Officially like a Kiwi

I feel officially like a Kiwi! Sara and I opened up New Zealand bank accounts and applied for IRD numbers (number for tax purposes). We're getting everything in line to work when we get to the south Island. We booked a ferry ride in 2 days to get us to the south island. The lady at the bank was extremely helpful. She took 1.5 hrs helping us and explaining everything (at least 10x). Everyone here has been extremely nice. We can't get over how genuine everyone is. Last night we arrived in Wellington (the capital). Today we spent the day being tourists here. We went to the Te Papa museum. It's one of the coolest museums that I've ever been to. It's very interactive and informative. Their prize exhibit is having the only giant squid on display. They had this awesome exhibit teaching kids why they should be thinking about the environment. They had a trash relay game just like at Teva! Afterward we took the cable car to the botanical garden. My nose was in heaven. The smells of the flowers made my nose have a party!

I'm excited to head to the south island tomorrow! Farewell...
