THE HOOD and a SIGN











THE HOOD...I live at 259A Kepa Road in Mission Bay, Auckland with Tony, and flatmate, Louise, whose house you see in the picture, and her two cats McFluffy and Miko. We live very close to Eastridge Mall which has a grocery and coffee shops and video store, and where the bus thankfully comes (since driving isn't going so well).

A GUESSING GAME FOR ALL...

Can you guess what the sign "No trundlers beyond this point" means? If so, you get to be a HONORARY KIWI!!

Cheers for now!

The first rule, ALWAYS LOOK RIGHT!







When you try to drive on the "wrong side" you discover just what a creature of habit you are.

At all times, think SKINNY left (turn) and WIDE right (turn).

Go clockwise around the ROUNDABOUTS, yield to the cars coming at you from the right, signal left to go straight through, left then right to turn right. JEEZ...

And here's the rub, EVERYTHING IS OPPOSITE, not just driving. When you walk on the street, you need to walk on the other side so as not to run into people.

The lock on the "loo" turns to the left not the right. Even pencil sharpeners are turned the opposite way!

It's all part of the BIG ADVENTURE!
