Normalne stvari tu spodaj / Normal things down here

Video 3 v 1. Najprej si oglejte spodnji video, potem pa vam razkrijem vse skrivnosti. POZOR: mogoče je boljše, da zvočnike nastavite malo tišje.

Video 3 in 1. First, look at the following video and then I will reveal you all the secrets. Careful: maybe it would be better if you volume down the speakers.

Torej. To kar slišite so ogromne pošasti. Ne, saj ne. Je pa kar močan in mrzel veter. To je verjetno eden najbolj vetrovnih dni v zadnjih...letih? Takrat sem imel na sebi praktično vsa možna oblačila, a vseeno se ta čas (kot lahko vidite na posnetku) nekateri napol goli brezskrbno guncajo na gugalnici. To je še ena od zabavnih lastnosti domačinov. Tudi najina gostiteljica Anne je rekla ''saj samo malo piha, drugače je kar toplo''. Ja, mogoče, če si iz Arktike. Med vetrovnim pohajkovanjem sva naletela na še nekaj bosonogih in napol golih osebkov, tako da sva bila verjetno midva tista ta čudna, ampak to tukaj nikogar ne moti, kar je le še ena od prednosti Nove Zelandije.

Torej zakaj se posnetek imenuje 3 v 1? Prva stvar je ta veter, druga oblačenje domačinov in tretja, najbolj pomembna je klopca, ki jo lahko vidite na posnetku. No, ta klopca je dejansko pošast. Ne, saj ni. Gre za neko veliko simboliko. Ko sva izvedela kje bova bivala prvi teden, sva si na Google maps pogledala, kje to bo. Najino oko je tudi uzrlo dotično klopco in rekla sva, da ko jo bova lahko videla v živo, bo to pomenilo, da nama je končno uspelo in sva dosegla enega najinih velikih ciljev, prispela sva na Novo Zelandijo.

To dokazuje tudi bančna kartica, ki sva jo jo uspela dobiti. Upam, da se številke tekočega računa vidijo dovolj dobro, da boste lahko nakazovali prostovoljne prispevke. Hvala že vnaprej in to za kar 12 ur.

So, what you can hear are huge monsters. No, not really. What you hear is a rather strong and cold wind. This was probably one of the windiest days in a couple of...years? I think at that time I had almost all possible clothes on me, but still there were some people (as you can see in the video) who were carelessly rocking on a swing. This is one of the funny qualities about the locals. Also our hostess Anne said “it’s just a little bit windy, otherwise it’s warm”. Yes, maybe, if you’re from the Arctic. While we were walking around during this wind, we saw some other barefoot and half naked people, so probably we were the strange ones, but here nobody cares about how you look, which is another positive thing about New Zealand.

And why is this video called 3 in 1? The first reason is this wind, the second are the locals and their clothes, and the third thing, the most important one is the bench, which you can see on the video. This bench is actually a monster. No, not really. There is a great symbolic behind it. When we found out where we’ll be staying for the first week in NZ, we immediately looked it on the Google maps, where we also saw this bench. We said to each other that our goal (coming here) will be achieved when we will see this bench in real life.

A proof that we are really here is also our new bank account. I hope numbers on this card are visible enough so you can make a donation. I would like to thank you in advance, 12 hours in advance.

 To tukaj spodaj pa je prava pošast!

Now this is a real monster!

Na sliki spodaj je prikazan primeren prostor za počitek. Ker ga midva nisva potrebovala, sem ga samo slikal.

On the picture below you can see a perfect spot to relax. Because we didn't need one, I only took a photo of it.

To na sliki sva midva.

This is us.

Takole izgledajo priprave na najin naslednji dan, počivala bova potem, kasneje, vendar ne na klopci, ki je prikazana zgoraj.

This is how our preparation for the next day look like.

Pa še ena zabavna štorija za na konec. Ko sva želela obiskati enega od okoliških vrhov (nadmorska višina 84 m) se nama je na poti pridružil prijazen domačin in med pogovorom naju je opozoril, da se sedaj bližamo nevarnemu okolišu, saj smo na oglasni deski zagledali spodnjo sliko.

I will end this post with another funny story. When we were on our way to a local peek, a very kind local guy joined us and while we were talking, he warned us that we are approaching a dangerous area, because we passed the notice below.
