Auckland, Big Little City

For my first post, I'll try to work on something casual like who we are! Right, that would be an interesting topic to discuss, for us at least :p

My other half (which I will refer as my wife) and I are pure Indonesian breed, who met each other about 4+ years ago, and finally got married 6 months ago, yes that's right, we are newly wedded happy couple. After spending 20+ years in Indonesia, we had an opportunity to move and work overseas and as you can guess, we took it. So from April 2010 I moved to a new country - which I honestly don't know where before - called New Zealand. It was hard at first, especially for tropical weather born man like me, but luckily my wife joined me 4 months later.

Auckland is - like said by many - the biggest city in the New Zealand. I like its laid back lifestyle and the natural wonder. Well, I won't spoil all the fun we have in New Zealand here, just wait and we'll show it to you.

People who know me well should know that I'm not a natural-born blogger, I don't like to spend 30 minutes typing in front of a laptop and posting something about myself which will be read by others! It freaks me out. So why now? Why travel? That's a simple question, because I've just realized that world is soooo big! And our time is limited, so why don't we start to pack up, and travel.

View from my (our) office taken with my HTC Desire Android phone. Auckland is well known as sailing capital of the world. I hope I can finally have the opportunity to rent a boat and sail! That should be fun!

Here's a much better view from the exact same spot. Can you see the sea? And the sky? It's awesome isn't it.
