I was getting up at 5am.

At 7am I was heading out for a Coffee place to get some breakfast.
Each of the early birds of NZ I met so far is as special a character as the night owls of the other night have been too.


Pict.3: The Maori Lady of „Possibilities“ and the man with the red hat.

In the back of the Restaurant you’ll see a man with a red hat.
He is a character. He came into the Coffee Shop with flowers and immediately started to set up flowers for the tables. The manager of the Coffee Shop said, that he is doing it every morning. He is not employed and looks homeless. But this may be wrong assumption, due to his jewellery.

On the table next to me a Maori lady was taking her English Breakfast.
After some time she came over to my table, gave me a Post-It with the word „Possibilities“ written on it.
„What does this mean?“ she was asking. I picked up the subject and we got into a discussion about possibilities and personal targets for about 10 minutes, then she was standing up and was going back and finishing her breakfast without any other word. Her bacon was definitely cold by that time.
Isn’t that strange at all?
„Possibilities“ are on my mind for all of 2013 and targets have shaped out recently.
Kind of esoteric, that morning.

The Farmer’s Christmas Parade took place in Auckland that Sunday. A big event for all sorts of folks.


Pict. 4: Street Fun

Pict.5: Cute Haircut


Pict. 6 : Cute Hair Cut too.


***
Pict.7: Corean flags


Pict. 8: Santa is around.


Before the parade really started I walked up to Otautahi Tattoo. The ones who did my tattoo on the left side in 2011.
Heading for one on the right side.

My favorite tattoo shop is in Auckland.


Pict. 9 : Otautahi Tattoo


I was walking in to fix a date and to sketch a Maori Tattoo reflecting my personal focus of balance.
I will get tattooed on December 20th now. A five hour session has been predicted for this time.
This is by far not as long as back in 2011, when I was sitting there for eight hours with seven hours of stitching.
