Anti-

I suppose I should back up a bit. I accepted this job at a hotel, but I only lasted a day. For the wage they offered, it just didn't seem worth it, especially since I would have to pay $150 a month to take the train there. Also, I would either be catching the 5:30am train or catching the late bus after 11pm depending on the shift I worked. The hotel was nice, and the people there were quite friendly, but the majority of them spoke broken English. It just wasn't the job I was looking for...so I didn't sign the contract.

Tomorrow, the job hunt begins again.

The day I quit turned out to be a good day actually. I went to a black sand beach for the first time ever. Two brothers, Mo and Sam, went with me to Piha. I can't wait until it gets warmer so I can go back without a jacket on. I love how some of the pictures came out.

My first glance at Piha from the road.

My first handful of black sand! :)

Many people die in this surf, but it supposedly has some of the best waves for surfing. I think I'll stick to wading.

It was kind of cold and very windy if you can't tell.

Messing with mother nature...

Are you suprised I'm mocking it?

This picture was taken from half way up Lion's Rock. You aren't allowed to go any higher than this anymore.

The amazing view from halfway. I wish I was allowed to go all the way, but that climb looked a bit terrifying. I saw two girls go up, but I like feeling safe.
