Keeping it old skool.

I have to say one of the best things about this trip is that we have NZ mobiles, but only our families have the number. Makes it a reeeeaalll holiday. Having come from London, where I had a personal mobile, work mobile/PDA, work email, instant messenger, work landline and of course face-to-face communication all happening at once during each work day, it's rather nice to drop it down to one email account only, with the odd text from Mum and Dad coming in*.

And it's also been quite nice to go back to the pre-mobile ways of meeting up with people: you actually choose a place and time to meet. It's quite remarkable.


* this is not to say that I don't love you all when you call/text of course, just nice to slow life down a bit for three months.
