So it's really Thursday, but since I have Friday and Saturday off work...it's my Friday, baby. And it's a rainy Thriday so it's about time to curl up with a movie and a mug of hot chocolate.
BUT FIRST.
Two fun random facts about New Zealand:
NZ's total population is about 4.4 million people, 1.4 million of which live in Auckland, another 2 million of which live on the North Island - which means that a measly million of us get the South Island all to ourselves (although we do have to share it with some 17 million sheep...). Baaah, doesn't matter.
Lots of Maori words have a wh in them, which is pronounced like an f. So, for example, Whangarai is pronouced fahn-gah-rai. One of my favorites is probably "whakapapa" (fah-kah-pah-pah), which means "geneology" and is also the name of a ski area on Mt. Ruapehu.
