So when I found out I was moving to New Zealand, I wanted to give myself a challenge for the first month, since I wouldn’t have a new language to learn like I did with Argentina.
I wasn’t totally correct about the whole language thing (Kiwi-English is a colorful and rich dialect, with a bit of a learning curve!), but I’m certainly glad I decided to try writing a blog post a day for the month of March.
Well 31 days and 31 posts later, he we are at the end of March. How time flies!
This past month has been amazing in a lot of ways, and there are a lot of new posts coming about my experiences here in New Zealand, but here I want to give a rundown of the ground that was covered in the posts that were published.

Did the increase in postings have any impact on traffic, especially from goog? Are you seeing your regulars visiting at an increased rate?
Congrats on the challenge, Colin, that's big. And I know what I'm saying. As for New Zealand, I totally agree on the Kiwi dialect. Took a while to get in the flow, but once you train your ears everything falls into place again.
Once you're there, take a look at Waiheke Island. There's a very special place there, called Little Oneroa Beach. Not glamorous or shiny but a very well proportioned place. Let me know what you think of it.
And looking forward to read more about your NZ experiences.

I like the way you change it up ... it keeps things fresh.

Now you can stop taking all those drugs to keep you conscious.

Congrats on finishing this challenge. It's quite a big accomplishment. I know I couldn't do it.

I approve of pushing the limits. Did you have a technique for keeping things fresh every day?
Anyway, I appreciate your efforts, thoughts, and postings. Thanks.
I read everyone and here is my 1st comment. Nice work, I liked how not everyone was an essay, some were just things to think about.
