That teaching graduation had been a pain in the backside and I will free as a bird and ready to roll again. The Mobil petrol station with its blue backlights and the distan train that looks like a toy from noddy books and the eden park and the house in the distance from the binoculars (Iselta’s) look beautiful. I am planning to move to South Auckland and change students’ lives there. I love the relative flatness of South Auckland. Mom is fine and it is pouring in Mumbai but this time the government jokers have got their sanitation and drainage right.
Crime is rising in Auckland. There was an incident of some 15 yr old throwing a concrete from the bridge on the Motorway and killing a guy. Twin kiddies got murdered. Policemen have been hit. Teachers attacked. It’s drug and/or alcohol. Prison guards make as much money as teachers and ultimately if you look at it: both jobs are exactly the same.
