So far the 'working holiday' has been mostly holiday... but the time intensive task of securing a job will begin seriously on Monday. Job hunting really is like a full time job - regular email checking, scanning countless advertisements, applying and so on. Will update on the progress soon.
After an agonising wait to see if the cricket would play with SO much rain yesterday, at 5:47pm the announcement was posted that the game would commence at 6:47pm, each team playing 22 overs. The ground was far from packed but enthusiasm was high as only the really committed turned out to see it. Aussie posted a fairly decent score, but even with a few key wickets dropped early on our chase was impressive. The row of aussies (and a stray South African supporting Australia... ??) in front of us quickly regretted their earlier mockery and fell quiet as the 4's piled up much to our delight.
Unfortunately the rain returned with only 6 overs to play, which was a massive dissapointment as the kiwis were easily on their way to victory with an average 10-12 runs an over when play was stopped. Would LOVE to go to the 20/20 in Sydney tomorrow but knowing the price of attending a sporting event now it may have to wait...
It was a brilliant event despite the weather, and further reinforcing the belief that it is, indeed, a small world, we ran into Rei kitted out in Bowler beige brigade gears outside the ground. Classic!
