and now that I have come to understand more of the New Zealand ways of life, I see that all people want to do is graduate then do their OE "Overseas Experience" in London.
For me, I take it that I have already done this "OE" since I moved here from Malaysia for university. So the last thing I wanted to do was uproot again. However, because you see their travel stories, it makes me think maybe, just maybe, I might do it.
It is picking up hobbies that actually makes me want to stay in a place for long. For example, recently, I have been reading up on gardening. I bought a mint plant and am trying to keep it alive for once. If you are like me, who loves food, but hates dirt and all things insects, you will understand how this will be challenging hobby. But I love trying new things, so this will be my 2016 to do list!
I have picked up some wooden pallets (heat treated so that it is safe to use) and decided on building a salad table. This is because they are all moveable and shallow planting, i.e. less soil!
My goal, is to have some kale, baby spinach, lettuce, coriander and basil. I'm not sure when I will complete this project though. In the mean time, I am trying to save my little mint plant from dying.
Some people are not meant to plant, i.e. me (I have gone through 2 mint plants and an oregano) but this year I am trying to change things.
Do you feel this way about planting too?
