February 29 2008: Back To Mundanity
Filed under Travel
Well, I’m home.
It’s a slight letdown - I seem to somehow be seeing the world through different eyes post-New Zealand. There’s something about continuously throwing caution to the wind and putting your life in fate’s hands that changes a person. It’s hard to look death in the eyes, then come back to mundanity and the day-to-day toil.
I’m hoping this black mood will pass over fairly quickly. I hate feeling shit, and more importantly, I hate knowing that I’m making other people miserable by doing nothing other than complaining about “poor me” all the time. I simply don’t do self-pity - swallowing any misgivings and getting on with life is a much more practical method and one I’ve always lived by.
I will, fingers crossed, have gradual installments of the great tale of “My Trip To New Zealand, Exclamation Mark, Exclamation Mark, One, One, Tilde” coming over the next couple of days. Complete with photos of course, and perhaps short mini-videos of my bungee experience if I can get my camera to cooperate.
Until then, please visit the lovely people who I had the fortune of meeting whilst in Kiwi-land: Nellie, Rilla and Emily.
Looking death in the eye?? Er… that’s not a very good incentive for going to New Zealand… What happened?
I can’t wait for your stories by the way :) Welcome baaaaack!

I always feel exactly the same after I come back from another country. It’s just so sad to leave some place that was so wonderful and fun and NEW. I know how you feel…so self-pity away!

I agree, it must be so weird and like a let down when you come from some great exciting place back to the normalities of life.
I want lots of picspam and videos *nod* :D

When you live here, it’s not that exciting.
Probably doesn’t help that I live in Hamilton, but still! :P

Well, at least there’s less sheep around now. ;p

Time always passes by so quickly when you’re having fun. I bet time went to fast for you that it looked like you only left yesterday for NZ.
Can’t wait to see the photos and videos!
