Interesting! I have never listened to any artists/band from NZ before, I guess :blush:

Thanks a lot.

I am scared to listen to that! :P

How are you finding NZ?

 

Why that? It's not that bad I think! :P What NZ bands do you usually listen to?

 

Oh I absolutely adore your country! Last weekend I actually flew to your city Wellington to spend a weekend there. Nice city and the weather has been fantastic, too. I moved into a NZ family this week to get better language skills and to find out more about NZ life. The parents are emigrants from England and Scotland and that's why I have to keep my finger's crossed for West Ham United from now on lol. Furthermore I have two weeks off and I'm about to fly to Christchurch tomorrow in order to discover the South Island! Should be fun! Enjoy the weekend! Cheers man! :D
