You know you're settling in when.....
 

You know you're settling in when you start stopping turning prices into pounds,and you buy an NZ paper,and your tone turns up at the end of a sentence,and when you get your favourite smoothy in the mall without asking,and when the drive into Wellington is gorgeous....again.

Any others?

When I can get to work without getting lost
When my colleagues can make me a coffee without having to ask what I take in it
When I wake up in the morning and recognise the sound of cicadas instead of thinking it is a pressure cooker noise
When you stop mistaking a blue note for a fiver!

When you know all the words to "Why does love do this to me"
When your routing for the All Blacks
When you start using words like "pakeha" and "whanau"

When people walking bare foot doesn't make you look twice.
