We had Hungi and it was delish!

Kia Ora and hello,

Hungi is a type of ceremonial food eaten by the Maori people.
We were invited to one because Alissa works with people who were having Hungi.
Basically this is a ceremony where an animal is sacrificed and cooked in the earth, below ground, for hours. We had some vegetables, chicken, and mutton and it was awesome, full of flavor. Everyone in Alissa's work place was there having a grand ol time. Our friend taz and amy baked cakes to bring the party. The funny thing was that it was my first time driving in the night AND uphill so taz spilled some of her cupcakes in our car haha. Anyhow, the funniest thing was that, there were little 3 year olds running around where people consumed beer, loud techno music, and lots and lots of fattening foods.

I am also getting much better at snowboarding. This is a breakthrough! Yup, Im not gonna lie, I am a little jealous of Alissa's experience in NZ opposed to mine. Im not talking about the quality of the work, but just the overall experience. I know what you're thinking, the experience is what you make out of it. Well, that's easier said then done. Let me explain. I work with some of the most bossiest, bitchiest people I know. Not to mention I think Im getting screwed over due to that twat management. But, I also don't want to move out either. This is because we already got to be friends with a lot of people here, just that my work people made me more depressed than I ever was in a long time, feel alone and abandoned, and I think the work dynamic was even changing me to a more insecure person than a secure, confident person I am. We're gonna have pizza tonight, and Im going to to have to talk to the head manager tomorrow and Im quiting my job if I don't get what I was promised, at the minimum...which are my days off. Don't worry, I'll look for a job elsewhere Mom/Dad/Dana/Friends. But they need to know where my limits are.

c ya,
Jalissa
