Assimilation

You know you're slowly assimilating into kiwi life when:
- you're itching to find out what happens next on Shortland Street (and you're excited that Hone Ropata's back)
- your hiking get-up includes thermal leggings under shorts
- 'sweet', 'far out' and 'yeah nah' feature regularly in your vocabulary
- you forget what it's like to share the road with other vehicles, but it's not too odd to share it with farm animals
- you've lost track of a lot of what's going on in the rest of the world
- you go to the supermarket barefoot
- it's normal for it to be freezing cold in July
- you drive the 100m to the cornershop (I'm never going to be kiwi enough to call it the 'dairy')
