Hello America,
I am Nikolas from the beautiful Black Forest in Germany. You might not know where that is, because our VIPs are not Ali G., who is often compared with me, or Austin “Danger” Powers, whose Mojo I poses, but even more sophisticated personalities like the nameless inventor of the Black Forest Cake. So I hope you understand that coming to New Zealand was a cultural shock for me. Nevertheless I started to enjoy the company of sweet little sheep and wooly Annika. I will miss them.
Come to Germany, it’s “nice” - noooot!
Hello world,
I am Pubudu, a flat mate of Annika’s. I am originally from Sri Lanka though I have lived in Europe before coming to New Zealand. I have been in NZ for about 9 years and I’m the most “kiwi” flatter here. I study physics because I’m pretty much too lazy to do anything else. When I’m not dealing with symmetries and unitary matrices I play this crazy game called cricket, which I’m not going to even attempt to explain. Wikipedia knows all. Not much else to say or do, until 2009, when a friend and I will be driving from somewhere in Thailand to Calais, hope to see you all along the way.
This is Jake from Texas. I normally go to a military college in Virginia so coming to New Zealand
for the semester was a nice breather. After these last few exams I will be Junior. I was the young one in the flat at 19. I love the relaxed atmosphere here in NZ. Its common for kiwis to go to the store or other public places barefoot. Kiwis are still in love with the mullet. The outdoor activities here are amazing. I’ve experienced some sailing, diving, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, caving, absailing and enjoyed every thrilling moment.
Hi everyone, my name is Neil. I come from a country which can be reached by just dig a deep hole through the core of the Earth from USA. I have been living in New Zealand for five years and this is the last year for my degree. Everyone who comes here would love the great scenery of “Middle-Earth” and the relax life styles. Lastly, Welcome you all to the 2008 Olympic Games.(more from Nikolas about Colleen…)
Colleen, our beloved flat mother.
When I first arrived in the flat it was dark and grey, but then I met Neil. And it was still dark and grey. But after changing my traveling clothes (30h flight) and taking a shower, Annika and Colleen surprised me in the hallway and my life started to make sense again. Because this article is not about Annika, I stop writing about her. Colleen, born in the middle of nowhere in the beautiful state of Washington is a feminist science student, enjoying her time in New Zealand. I gonna miss her because she established a working community, supporting it with her fabulous cookies, brownies and cakes. I will also miss her Peanut
Cookies.
