sounds like you're doing a lot of reminiscing! is someone perhaps a little ready to come home? or is it because you're going to miss terribly all the things and places and people that you have over there?
i'm sort of ready but ya, i'm going to miss doing cool stuff and meeting interesting people from around the world too.
I can't believe we were in NZ at the same time... weird. Hope you're having a great time, I'm insanely jealous, I only got three weeks down there.
Have you peed into the wind on your trip at all? It's exhilarating. Also, you should not come home without learning to juggle.
