Todd: OK, Christian 1, you were just telling me that you lived in New Zealand as an exhange student!


Christian: That's right. In high school, yeah.


Todd: What was that like?


Christian: I mean, I was 17 years at the time and, you know, I was just leaving home for the first time and going abroad for a year without going home, and it was the first time to actually move out of my family and it was an intimidating 2 experience but at the same time it was extremely 3 enjoyable. I had a great time, traveled around, met a lot of great people, got introduced into Maori culture, and yeah it was fascinating 4, really fascinating.


Todd: What did you like the most about New Zealand?


Christian: The country itself, probably the nature and the wildlife. It's just so pure, so green. You got the big mountains, you got the fjords, the rivers. It's all such, it's a great eco-system, you can tell that it's non 5 polluted 6. It's just really nice. If you appreciate it, call it nature, you can walk around and soak 7 up the atmosphere. It's really good.


Todd: What was the hardest thing about living so far from home?


Christian: The fact that I could only communicate to my family through faxes in the beginning because calling was a bit expensive. The circumstances 8 didn't allow me to use the phone where I was living, so I had to use faxes and that is a bit strange.


Todd: Wow, so there's no e-mail or internet?


Christian: Well, at the time, e-mail wasn't used that much in New Zealand. There was one computer in my school that had an interntet connection. And I was allowed to use that because I was an exchange student, the only exchange student at my school. They said, well you can come in and use it every now and then, I used it maybe once a week, because I had never used e-mail before cause this was back in 97, so it's eight, like seven or eight years ago, and I guess, in New Zealand they didn't really have that many connections.


Todd: Wow, great story.


Christian: It was truly great, yeah.
