat lots of yummy food I arrived back in Wellington on the 11th Dec.
Reverse culture shock? Where are all the people?
Apart from that it was pretty easy to come home and great to catch up with lots of friends before Christmas. A summer BBQ on the weekend was a great way to get back into the swing of things - even if I did have to assemble the BBQ myself.
Wellington may not have as many exciting stories for me to write about but I'll do my best. The politcal situation seems rather tame compared to Manila (thank goodness), Helen (PM) is down in the polls and Tau has been named bad boy of the year. The local newspaper is supporting a campaign to ban whale fishing by Japan. No typhoons yet but a lot of rain - good for the farmers.
Hello to my friends in Manila - I miss you. Merry Christmas!
