Getting Started

So, I've been here two and a half weeks now and I have started to get myself sorted out with practicle things. One of the first things on my list to buy was a car! You definately need one living round here. Trade me (NZ equivalent to ebay) sells everthing and I mean everything - people sell their houses on trade me and this is where I got my car. For those who are interested its a 1996 Toyota Rav 4, 2ltr, 3dr, 4wd in a burgendy colour. For those just interested in how it looks, here's a picture:

The picture was taken just a couple of minutes round the coast from where I live!

I have also submitted my visa application which I should here about soon and I have also found a place to rent! (Pictures and more details to follow soon).

I move into the new place on 9/10th Feb and so have had to get a few bits to go in there like a computer which I'm typing on now (from trade me), a desk to put my computer on (from trade me), and a bed to sleep in (bet you can't guess where I got it from!) ;o)

I have Kiwi bank accounts set up ready for my salary to go in to. So as you can tell, I'm pretty much set up fpr the next little while.
