Yes that's already passed, one month back to my roots and back in wintery New Zealand.

The beginning of Summer in Europe was very pleasant, some really hot days peaking at 35 degrees, it was all good to me!
Rebonding with the family was just necessary after this long, and I cherished every moment with them! When do we go back again?! 6 months isn't it?!
We re-visited some places and castles and that made me realize more than ever that "my country rocks" in its way! Only in France for some things!

Well ok, I'm back to winter, but let me tell you this.... Winter here has absolutely nothing to do with France. Mild temperatures, it gets cold during the nights, maybe 2/3 degrees but you can get some good 14 degrees during the days. The fire is going the whole day though...

After a long 1 year, I finally had the Canadian Permanent Residency, that was always my backup plan. Well back up plan is in the pocket! Yes yes yes, Europe can collapse such as Australasia, we have a ticket to live somewhere else!
Have to enter the country before a certain date, meaning a good trip in the States again! Wooohoooo! Can't get enough of there!

Diving is now far away in my mind, don't have any opportunity ahead for now. One day it will be my time for it, I know and I stick to that!

I took the DAEFLE exam during my period in France, results mid September. Long time to wait still.

Next step here, renew my work visa. It should be quite easy.

Hasta luego!
