Over the next two weeks, I spent some time in Auckland with
the friends I had made. One evening in the middle of the week we decided to
have a girls night with dinner and wine. James wanted to come so we told him he
had to wear a dress. He did put on a pink dress for a brief period believe it
or not. We had a traditional Africans dish that was delicious.
That weekend on Friday Natalie had a flat warming party because
she had just moved. It was finally warm enough to spend the night on the deck. There
was sangria, hot dogs, and great company!
On Saturday I made a thanksgiving meal. My friends had never
had a thanksgiving and I was not going to have a full-on thanksgiving because I
will be in Cambodia. Now New Zealand does not have turkey so we had chicken,
but the meal was complete with stuffing and pumpkin pie. It was their first thanksgiving
even though it was in October! Instead of watching football we watched the
rugby game and I even attempted to learn a version of the Haka. It didn’t work
that well!
It was an awesome makeshift thanksgiving in October!
