Auckland Ambassadors

I think I pass my first attend as a hostess in the last 2days. A friend of a friend was passing Auckland for 24hours and she trusted me enough to take care of her, so I shouldn't let her down. Moreover, I wouldn't miss the chance to meet an attractive Slovak girl and practice my poor Slovak language. She is a very lovely girl and a superwoman. I was very impressed that after 34+ hours travelling, she could still go up and down Mt. Eden without feeling tired (My legs were so sore after walking the entire afternoon and she was still okay!). Of course it's not because I was lost, but shopping was so important that I had to show her the Newmarket 3 times. Oh...about didn't see the beach? I am pretty sure the Rangitoto Island was still there.....but going to Mission Bay at night just not really a smart idea. I promise, I'll show her next time!! Poor her, she had to be my first guinea-pig as an Auckland ambassador. Hey, but now I know better than ever how to be a better hostess!!

I hope I have done well enough to make sure she felt comfortable and safe like many other did to me when I was oversea. It's like the movie "Pay it Forward". There is no way I can do or say thank you enough to those who took me in like family. All I can do is pay it forward to others who are also in need and give them the best experience in New Zealand. It is great to know that I have the ability and the chance to do the same to her.

I was also very impressed with him last night considering that he hasn't been took in kindly by others like I did. He was very kind and very mature for the whole evening. He opened door for her, let her sit at the front, chatted with the appropriate humour and took us out for dinner like a real gentleman.

Thank you for being so wonderful!!
