Bittersweet goodbyes were said on our final Skype the week before Christmas.  Our New Zealand epals graduated and headed off for summer vacation.  We said "hello" and "goodbye" all in one brief visit.  It was fun putting faces, voices, and personalities with our 2014 epal buddies. It has been a fun year of exchanging stories, interesting information, and surprise packages.  Great memories to cherish!image[7] copyimage[6]

10449734Our New Zealand epals introduced us to the Little Shop minatures that have been used as a promotional by a supermarket chain.  We were told that there are 50 miniature items to be collected throughout the promotion.  It sounds like the country has "gone a bit mad for the promo" as they have swap parties and buy and sell online.  Our epals were kind enough to share an item with each of our students.  You would have thought it was Christmas!  Such excitements as students compared and even did a little swapping of their own!
