The Kiwis Have Landed

Kiwis plant the flag
Ruth Nossek keeps a blog. She's a Commonwealth Games Association (CGA) Assistent, one of the local blue-garbbed volunteir staff. Ruth is support staff for the Botswana team, and they're New Zealand's neighbours at the Games Village.

She writes on her blog...

However, the village is now beginning to take on a life of its own. No longer is it just a shell ready to be occupied...

The NZ team have REALLY arrived. They have a very large contingency, and will be occupying a large block of houses near to the Botswana office (we share a Resident’s Centre with NZ and Scotland amongst others). Already their team officials (a fair number) have been ‘decorating’ each of the houses with large silver fern paintings hung outside for all to see. The NZ block is also covered with yellow signposts …


Good!
