Take a hike.

I do think its time for Erich to get out. We talked about it last night and he agrees. So we're going to buy him a ticket, arrange accomodation and friends and a route and send him around the south island on an exciting sightseeing train trip! Yes, like a holiday. What did you think I meant?!?

Its not easy being in a whole new country, and living in our small apartment doesnt help with feeling powerless and stuck here. A whirlwind introduction to the real NZ may well help Erich better decide if NZ is for him or not :-)
