What did I learn?

There are some things that I have learned and understood the past three months:

I understood why there are too many bells in buses… to make you don’t need to stand up until you want to get off from the bus.
I learned that stepfather or padrastro in french is beau-père, what means papa bonito.
I learned that you can cross in diagonal in New Zealand.
I learned that I can be punctual and I don´t need to be enforced by someone other than myself.
I learned more about meeting strangers in coffee, corners, buses and other situations.
I learned to carry around personal business cards with just my name, email and phone number.
I learned that small things matter,
I learned that sleeping in a van or in the floor is not too bad.
I learned the responsibility of writing a blog,
I learned more trusting in my intuition.
I learned that a fridge is something that I can live with out it…. for a while…
I learned how to use a Mac, Couchsurfing.org and trademe.co.nz.
I learned more English, some French and how to count up to three in Chinese.
I learned that sometimes is better let people be than try to convince them what they could do or be, however I´m not going to give up with the people who I feel they deserve it.
I learned that I can build my own furniture with just a Swiss knife
I learned that the NZ feather was really a leaf of plant.
I learned how important is a woman ¨touch¨ in each house,
I learned how to cook mussels,
I learned that walk as a kiwi means go barefoot.
I´m still learning how to apply to jobs, but I think is better walk, stop by any office or store that I like, ask for a manager, give them my hand, introduce my self, and then give him/her my resume.
I learned how to smoke shisha and that people from Saudi Arabia have something similar to mate,
I learned to drive on the left, with the steering wheel on the other side… and with Colombian talking!
I learned I can feel close to people being so far,
I learned about me
I learned that I´m not different from what I´m in my country except for what I´m learning.
