More Snow!

We had another white weekend in Dunedin. Although I’m down with the flu I was determined to not miss out on some snow fun. Did I mention that I’m staying with a wonderful Muslim family at the moment? They were generous enough to offer me a place in their home as it’s my first Ramadhan without my family. I know I chose to live alone this year (my attempt at being ‘Miss Independent’, I suppose) and I’ve survived so far but waking up for suhoor during winter in an empty house was no fun at all so I accepted their offer. It’s been really nice spending time with this family of four. Steve is a Kiwi who married an Indonesian, Arien, and together they had Ali and Yasmin, aged 14 and 12 respectively. I’ve known the kids ever since they were little and it’s hard to believe they’re so grown up now. 

During the long weekend we went out to enjoy the snow so here are some pictures to make you go brrr!

This shot perfectly captures the spirit of this family!

'Sup bro? Nothin', just chillin'. Literally.

Now all the snow has melted away and we're only left with freezing temperatures. Apparently New Zealand even made it on international news because of all the snow we've been getting. Yup, it even snowed in Auckland for the first time since the 1930s! Climate change, much?
