Shawn and I have arrived in Auckland on the North Island. Auckland is definitely the most urban stop on our journey with 1 million of New Zealand’s 4 million inhabitants. Some of our plans include learning to surf, hanging out on the West coast beach (Piha) and possibly checking out a few local vineyards.
I wanted to take a moment to clarify the meaning behind “Too Easy.” New Zealanders have interesting usage of particular words or phrases. It akin to how Americans abbreviate things and have acronyms for everything. The phrase, Too Easy can mean pretty much anything from a greeting to a thank you. Likewise New Zealanders use similes but drop off the comparative part of the simile, for example “Sweet as” describing something that would be cool or awesome or “Cheap as” describing something that is inexpensive.
Too easy,
Scott
Thanks for the explanation.! What fun it must be to see how others in other countries live and communicate.
What an adventure this has been for you and Shawn! It’s a great thing that he likes to do many of the same adventurous things you like to do.
Have a safe trip home!
Love You,
Mom
