I'm in Vancouver at the mo and I shot down to breakfast the other morning to the musical sound of kiwis talking at the next table. I stopped and said hi got talking and they're the Air NZ Kapa Haka team here in town for a couple of things - including the send off of the flight I'm on tonight back to Auckland.
Man - if anyone in here works for Air NZ say thanks to them. It is SO nice to hear and meet people from home while on the road, and to be given a full Maori send off tonight... damn - I'm just fizzing about it. It's funny... while in NZ it's part of the scenery and Kapa Haka's something you show to tourists, but even though I have zero Maori blood in me... I'll be walking tall getting on that plane tonight. Sitting here smiling just thinking about it
