First Post

Hello everyone,

That's a lovely accent you have. New Jersey? Austria. Austria! Well, then. G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie! Let's not.

If you don't recognize that line, then right now you should go watch Dumb and Dumber, one of my favorite movies of all time. Actually, I understand if you completely detest that movie (maybe you just weren't in the right mood at the time). Regardless, the quote introduces one of the destinations on my next adventure, Austria (or is it Australia?).

All right. At this moment I am in New Zealand in the city of Wellington, which is where the great Peter Jackson hails from and where the LOTR movies were first shown. It is January 22 today, but I left the US on January 9. Thus, I have some catching up to do. I'll try my best to get caught up with my blogging. In the meantime, feel free to check out my first blog detailing my trip to Southeast Asia at http://nmobrien.blogspot.com. (Disclaimer: the disclaimer I emphasized in the other blog about spelling and punctuation applies to this one as well)

Yes, it should be Australia. They speak German in Austria, where Mozart used to live, I think. hehe.

I am excited for you. This sounds like a really cool trip. Ilana told me about hers in NZ. She said she had leaches all over her head at one point. I hope you'll fare better.

Take care,
Xixi
