"Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler, belonging no more to one place than the next, moves slowly, over periods of years from one part of the earth to another." -Paul Bowles

I miss shopping!!!
Man, do I miss shopping back home. There is more shopping in Orland Park than there is in all of Auckland!! I started to shop for a wedding dress, then just gave up and ordered one from Nordstroms. Seriously, we went to the biggest mall in Auckland...and it seriously blew. They don't have department stores in their malls down under. They have grocery stores! There...is...fuck...all...here.

Hey there! How are you doing? That totally sucks about shopping (or lack thereof). If you want anything from the UK let me know. I am now STRUGGLING over thesis. God when will this hell be over?! Well, it's gotta be over by Aug 31 as that's the due date, but hoping to wrap it up a week earlier so I have some breathing time. Hope all is well. "Hi" to Steve.
Trust me, when the thesis is over and done, you'll forget all about how challenging it was. Only a few more weeks! Things are good here---enjoying Auckland despite the poor shopping.
I bet Leeds and it's shops doesn't seem so bad now huh? hahaha :-)
