Moving on...
and today is my last day at this work.
It's been a good year - a few downs but many great ups - so overall, no regrets!
Many firsts to this joh:
First public sector experience
Attended my first powhiri (a formal, full-fledged Maori welcome) - loved it:)
Also attended a whakatau - my first (non-formal Maori welcome) - love that too.
Experienced my first hongis - Maori greeting, where you touch noses - this was a beaut blend of West and indigenous - even while we touch noses, we are simultaneously shaking hands with that person.
Oh many more actually, with the last being my farewell that is planned for today.
No doubt, I will miss some of my colleagues here acutely...
New role beckons - excited, nervous, etc. - the whole works...
Wish me luck!!
