So Nakky continues to release videos on a Monday - entertaining and heart-felt ones I might add. I wanted to follow up with my last review, especially, because I messed up with the interpretation. (I ran into a few things). She has been saying for a while now that she was going to tour NZ by visiting several wwoofing locations. Somehow, in my head that got lost and I thought that she was looking to stay at one location.
(I don't post the video description text that Saki writes because this board software isn't capable of handling the emoji used).
She says that this place is wonderful. The host family is very talkative and cheerful. They are from England originally. She would stay here if she was staying in one place for a year straight.
She has her own little cottage with all the amenities. She's allowed to decide her own work schedule, so she works from 8:30 - 10:30 and then has a coffee break with the granny before heading back out
13:50 She misses some things about Japan, like their seasons, and foods. She is the type of person who enjoys exchanging holiday greetings with friends and family, like
yoi otoshio (Happy New Year).
She is intensely enamored with a Napier cafe's cacaoccino (never heard of it
). There is a clear delineation between flavours that she can detect, unlike the simple, sweet flavor of a hot chocolate. She does a quick net search on how the cacaoccino is made: there is mention of hazelnuts and Brazil nuts(!).
She loves this cafe, which sells all kinds of local NZ things such as wine, cheese, etc.
Her knee injury still hasn't completely healed, and she's puzzled by that (welcome to your 30s
). On the descent from Mt. Fuji it started acting up also.
Saturday markets in Napier are much more happening than they were in Rotorua. People in Napier dress a bit more fashionably. The going to the supermarket in bare feet might have just been a Rotorua thing, she realizes.
It seems that she has acquired another reusable coffee mug, this time with "Saki N." printed on it
