It was a raining in the morning but I still managed to grab a coffee with a Vancouverite from the hostel. I noticed that New Zealanders take their coffee seriously and apparently Wellington has some great coffee shops so I figured why not try a few.
After coffee I decided to just chill and wait till church since it was ash wednesday. The church I went to was on mt Victoria and could be seen from the city.
Ash wednesday marks the first day of lent, so that means I had to think of something to give up or a goal to strive for. I already gave up posting on facebook and instagram while Im here so I guess that counts, but I also decided to do something else:
- Meet someone new everyday (or learn something new about a friend)
I thought this would be a good idea because it would encourage me to make new friends and meet new people. So for every post Im going to mention someone I met or a new thing Ive learned about someone.
I started right away after church.... a german fellow was walking the same way back to the city so it was easy to start a conversation. He s planning to work in landscaping in wellington or auckland.
To me lent has been a good time to try to get rid of bad habits or help start some good ones. Even if I wasnt religious I think it would be a fun personal challenge to give something up or try something new.
