Life the universe and everything in between

Well im bordering the two 2month barrier since being submersed in the Netherlands and Europe now.  How does one feel at this point in time? Well with 4 weeks remaining before some considerable decisions and directions that need to be clarified, I must say im feeling rather relaxed and at easy with life’s pace, direction and abiguity at the moment.

There have been a considerable amount of challenges since my first day here but some thoroughly unique experiences and times spent traveling and meeting new people and countries. One of the biggest hurdles was at quite a primitive simplistic level really. My diet. Okay so ive always had a choice in what to eat while here, But imagine for a moment Ninas food pyrimid. Being vegeterian and rather health conscious of what i put into my body i can confidently say that 70% of my daily intake was fresh fruit and veges. The other 30% was in the form of  pulses, yoghurt, eggs, of soya products. Evidently not much of a Dairy or processed/complex carbohydrates fiend. So picturing that lovely pyrimid of mine …  now throw it upside down, shake it around a little and drop kick it :P  and (bluntly put) you have Bread Cheese and Potatoes. :P  :) So prior to taking off to Spain and Portugal i made a conscious decision to happily return to my own pallete.

An exciting discovery i made today whilst on my run was that Spring is litterally about to spring! All the disiduous trees i passsed had the inklings of tiny tiny green shoots peaking out from the tips of their limbs. I actually felt genuinely uplifted with anticipation for a season which is something ive never really felt before, in that way.  …On second thought maybe it was all the endorphins pumping through my viens :)  Hmmmm on that note another positively wonderful thing that fights homesickness and the lonely kiwi syndrome is 2hour phone calls with mums, acompanied by 1 & 0.5 hour calls to dads and to brothers.

Oh yeah and this Monday i am bound for Amsterdamn with an agency interview at 1400hours and contacts to cross paths with. Every one seems to say ‘theres Holland and then theres Amsterdamn’….  i am yet to experience and decided upon that myself

Anyways thats my  2 euro cents for today, Hope your all safe and well out there.
