Glad to see so many people who wanna come back to NZ! I'm hope some of you can get back soon and hang out in Hawkes Bay.
Anyway, I'm Azasu. I'm a Kiwi and I just came back home last year after about 5 years in Japan. I'm enjoying being back in NZ but I miss Japanese people a lot so Mixi is great for my Japanese fix.
Check out the ice cream I got today. It was only $2.80. Its TipTop Cookies & Cream made into real fruit ice cream with strawberries. Real fruit ice cream is starting to get quite popular this summer so if you're in NZ, keep and eye open for it. You can usually mix any Tip Top ice cream with all kinds of fruit. This shop is between Waikanae and Otaki, about 1 hour North of Wellington. If this doesn't make you want to come back to NZ, nothing will.
Anyway, look forward to making lots of Kiwi mad Japanese friends here.
