Hey Y'all (yes, I'm traveling with lots of ppl from Georgia so I'm allowed to say y'all)
Anyway, just a short update.
I've been pretty busy with class every morning this week. Yesterday we went to the 2009 World Busker's Festival in the evening. It was soo funny, and there were some amazing clown/mimes, acrobats, and just weird performers. I ate a yummy falafal pita from a Lebanese vendor and then a delicious dark chocolate banana crepe from a french vendor. They have quite a selection of food here in christchurch. Another busy day today but hopefully we'll get to go out and have some fun tonight for my birthday at midnight! Can't believe I'm going to be 21. How did I get so old? (and yes Pete, you're still older : D )
Well, I'm terribly sorry to run but I must get to class.
Cheers,
Kate

Never! We are now the same age.
We're so old that if we walked into an antiques shop, they'd sell us.
we're so old that we didn't study history when we began school because there was no history to study.
we're so old that when we were born, the dead sea just had a cough.
we're so wrinkly that we have to screw on our underwear.
Face the facts. You're ancient. Elderly. Archaic. If you were a wine, you would have peaked years ago and turned to vinegar by now.
You were born three decades ago. The Perestroika had just begun.(Famous economic development. The USSR? Gorbachev? Yeah, the USSR still existed when you were born...) Oh, yes. Ronald Reagan was the president on the day you were born. And for a year after.
Say not that you are young. We are both quickly approaching middle age. Soon, we will not want candles on our cakes to remind us of our age. 40 will come upon us both like the plague, followed soon by 75, 100, and possibly 115 if our old vinegary bodies haven't shriveled up into raisins by then.
The number of candles on any birthday cake at that point (at age 40, that is) would make the fire department's presence mandatory. But heck, they'd already be at the old folks' home cuz the forgetful guy with the lisp pulled the alarm...
Ciao!
E ngau kino nei te aroha,
