See, what did I tell you about shopping there

Man… why dun have anything like that in NZ…

Gotta love the accent, eh. When I was there, once I had a guy (customer) over the phone asking if he could call me sometime… for going out for a coffee or something.
It was all becuase of the accent…

Gidday Stephen. I’ve been wandering around today asking if anyone knew how you were getting along in the US of A and someone said: “Oh, he’s got a blog that is very entertaining.” “So what is the URL?” I said.

So here I am, having been well entertained by your adventures and immersion in a different culture. Reading of your “discoveries” about the quirks of American life remind me of my own adventures in years past. Yes,one must be careful, as innocent comments/remarks can play differently when “translated” locally and there are some BIG cultural differences.

Good on you for sticking with your vow to buy a hybrid car and then mastering the technique for extracting maximum economy. Perhaps a long antenna with a flag on the top might be a useful accessory so that the locals in their 7 litre “trucks” can see where you are.

Your view looks nice and I have a good idea of where you are in Rockwall now. Comfortable pad by the look of it too.

Keep up the blog - it’s great entertainment and has a certain familiarity to times past for me. I trust that all is well on the work front too.

Oh - your eclairs are missed….

Cheers & best wishes

Well Steve, you have achieved so much in such a short period of time. Well done. Here goes a toast!!!

Nice views.

Very nice small place you have there, Steve!!! Just big enough for you.

Do you have neighbours??? Have you met them yet???

All the best for you.
