Hi everyone I'm from beautiful Aotearoa, New Zealand. I work in a busy café and restaurant in Christchurch in the South Island of N.Z. I serve many tourists so would be useful for me to learn other languages. I learnt Japanese for 4 years at school but I've forgottten most of it. Hola a todos espero algún día poder viajar a varios países en Sudamerica, Centro America y EE.UU. Quiero aprender más español.¡Yo siempre necesito ayuda con el español! y claro puedo ayudar ustedes con el inglés. Chau.

Religion
  • Everyone should have the right to worship their God without fear of persecution so long as they don't force their doctrine down others peoples throats. I believe in the separation of church and state.
Politics
  • Genrally pretty liberal socially but fiscally I'm conservative. I don't think that governments should wastefully spend money(ie through bailouts etc) and dictate to people how to live (or spy on them) I believe strongly in individual rights. I believe strongly in democracy and excercising your right to vote (and to protest if neccessary) To all people apathetic about politics remember that politicians love you the most because you don't ask questions!! you will happily accept the status quo eventhough they might be f$#ing you. Dissent is the greatest form of patrisom: Thomas Jefferson. If I was a US citizen I'd probably be a Ron Paul supporter. Eventhough I'm a Kiwi I've always been fascinated with American politics.
    Long live the comedy and the insights of the late great Bill Hicks 1961-1994 R.I.P
