GAME:guess the contents of my parcel

Thats right i got a parcel today! thats right i feel special! Thats right im at my happiest right now! Parcels from home are just make your day when youre in a crazy foreign country on the otherside of the world. Perhaps this might not be the most exciting blog to read, but i tell ya i was mighty excited!!!

No need to guess whats in it, ill fill you in...

Object #1 - MILO
One of the neccesities of life. Just like water, bread and milk. Im sorry, i dont care if nestle makes it, milo is my favourite chocolatey drink. Nothing else comes close...cadbury hot chocolate, bournvita, ovaltine...pah...and none of the stuff here does either. The hot chocolate here has a real tang to it, i cant work it out but i think that it is disgusting. Im stoked i have my milo now, though i doubt it will last long. I havent really had many hot drinks while i was here. I had tea the first week or so but i quickly got over that. And i dont do coffee, ive had too many bad experiences with coffee.

Object #2 - MARMITE
hehehe. another basic. I honestly cant live without marmite. Marmite on toast is my comfort food. It was the first thing that i tried to find when i arrived in Holland actually. I did actually find marmite...a tiny tiny little container of it. Must have been a mistake somewhere because it definetly had a more vegemite taste. Some people say theres no difference between the two, but there definetly is in my opinion. Its like one of those opposites you know, like light vs dark, good vs evil, marmite vs vegemite. Marmite will always dominate!

Object #3 - WOODCUT TOOLS
Im suprised these didnt get conviscated actually, theyre pretty sharp objects. I forgot to take them with me because i just assumed i could buy them over here. But ive been looking and looking and can never find what im looking for. So now i have them and i can start planning some woodcuts for school. Excellent.

Object #4 - JEREMY CAMP 'RESTORED" CD
ahhhh. possibly one of my favourite "christian artists". This guy has an amazing voice, and sings such awesome worship songs. If you have never heard of him you should definetly look into it. I was introduced to his music by Jane and Ruth Stewart...i think that between the two of them they might have all his albums. In fact i think this cd was the soundtrack to jane and my trip to Rotorua last year.

I couldnt have asked for a better combination of items in a parcel. Now i can eat marmite on toast, drink milo, carve woodcuts and sing along to my new cd all at the same time!
