Happy 2012!
I rang in the new year with friends in Taupo, dancing the night away in a local hangout. Despite the heavy rain Taupo has experienced the past several days, massive crowds turned out in town to celebrate the new year.
The hostel where I live and work was also very crowded as this is the busiest time of year for anyone in hospitality or tourism. Every bed was full, which means we've had a lot of cleaning to do as all the revelers leave. On New Year's morning, I had the privilege of cleaning my very first vomity toilet. As this has been a big dream of mine basically my whole life, I was quite thrilled, as you can imagine.
