Here I am!
I have just arrived to this place called Hamilton, New Zealand…
It’s really New Zealand, boy, this country is in the middle of nowhere…I hoped to find at least a hobbit waiting for me, but this guy who welcomed me at the Post Office (this is another sad story, I had asked clearly to travel by plane, and I expected to have a business class seat, not to be folded like origami and to be put in a small cardboard box!), well his feet were far too small to be a hobbit’s and all the rest looked nothing like any character from “The Lord of the Rings”. We are all conditioned by stereotyped images in our imagined expectations. I was told that all the scenery of “The Lord of the Rings” is in what they call South Island, while I was sent here, to the North Island.
Anyway I’m still a little groggy and dizzy after such a long and frankly uncomfortable trip, but I’ll do my best to be your reliable reporter and to describe you what I see.
wonderful...what a delightful sense of whimsy and such a photogenic bear

What a lucky little bear! I hope to be as lucky someday...It would be a dream to travel through such a beautiful country. It looks like Frimpong certainly enjoyed himself!
