Hurray, hurray, it's a holi, holiday (well, nearly). I've handed out my last report, given my last pep talk to my last lazy student and done all the paperwork involved in wrapping up the academic year. We still have a week and a half of intensive courses and odd jobs but what the hey!
Sometime next week we all have to go to the post office and send telegrams of resignation - it seems everyone has to do this, Argentine and foreigner - I guess it's so that there is an official record somewhere. And all the people who are staying on next year have to go to the police station, be fingerprinted and get a police report saying they are honest/not a criminal (it might even be checked through interpol, who knows?). I remember when I was in Egypt we had to have AIDS tests - only applicable to foreigners because Egyptians don't get AIDS - go figure.
My journey home is planned except for the Australia/New Zealand leg - any suggestions or information about where to go and what to see while there would be warmly welcomed.
Oh, and if you want a copy of my itinerary, let me know.

Stumbled over yr blog whilst doing a vanity google -- there's so few Shiralees that I was surprised when you were neither that singer... or me.
Anyway -- re your travels through my end of the world -- NZ is easy -- go anywhere and it's beautiful. Highlights from my own return home to NZ last xmas -- Fjiordland, the South Island generally (it was wall to wall spring flowers and chocolate box landscapes), the ferry between Wellington and Picton, sky diving in Taupo (I'm yr age-ish btw ;-P), Tongariro National Park (all the parts are great). Be aware tho that even in summertime NZ can be cold and rainy.
Opposite problem in Australia -- we're having a drought but this summer has already started dramatically with flashflooding and fires. Personally in summertime I head for Tasmania (or europe ;-P)
Have a great holiday and good luck
